Arc Shadowfax¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| D

9/2

Left debut form well behind when winning 6f maiden at Redcar (good to soft) 10 days ago, staying on well. May do better again but more will be needed under a penalty.

Form: 41

Dawn Charger²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

4/7

Promising individual. Second on debut then won 7-runner maiden at Ascot (5f, soft) 20 days ago, staying on well. Should have more to offer now stepping up to 6f. Leading claims.

Form: 21

Charged Up⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears| BF

11/2

Twice-raced maiden. Third in Brocklesby on debut and met trouble at a crucial stage when fourth of 9 at Beverley (5f, good to soft) since. Much respected now stepping up to 6f.

Form: 34

Howard's Choice

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: A Keatley

20/1

Foaled January 30. £21,000 Ulysses colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 5f winner Ornate out of useful 2-y-o 6f winner Adorn. Betting should help guide to expectations.

Peaceful Protest

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

80/1

Foaled February 20. Showcasing gelding. Half-brother to 9.5f winner Marmara Star. Most from the yard are better for a run.

Rising Force¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate

22/1

No better than modest form in 2 outings last month, although the fact his starting prices were 11/8 and 9/2 suggests better was anticipated. Still time for him to come good.

Form: 50

Star Of Lazise

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: G Tutty

25/1

Foaled April 20. 19,000 gns Inns of Court colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 1m Liber and winner up to 9f Mont Kinabalu. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Certainly bred to have a future. The betting should reveal more.

Keep Warm³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby

50/1

18/1, sixth of 8 in novice at Ripon (5f, heavy) on debut 33 days ago.

Form: 6

Night Safari¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston

12/1

18/5, fourth of 9 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good to soft) on debut 10 days ago, fading in the closing stages as if needing the run. Open to progress for a leading stable which has won this race a couple of times in recent years.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Dawn Charger (4/7), Arc Shadowfax (9/2), Charged Up (11/2), Night Safari (12/1), Howard's Choice (20/1), Rising Force (22/1), Star Of Lazise (25/1), Keep Warm (50/1), Peaceful Protest (80/1)

DAWN CHARGER leaves the impression she'll be well suited by the step up to 6f and can supplement her Ascot success. Charged Up had an excuse when a beaten favourite at Beverley and looks the chief threat ahead of Night Safari, who could come on a fair bit for his first run at Redcar.
