5/6

Well backed and produced a promising first effort when second of 9 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f, 2/1) 13 days ago. Sure to progress and has to be considered the one to beat.

Yakhabar¹⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: L Bailey

11/2

Showed some promise on debut for Sir Michael Stoute in July 2021 and probably needed the run when a well-held third at Pontefract a year on.

Colombidea^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Fellowes| OR: 79

11/4

Fair maiden who was well held on handicap debut at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 15 days ago, possibly unsuited by conditions and step up in trip. Drops back to 7f and should be more competitive.

Form: 5-495

(2)

Lady Beaconsfield^h¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: K Jewell

200/1

Well held in a pair of novice events, in hood latest.

Whispering Song³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

15/2

Very much caught the eye when fifth of 11 in maiden at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 31 days ago, finishing with running left under considerate handling. Remains with potential but this drop in trip isn't sure to suit.

Forecasts

One For The Frog (5/6), Colombidea (11/4), Yakhabar (11/2), Bluebells Boy (11/2), Whispering Song (15/2), Faithless Insomnia (18/1), Toddays The Day (33/1), Nicolas Andry (80/1), Pearl's A Swinger (80/1), Lady Beaconsfield (200/1)

ONE FOR THE FROG produced a promising first effort when runner-up at Southwell 13 days ago and is selected to go one better with improvement on the cards. Colombidea ought to be more competitive dropping back in trip, while newcomer Bluebells Boy wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make an impact.
