Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

2/1

Stepped up on debut when second of 10 in maiden at Ascot (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago, showing enough to suggest he can win an ordinary maiden/novice at least.

Form: 02

(1)

Danger Alert^h1⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: K P De Foy

9/2

Fetched six-figures again at the Breeze-Ups and shaped well enough when mid-field in 6f Haydock maiden on debut in May. Excuses at Chester since (bit slipped). First run for yard after leaving Kevin Ryan. Hood on 1st time.

Form: 58

(9)

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott

80/1

Twice-raced gelding. 50/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 11 days ago. Plenty to find.

Form: 08

(2)

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore

10/1

Given a considerate introduction when sixth of 13 in novice event (22/1) at Windsor (6f, firm) on debut 24 days ago. May well do better.

Form: 6

Tenjin^h²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: M Botti

13/2

Twice-raced colt. Better effort in maidens when third of 7 at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 22 days ago, beaten only by a couple of useful sorts. Not taken lightly.

Form: 63

(6)

Bonny Angel²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox

3/1

Showed more than on debut when third of 11 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good) 20 days ago. That form looks much better now than it did at the time (winner has since won Molecomb at Goodwood) so needs considering dropped in trip.

Form: 73

(5)

Miss Attitude¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon| OR: 65

16/1

Improved for the drop back to 5f but still only seventh of 9 in maiden at this C&D (good, 40/1) 15 days ago.

Form: 787

Forecasts

Bailey Gate (2/1), Bonny Angel (3/1), Danger Alert (9/2), Tenjin (13/2), Fierce (10/1), Miss Attitude (16/1), Rewilding (22/1), Huberts Dream (50/1), Eight Mile (80/1)

BONNY ANGEL proved all the better for her debut when third in a maiden at Newbury and that form looks much stronger now than it did at the time. The daughter of Harry Angel shouldn't have an issue with the drop to 5f and is preferred to Bailey Gate, who has a similar profile. Tenjin looks best of the others.
