Barleybrown³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

66/1

Twice-raced maiden. 33/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 07

(10)

El Pequeno Pulpo¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle

200/1

Once-raced maiden. 200/1, thirteenth of 15 in minor event at Newbury (7f, good) on debut 12 days ago, slowly away. Hard to warm to on the back of that low-key introduction.

Form: 0

(2)

Falcon Nine²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute

13/2

Highly promising type. 8/1, fourth of 7 in minor event at Leicester (7f, good) on debut 23 days ago, slowly away. Should significantly improve now faced with a stiffer test and he's high on the shortlist. Entered in next year's Epsom Derby.

Form: 4

(7)

Muktamil¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P Tregoning

15/2

Twice-raced maiden. 5/1, fourth of 14 in minor event at Newbury (7f, good) 12 days ago, hampered. This well-bred colt is open to improvement and should have a part to play in the finish.

Form: 64

(5)

Racingbreaks Ryder²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: C Hills

10/3

Promising sort. Second of 8 in minor event at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft, 5/2) 21 days ago. Further progress is likely and likely to make a bold bid to go one better here.

Form: 02

(8)

Tony Montana

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: J & T Gosden

3/1

Foaled April 27. 425,000 gns yearling, Kingman colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1½m and Horseplay and useful 8.3f-1½m winner More Mischief. Lots to like on paper and the market should be revealing.

Uncle¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

11/2

Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 15 in minor event at Newbury (7f, good, 14/1) on debut 12 days ago, not knocked about. May well do better with that experience to draw upon here.

Form: 5

(4)

Bluestocking

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett

9/1

Foaled February 11. Camelot filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1m Desirous and useful 2-y-o 7f-8.6f winner Pomelo. Dam winner up to 1m (Matron Stakes and 2-y-o 7f winner). Yard boasts a healthy strike rate with juveniles this season and she's one to note in the betting.

Form:

Roarin' Success

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T E Whelan| T: H & R Charlton

40/1

Foaled March 16. Roaring Lion filly. Dam, 5f/6f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Anticipated. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run.

Form:

(1)

Totnes

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

11/2

Foaled March 10. Kingman filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m-1¼m winner Chichester and winner up to 1½m Jamil. Of obvious interest on debut. In top hands and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say.

Forecasts

Tony Montana (3/1), Racingbreaks Ryder (10/3), Uncle (11/2), Totnes (11/2), Falcon Nine (13/2), Muktamil (15/2), Bluestocking (9/1), Roarin' Success (40/1), Barleybrown (66/1), El Pequeno Pulpo (200/1)

In a race likely to throw up any number of future winners, FALCON NINE gets the marginal vote. Despite being easy to back and very much held back by inexperience on debut at Leicester, he shaped with plenty of promise and can be expected to take a big step forward. Uncle's Newbury introduction was similarly promising and he is also open to significant improvement, while Racingbreaks Ryder and Muktamil are others with strong claims, and a market move for any of the newcomers would be noteworthy.
