Foaled January 21. £27,000 yearling, £60,000 2-y-o, Soldier's Call colt. Dam 7f winner out of useful winner up to 7f (2-y-o 5f-6.5f winner) Royal Confidence. Highly respected on debut.

10/3

Foaled February 4. 45,000 gns yearling, Cotai Glory colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to useful Canadian Grade 3 9f winner Second City out of US Grade 1 8.5f winner Sis City. Yard going well and would enter calculations if supported in the betting.

Classy Clarets¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey

4/1

Left debut form well behind when third of 9 in minor event at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 33/1) 16 days ago. The runner-up has franked that form since, so has solid claims.

Form: 63

14/1

Foaled March 14. Bungle Inthejungle gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Thunder Moor. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Burnwynd Boy. Makes some appeal on paper and can't be ruled out.

Lieutenant Rascal¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: George Scott

6/1

U S Navy Flag colt who shaped with promise when fifth of 11 in minor event (8/1) at Thirsk (5f, heavy) on debut 13 days ago, racing wide and no extra final 100 yds. Capable of better.

Form: 5

(3)

Midnight Lir²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Dods

7/1

Showed a bit when fourth of 8 in minor event at Ripon (5f, heavy, 11/1) on debut 20 days ago, not knocked about. Should do better.

Form: 4

(4)

Defying Orders¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: A Watson

4/1

Is bred to be speedy and showed plenty to work on despite looking green when third of 4 in minor event at Nottingham (5f, heavy, 4/1) on debut 17 days ago. Open to progress.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Rich Glory (10/3), Defying Orders (4/1), Classy Clarets (4/1), Muqtahem (5/1), Lieutenant Rascal (6/1), Midnight Lir (7/1), Jungle Mate (14/1)

LIEUTENANT RASCAL showed plenty to work on despite racing wider than ideal throughout on his recent debut at Thirsk, so he's expected to improve and make his second start a winning one. Classy Clarets sets the standard on his Pontefract third, while Muqtahem is the pick of the newcomers before market clues.
