Al Dasim³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 10-4| J: J Mitchell| T: G Boughey| OR: 90| C

2/7

Cosily won 5f minor event here last month, despite hanging badly left. Sets a high standard on his achievements so far and looks very tough to beat.

Form: 221621

Bay Of Hope²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: M & D Easterby

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. Still green when eighth of 11 in minor event (22/1) at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Much more required.

Form: 78

(9)

Dream Mission¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A Watson

33/1

Once-raced maiden. Speedily-bred sort from good yard but was weak in the market and showd little when eighth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) on debut 18 days ago.

Form: 8

(10)

Ertebat³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R Coakley| T: H Palmer

11/2

Promising sort. 15/2, shaped quite well when fifth of 12 in minor event at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) on debut 38 days ago, racing prominently but just unable to quicken. Should improve.

Form: 5

Hitched

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock

12/1

Foaled May 6. 50,000 gns yearling, Cotai Glory colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Ring Out The Bells. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 6f-1m winner Yamal. Yard winless with newcomers this season.

H Key Lails¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Craig Lidster

200/1

Looks limited on early evidence, showing little in minor events at Pontefract and Redcar.

Form: 06

(4)

Sergeant Pep

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox

6/1

Foaled March 8. 70,000 gns foal, £80,000 yearling, Kodiac colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Lafan. Dam of little account, closely related to useful 1m/9f winner Shamtee. Withdrawn after intended debut after going down in stalls. Yard can ready a newcomer and market check advised.

Form:

(5)

Spice Rack⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: S Hodgson

150/1

Minor promise on debut for Ger Lyons but failed to beat a rival in 5f event here last week, so looks very hard to fancy again.

Form: 09

(1)

Billy's Joy¹⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Watson| T: P D Evans

25/1

Promise when second of 5 in minor event at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) on debut and still wanted for experience when fifth in 10-runner maiden at Ripon 11 days later. Off 150 days but remains open to progress.

Form: 25

(3)

Mayz⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: T E Whelan| T: J L Spearing

200/1

Nothing to be positive about in a pair of minor events so far and looks set for another struggle.

Form: 80

Forecasts

Al Dasim (2/7), Ertebat (11/2), Sergeant Pep (6/1), Hitched (12/1), Billy's Joy (25/1), Dream Mission (33/1), Bay Of Hope (125/1), Spice Rack (150/1), Mayz (200/1), H Key Lails (200/1)

This represents a penalty kick for AL DASIM, who shouldn't need to be anywhere near his best to follow up from his win over 5f here last time. Ertebat went with promise on debut at Nottingham and appeals as the only creditable threat from those with experience. Billy's Joy is preferred to the newcomers for third.
