Mustango^b²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 77

11/2

Fair form. Cheekpieces on first time, creditable third of 11 in conditions race at Lyon Parilly (6.7f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Blinkers the headgear of choice this time.

Form: 2843

Ray Vonn¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Miss Gay Kelleway

7/2

150/1, showed some ability when eighth of 13 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 12 days ago, despite not making life easy for his rider (pulled hard). This is a weaker race so could figure prominently.

Form: 8

Tyrone's Poppy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby

16/1

Foaled April 26. Buratino gelding. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner). Stable had a first-time-out 2-y-o winner over this trip at Redcar on Sunday so a market move would be worth noting.

Wan'em

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: K R Burke

3/1

Foaled April 17. €10,000 Free Eagle gelding. Dam, maiden (stayed 1¼m), sister to smart winning sprinter Son of Rest. Newcomer from a good stable. Starts out in a very winnable race and market confidence could prove significant.

Zicatela¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: G Boughey

7/2

4/1, shaped as if needing run when third of 7 in novice at Brighton (7f, good to firm) on debut 15 days ago. In good hands and has the potential for better this time.

Form: 3

Artistic Girl²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: C & M Johnston

20/1

7/2, last of 9 in novice at Yarmouth (6f, good) on debut 26 days ago. Can't really make a case for after that but the fact that she was prominent in the betting suggests that a better performance was anticipated.

Form: 9

Breath Catcher²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 69

4/1

Modest form and not at her best when 5 lengths third of 4 at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Remains to be seen whether this step up in trip makes any difference.

Form: 6563

Forecasts

Wan'em (3/1), Zicatela (7/2), Ray Vonn (7/2), Breath Catcher (4/1), Mustango (11/2), Tyrone's Poppy (16/1), Artistic Girl (20/1)

Given that those with experience don't set the bar particularly high it may be worth taking a chance on Karl Burke newcomer WAN'EM, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Ray Vonn was only mid-division on his recent Newmarket debut but it came in what will likely turn out to be a strong race so he's feared most ahead of Amy Murphy's Mustango.
