Another Dimension²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Spencer

50/1

Once-raced maiden. Ran green when sixth of 11 in minor event (80/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) on debut 28 days ago. Should improve, but perhaps appeals as more of a middle-distance prospect.

Form: 6

(10)

Bauhinia Rhapsody²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: E Walker

11/1

Promising sort. 8/1, still far from the finished article but improved when second of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 25 days ago. Open to further progress.

Form: 92

(6)

Eyetrap¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

28/1

Once-raced maiden. Hinted at abilty and shaped as if better for run when eighth of 13 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 14/1) on debut 19 days ago. Likely to improve, though others make more immediate appeal.

Form: 8

(8)

Feud³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: R M Beckett| BF

11/4

Promising individual. 11/4, improved from debut when third of 12 in maiden at York (7.9f, good to soft) 39 days ago, hanging left but keeping on. Bred to be useful and should have more to offer.

Form: 43

(1)

God Of Fire⁶²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: S C Williams

66/1

Bred more for stamina than speed and shaped as if needing run when fifth of 7 in maiden (66/1) at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) on debut 62 days ago.

Form: 5

(2)

I'm Too Tired

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: H & R Charlton

40/1

Foaled February 11. 68,000 gns yearling, Ribchester gelding. Dam, maiden (best effort at 1¼m), closely related to winning dam of Golden Fleece/International Stakes winner Cadillac. Respected on debut.

Form:

Laser Guided

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: S & E Crisford

15/2

Foaled March 11. 400,000 gns yearling, Kingman colt. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to top-class winner up to 1½m (Derby/Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe) Golden Horn. One to note on debut, though draw will make life difficult.

Form:

(9)

Like A Tiger³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| BF

11/8

Promising type. Fairly useful form when placed both starts to date, probably improving a bit despite being beaten at short odds when third of 10 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, soft, 11/10) 35 days ago. Sets the standard.

Form: 23

(7)

Lunar Landscape⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

9/1

Once-raced maiden. 20/1, caught eye when fourth of 10 in minor event at this course (7f) on debut 42 days ago, running on late under hands-and-heels ride. Should progress.

Form: 4

(11)

Optik

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock

80/1

80,000Y: Fourth foal: Half-brother to useful winner up to 1¼m Strait of Hormuz (2-y-o 7f winner) and 2-y-o 7f winner Siamsa: dam lightly-raced half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Mehmas. Interesting newcomer.

Form:

(3)

Tenaciously⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: W Muir & C Grassick

250/1

Down the field in 6f minor event here and in 7f maiden at Wolverhampton. Can't be fancied on that evidence.

Form: 80

(4)

Umberto

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: K P De Foy

11/1

Foaled February 23. Expert Eye colt. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Marie Josephe. Appeals as more of a longer-term prospect on paper.

Form:

(5)

Uncle Matthew¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: J & T Gosden

50/1

Twice-raced maiden. Represents top connections but is seemingly being brought along gradually, only sixth of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 11 days ago.

Form: 96

Non-Runners

Smart Charger

Weight: 9-7| Age: 2

T: A W Carroll J: George Downing

Forecasts

Like A Tiger (11/8), Feud (11/4), Laser Guided (15/2), Lunar Landscape (9/1), Umberto (11/1), Bauhinia Rhapsody (11/1), Eyetrap (28/1), I'm Too Tired (40/1), Another Dimension (50/1), Uncle Matthew (50/1), God Of Fire (66/1), Optik (80/1), Smart Charger (100/1), Tenaciously (250/1)

LIKE A TIGER was beaten at short odds last time but took a step forward in bare form terms and sets the standard here, with further progress a distinct possibility for James Ferguson's colt. Feud, Lunar Landscape and Bauhinia Rhapsody have all shown talent and appeal as the biggest dangers to the selection.
