Bits And Bobs¹¹

11/4

5/1, won 15-runner maiden at Leicester (6f, good) on debut 11 days ago, well on top finish. This James Garfield colt seems sure to do better. In the mix.

Form: 1

Master Franca³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer

5/1

15/2, encouraging fourth of 10 in maiden at York (6f, firm) on debut 30 days ago. Should have more to offer.

Form: 4

There's No Limit¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston

5/1

11/2, built on debut promise when third of 10 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, firm) 10 days ago. May do better still. Firmly in the picture.

Form: 33

Je Ne Sais Quoi¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| D

13/8

Promising Dandy Man filly who landed odds in 14-runner maiden at Thirsk (6f, good) 12 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Likely to improve further. The form choice.

Form: 31

Eco Power Boy²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer

50/1

25/1, eleventh of 14 in minor event at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) on debut 28 days ago. Up in trip with lots to find.

Form: 0

Innvincible Friend²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Tom Dascombe| BF

7/1

Fair form when runner-up first two starts but only ninth of 12 in maiden (7/2) at Haydock (6f, good) 23 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 229

40/1

Foaled April 19. Saxon Warrior colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 6f winner Giselles Ausie and 6f winner Silver Nemo. Respected newcomer.

Forecasts

Je Ne Sais Quoi (13/8), Bits And Bobs (11/4), Master Franca (5/1), There's No Limit (5/1), Innvincible Friend (7/1), Kenyan Warrior (40/1), Eco Power Boy (50/1)

William Haggas' JE NE SAIS QUOI holds the edge on the form of her recent Thirsk success and with more improvement on the cards she looks the way to go. Newbury-third There's No Limit could emerge as the chief threat ahead of Leicester-scorer Bits And Bobs.
