(4)

All Is Fair

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane

11/1

Foaled March 14. Soldier's Call colt. Closely related to 2-y-o 5f winner Carmela and half-brother to 6f winner Golden Warrior. Bred to be precocious and market support behind him would look significant on debut.

Form:

Bluey's Boy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara

16/1

Foaled March 17. 55,000 gns yearling, James Garfield colt. Half-brother to useful 7f-1¼m winner Assimilation and 6f-1m winner Princess Park. Dam, 2-y-o 5f/6f winner, half-sister to smart 6f winner Knot In Wood. One to note on debut.

Good Point

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Smart

11/1

Foaled February 18. Blue Point colt. Half-brother to smart winner up to 7f Decrypt and useful winner up to 5.4f Blackberry. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Betting should prove a useful guide on racecourse bow.

Impressive Act¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| BF

5/4

Dubawi colt who shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on debut in a York maiden (6f) in May. Subsequent Leicester third has to go down as disappointing but did show plenty of speed to suggest this drop to 5f won't inconvenience him. Highly likely to be thereabouts.

Form: 23

(8)

Instant Recall²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| BF

20/1

Speedily-bred sort who was strong in betting but ultimately proved disappointing when last of 5 in a Carlisle novice (5f) on debut 24 days ago, weakening final 1f. Yard boast an excellent record with their juveniles however, and not one to be giving up on.

Form: 5

(3)

Irish Nectar³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan

3/1

Invincible Spirit colt who produced a very promising first effort when finishing close-up fourth in 5-runner Hamilton maiden (5f) 32 days ago, getting gap only late on and finishing with running left. Sure to have derived plenty from that and well worth considering.

Form: 4

(7)

Purosangue

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: A M Balding

5/1

Foaled January 31. £35,000 yearling, £125,000 2-y-o, Aclaim colt. Closely related to 7f winner Liberty Breeze. Dam, 5f/6f winner, half-sister to useful multiple 5f winner Tumblewind. Stable's newcomers command respect and another requiring a market check for clues.

Form:

(6)

White Christmas²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: M L W Bell

14/1

Went backwards from debut when eighth of 14 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good, 7/1) 28 days ago, possibly finding the race coming too soon. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 38

Forecasts

Impressive Act (5/4), Irish Nectar (3/1), Purosangue (5/1), All Is Fair (11/1), Good Point (11/1), White Christmas (14/1), Bluey's Boy (16/1), Instant Recall (20/1)

Despite things not going ideally from an early stage, there was plenty to like about IRISH NECTAR's debut fourth at Hamilton and with progress anticipated, he's fancied to build on that and come out on top. Impressive Act was rather underwhelming at Leicester last time but can get back on track with the drop to 5f expected to hold no fears. All Is Fair and Bluey's Boy are a couple of newcomers to note.
