Alpha Capture⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

1/2

Promising type. Green but impressed when second of 10 in minor event at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 4/1) on debut 40 days ago, running on. Improvement almost certain and he looks one to beat.

Another Baar

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: A Keatley

10/1

Foaled April 27. 20,000 gns foal, 30,000 gns yearling, £70,000 2-y-o, Mayson colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Rapid Russo and 7f winner Inclement Weather. Other debutants make more appeal.

Arkenstaar

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

18/1

Foaled April 8. 24,000 gns foal, £40,000 2-y-o, Kessaar colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1¼m winner Roscioli and 7f/1m winner War Defender. Dam 6f/7f winner. Bred to be sharp enough, though others with form already in the book hold stronger claims.

Barrolo

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer

40/1

25,000F, 65,000Y: sixth foal: half-brother to 3 winners, including 6f-8.6f winner Plumette (by Compton Place) and 7f/1m winner Baadirr (by Showcasing): dam twice-raced half-sister to smart 10.5f winner Sword Fighter. Good yard aren't associated with debut winners.

Carvetii⁵⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: D Carroll

16/1

Twice-raced maiden. Improved a bit from debut when third of 15 in minor event (7/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 57 days ago. Frame claims on that form.

Form: 53

Indication Rocket⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis| T: R Menzies

150/1

Last of 4 in maiden (10/1) at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) on debut 9 days ago, slowly away. Very little shown there and needs to improve significantly second time up.

Form: 4

James McHenry

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: E Bethell

7/1

Foaled April 17. 25,000 gns foal, £55,000 yearling, 120,000 gns 2-y-o, Starspangledbanner colt. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Gutaifan. Notable pedigree and yard's newcomers often supported.

Storm Venture²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| BF

18/1

Twice-raced maiden. Best of newcomers when fourth at Chester on debut but went off far too hard when ninth of 11 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good) 22 days ago. Place claims if racing more efficiently here.

Form: 49

(7)

Whatacracker²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll

28/1

Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 14 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 50/1) 29 days ago. Surely capable of better, but that improvement is expected to come over longer trips.

Form: 86

(10)

Lady Manyara⁷⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| BF

12/1

Once-raced maiden. 4/1, comes from prolific familt and was well backed when sixth of 8 in maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) on debut 76 days ago, looked unsuited by the track. Clearly though capable of better.

Form: 6

(4)

Penelope's Sister³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: J S Goldie

200/1

Once-raced maiden. Too green to show anything when last of 6 in maiden (40/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) on debut 38 days ago, losing all chance at start. Can't be fancied on that showing.

Form: 6

Tephi¹⁶

Weight: 9-2| Age: 2

T: G Boughey J: D Tudhope

Forecasts

Alpha Capture (1/2), Tephi (4/1), James McHenry (7/1), Another Baar (10/1), Lady Manyara (12/1), Carvetii (16/1), Arkenstaar (18/1), Storm Venture (18/1), Whatacracker (28/1), Barrolo (40/1), Indication Rocket (150/1), Penelope's Sister (200/1)

ALPHA CAPTURE possesses an appealing sprint pedigree (half-brother to Acklam Express) and showed talent when a close second on debut. He should know more this time and will take all the beating. Tephi ran to a fair level last time and also looks open to progress, whilst market support for Lady Manyara will also be notable.
