Pearl Beauty¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: J Tizzard

200/1

No show in 2 bumpers and a 6f Lingfield novice. Big outsider.

Form: 6

Daahes²⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Hannon

14/1

Better effort at 2 when sixth of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) in September. Likely capable of better again.

Form: 96-

Equatorial²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| BF

5/4

Plenty of promise when runner-up in maiden at Doncaster and novice at Newbury (both 7f) this spring. Likely capable of better again and the one to beat here.

Form: 22

Island Luck¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: R Hannon

80/1

Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 10 in novice at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Likely more one for handicaps after this.

Jimmy Frankham

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: Owen Burrows

10/3

£70,000 Expert Eye half-brother to 7f winner Dutch Story and useful winner up to 7f Admiral Nelson. The booking of William Buick for this newcomer takes the eye.

Lion Tamer^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 78

5/2

Fairly useful form. Bumped into a smart prospect when second at Chelmsford (1m) 19 days ago. Bold show looks assured.

Form: 2-52

(3)

Lisboa³²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden

9/1

Showed a fair level of ability on the first of 2 outings over 7f last July. Not seen since. Stablemate of Lion Tamer. Unexposed but betting perhaps the best guide to expectations on this return to action.

Form: 56-

Mathematician^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Raul Da Silva| T: R Varian

40/1

Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, sixth of 11 in novice at Chelmsford (1m) 19 days ago. Type to better at some point but Equatorial looks the stable first string here.

Form: 06

Flame Queen⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Charles Bishop| T: J Channon

125/1

25/1, tenth of 12 in novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 8 days ago, not clear run. Should have more to offer.

Forecasts

Equatorial (5/4), Lion Tamer (5/2), Jimmy Frankham (10/3), Lisboa (9/1), Talis Evolvere (10/1), Daahes (14/1), Mathematician (40/1), Island Luck (80/1), Flame Queen (125/1), Fishermans Cottage (200/1), Pearl Beauty (200/1)

This may develop into a straight fight between EQUATORIAL and Lion Tamer, with a narrow preference for the former on the back of 2 promising runner-up efforts this spring. Talis Evolvere showed promise on his debut last summer and may prove best of the remainder unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Owen Burrows newcomer Jimmy Frankham, the mount of William Buick.
