Bold Act²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

2/7

New Approach colt who made a very encouraging start when only finding a stablemate too strong at this C&D 20 days ago, staying on well having been denied a clear run. The one to beat.

Form: 2

Grenham Bay¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding

4/1

Looked badly in need of the experience but got the idea late on when third of 9 in minor event at Sandown (7f, good, 28/1) on debut 16 days ago. Should do better with that run behind him.

Form: 3

(4)

Palamon

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Hannon

12/1

Foaled February 24. €23,000 foal, £50,000 yearling, Decorated Knight colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1¼m-1¾m winner Okool. Looks the pick of the Hannon pair.

Form:

Go Senator Go⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: R Hannon

25/1

Shaped as if better for the run, both in terms of experience and fitness, when fifth of 6 in minor event at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 15/2) on debut only 5 days ago. Should improve.

Form: 5

(3)

Harry With Style³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Ryan

50/1

Made some appeal on paper but offered little on his racecourse bow when fourteenth of 15 in minor event at Ayr (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 32 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 0

(5)

Scorch¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: P W Chapple-Hyam

50/1

11/1, well-beaten last of 9 in maiden at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) on his first start 13 days ago. Needs to leave that effort well behind.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Bold Act (2/7), Grenham Bay (4/1), Palamon (12/1), Go Senator Go (25/1), Scorch (50/1), Harry With Style (50/1)

BOLD ACT shaped very encouragingly when runner-up on debut at this C&D last month and can build on that effort to go one better this time around. Grenham Bay could be the one to give the selection most to think about with his first run behind him, while debutant Palamon looks the pick of the Hannon-trained pair based on jockey bookings.
