Art Fantastique²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: T Ward

33/1

Twice-raced colt. 50/1, tenth of 11 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Looks more of a long-term project.

Form: 90

Enpassant¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ross Coakley| T: J R Fanshawe

13/2

Once-raced colt. 10/1, eleventh of 13 in minor event at Newbury (6.5f, firm) on debut 19 days ago. Likely he will be seen in a better light in nurseries further down the line.

Harts Pocketrocket³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll

150/1

Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 8 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good, 80/1) 30 days ago. Hard to warm to.

John Steed²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 74

9/1

Thrice-raced colt. 11/2, seventh of 9 in minor event at Bath (5.7f, firm) 25 days ago. Eased in class now and will be on the premises if able to belatedly build on his debut promise.

Form: 277

(6)

Labalaba¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: S & E Crisford

30/100

Promising type. Second of 5 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 2/1) on debut 16 days ago. Looks sure to progress and win races, starting with this maiden.

Form: 2

(4)

Miggy Magic¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe

8/1

Once-raced colt. Seventh of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW, 14/1) on debut 12 days ago. Will be more street-wise this time and some minor place money may prove to be within reach.

Form: 7

(1)

Outer Edge

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: C Mason

66/1

Foaled April 22. Due Diligence colt. Dam 5f-6f winner. Yard is not synonymous with winning newcomers and, unless the betting suggests otherwise, he's probably best watched on this occasion.

Forecasts

Labalaba (30/100), Enpassant (13/2), Miggy Magic (8/1), John Steed (9/1), Art Fantastique (33/1), Outer Edge (66/1), Harts Pocketrocket (150/1)

This is all about LABALABA, who shaped with plenty of promise when second to a bright prospect on his recent introduction at Salisbury. He should have little trouble going one better here before going on to better things. John Steed has failed to build on his encouraging debut in two subsequent appearances but he nevertheless looks the one most likely to follow the selection home. Miggy Magic is most interesting of the remainder.
