Desert Games¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey

3/1

Promising start to career when third (Quantum Impact neck ahead in second) of 10 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6f, 25/1) 15 days ago. Should have more to offer and leading claims.

Form: 3

Harry's Halo⁷⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: K Frost

125/1

66/1, last of 15 in maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on debut 70 days ago.

Hobson Point

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

5/1

Oasis Dream half-brother to 5f/5.7f winner Symbol of Hope and useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Attagirl. Yard has a lot of good 2-y-os this year so a market move for this one would look significant.

Quantum Impact¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett

13/8

Twice-raced maiden. Stepped up on debut when second of 10 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6f) 15 days ago, with the reopposing Desert Games a neck behind in third.

Form: 42

Ready Reckoner¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

11/1

22/1, ninth of 12 in novice at Newmarket (6f, good to soft, 22/1) on debut 19 days ago, slowly away. May do better with that experience behind her.

Form: 9

(9)

Smooth Red

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: Grant Tuer

50/1

Jungle Cat colt. Dam unraced out of useful French 1m winner Crecy (runner-up in Prix Penelope at 10.5f), also successful over hurdles there. Betting should help guide to expectations with this newcomer.

Form:

Havanawing³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Hanagan| T: M Walford

150/1

Poor form both starts and a likely outsider here.

Forecasts

Quantum Impact (13/8), Desert Games (3/1), Hobson Point (5/1), Derwent Boy (5/1), Ready Reckoner (11/1), Tillybob (12/1), Penny Ghent (20/1), Smooth Red (50/1), Harry's Halo (125/1), Havanawing (150/1)

DESERT GAMES was a neck behind the reopposing Quantum Impact at Wolverhampton recently but that was the Richard Fahey-trained colts debut so he's taken to improve past his old rival in what may develop into a match between the pair unless the betting speaks in the favour of Karl Burke newcomer Hobson Point.
