9/4

Winner at Newbury in August. 10/3, failed to match previous effort when fifth of 9 in minor event at Ascot (7f, good) 61 days ago, though sweated up beforehand. Can bounce back.

Form: 915

Angel Of Antrim⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: A Stronge

150/1

250/1, fared no better than first time out when ninth of 10 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 51 days ago. Makes little appeal.

Form: 99

(3)

Concorde¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: G Boughey

20/1

Couldn't build on debut promise when eighth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 8/1) 15 days ago. Likely to need further in time.

Form: 68

Higher Law²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Appleby

4/6

Well-bred colt who showed promise when third of 10 in minor event (2/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 29 days ago. Can get off the mark with improvement to come.

Form: 3

(9)

Kitaro Kich¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: N Callan| T: George Baker

14/1

Much improved from debut when sixth of 10 in minor event (100/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Can make the frame.

Form: 06

(2)

Papa Ricco¹⁶¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods

28/1

Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, showed some speed when last of 7 in minor event at Yarmouth (7f, good), leading until over 2f out before weakening. Off 161 days. Much more required having been gelded.

Form: 97

(4)

Think Climate¹⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

16/1

5/1, green when sixth of 8 in minor event at Nottingham (6.1f, good) on debut. Off 147 days. Needs to have learnt plenty from that first experience.

Form: 6

(10)

Zain Al Maani

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

22/1

Foaled March 9. 65,000 gns yearling, £15,000 2-y-o. Profitable colt. Closely related to 6f/7f winner Mill Valley and half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 9f Hesslewood (2-y-o 6f winner).

400/1

Showed little when last of 10 in minor event at Yarmouth (8f, soft, 200/1) on debut 16 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 0

Tallulah Myla⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams

80/1

Very green when last of 9 in minor event at this course (6f, 16/1) on debut 7 days ago. Needs to leave first effort well behind.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Higher Law (4/6), Oj Lifestyle (9/4), Kitaro Kich (14/1), Think Climate (16/1), Concorde (20/1), Zain Al Maani (22/1), Papa Ricco (28/1), Tallulah Myla (80/1), Angel Of Antrim (150/1), Miss Maisiepaige (400/1)

HIGHER LAW made plenty of appeal on paper and showed clear ability when third at Kempton last month, so he can build on that effort to open his account at the second time of asking. Oj Lifestyle could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Kitaro Kich the pick of the remainder.
