Permata³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in minor event at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 250/1) 33 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 09

Faattik

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian

7/2

67,000 gns foal, 290,000 gns yearling. Brother to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Landshark and half-brother to 3 winners, including 7f winner Eula Varner. Lots to like on paper and the betting should be instructive.

Federal Street^p1³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: A Watson

10/3

Twice-raced maiden. Second of 11 in minor event (2/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he just about sets the standard.

Form: 52

(8)

Flyawaydream²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Sir Mark Prescott

11/2

Once-raced maiden. 13/2, second of 7 in minor event at Haydock (7f, good) on debut 22 days ago. Will be more street-wise this time and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 2

(1)

Glen Cove³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Louis Steward| T: D M Simcock

40/1

Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in minor event (33/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Open to improvement, albeit it could be that he will shine when switched to handicaps.

Form: 6-6

(9)

Marley Head

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: J TizzardWS

16/1

£15,000 yearling, Pride of Dubai gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including 9.5f winner Toast of The Town and 2-y-o 5f winner Strut, both useful. One to note in the betting.

Form:

Shigar¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: W J Haggas| OR: 78WS

6/5

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 10 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, good, 11/4) when last seen in March. Since gelded (has also undergone a wind op) and he's one of the more likely winners.

Form: 34-4

(10)

Grand Cru Gaga¹⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: P & O Cole

40/1

Twice-raced maiden. 7/1, third of 8 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f). Off 6 months. Open to improvement, but she may be another who will be seen in a better light when tackling handicaps.

Form: 9-3

(2)

Zandora¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: R Brisland

200/1

Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 100/1) 14 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 86

Forecasts

Shigar (6/5), Federal Street (10/3), Faattik (7/2), Flyawaydream (11/2), Marley Head (16/1), Grand Cru Gaga (40/1), Glen Cove (40/1), Roundabout Silver (50/1), Permata (150/1), Zandora (200/1)

FAATTIK ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and it will look significant if there's confidence behind him in the betting. He is taken to make a winning start to his career, perhaps at the chief expense of Federal Street, who has shown plenty of ability in his two starts and will be a big threat if the first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect. Shigar and Flyawaydream are both accorded respect, too.
