H Key Lails¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: Craig Lidster

80/1

Foaled March 22. £24,000 yearling, Washington Dc gelding. Last of 11 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, good to soft, 50/1) on debut 15 days ago, missing break and always behind. Best watched.

Form: 0

Michael's Pledge⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: J & S Quinn

20/1

Twice-raced maiden. 22/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at this course (9f, soft) 8 days ago, slowly into stride and always behind. Down in trip.

Form: 06

(6)

Phoenix Fire⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Dods

15/2

Twice-raced maiden. 28/1, twelfth of 13 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f) 41 days ago, never dangerous. Course debut effort previously contained some promise but another likely to be better served by handicaps later on.

Form: 60

(4)

Smooth Ryder¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: C & M Johnston

7/1

Smooth Daddy colt. Took a small step forward from his debut effort when fifth of 9 in novice event at Chelmsford (7f) 10 days ago, headed over 1f out and weakening. More needed on turf debut.

Form: 05

(2)

The King's Men³⁶

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

5/2

Unfortunately colt. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner The King's Horses. Promising type. 11/1, second of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 36 days ago, missing break but keeping on final 1f. Likely improver.

Form: 2

(7)

Time Traveller⁴⁷

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

5/2

Harry Angel colt who offered plenty to work on when 5 lengths fifth of 12 in a newcomers' maiden at Haydock (6f) in August. Couldn't match that when seventh at Ayr (7.2f) subsequently but he's a player nevertheless in a novice lacking depth.

Form: 57

(5)

Yeoman

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe

5/2

Foaled January 24. Tamayuz gelding. Dam, 1m/8.3f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m Zest. Yard 1-23 with their juveniles this term and the betting should prove a useful guide.

Yorkstone¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Gray| T: M & D Easterby

80/1

Foaled May 1. 1,750 gns yearling, Mayson gelding. Offered little when last of 7 in a C&D claimer on debut 18 days ago, very slowly away and always behind. This should reveal more.

Form: 7

(9)

Daisy Roots²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: A West

150/1

Offered little both starts to date, eighth of 10 in novice event at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 29 days ago, always behind. Can only be watched.

Form: 08

Forecasts

Flight Plan (13/8), Time Traveller (5/2), Yeoman (5/2), The King's Men (5/2), Smooth Ryder (7/1), Phoenix Fire (15/2), Michael's Pledge (20/1), Malinheadsearovers (50/1), Yorkstone (80/1), H Key Lails (80/1), Daisy Roots (150/1)

Despite being strong in the betting, FLIGHT PLAN ultimately shaped as though he would derive plenty from his Leicester debut effort 3 weeks ago, running green and not given a hard time. A well-related individual, he can build on that run and earns the vote. The King's Men shaped well behind an easy winner on debut at Newcastle and is feared, along with Time Traveller.
