Mayo Neighs¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett| OR: 85

13/8

Gelded prior to making a taking winning debut at Bath in May. 8½ lengths ninth of 23 to Big Evs in listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot 17 days ago, though he finished second on his side and he retains plenty of potential. Mark could be lenient.

Form: 19

Politico¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 85| D

18/1

€63,000 yearling, Blue Point colt. Dam 6f winner (including at 2 yrs). Stepped up on debut when easily making all in Chester maiden in May. Wasn't up to the task in the Coventry but dominating these a more realistic proposition.

Form: 310

Flaccianello¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: R A Fahey| OR: 81

13/2

Cotai Glory filly who showed fair form in making a winning start in 5f maiden at Catterick a month ago, green early but picking up to good effect once her stamina kicked in. Brushed aside in the Albany but can get back on track at this sort of level, for all mark is not that generous.

Form: 10

(2)

Notta Nother¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 80

5/1

Continued race-by-race progress when landing 5-runner maiden at Goodwood a fortnight ago. Looks ready for 6f and there could be more to come in nurseries.

Form: 621

(4)

Innvincible Friend²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 80| D

8/1

Weakened out of if over this C&D having finished runner-up first couple of outings and back on track in a big way when making all at Chester. Was seen to pretty good effect that day, though.

Form: 2291

(3)

Je Ne Sais Quoi²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas| OR: 76| BF| D

9/2

Confirmed debut promise when landing the odds in 14-runner maiden at Thirsk (6f), suited by increase in trip. Lost a shoe when disappointing behind Innvincible Friend at Chester so well worth another chance.

Form: 315

(6)

Mullins Beach⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: David Egan| T: B R Millman| OR: 70| BF

33/1

Displayed plenty of zip when headed close home on third start at Leicester in May. Just a fair third turned out 3 days later and now goes up in distance for nursery debut.

Form: 3523

(9)

Tierney³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 70

28/1

€50,000 foal, 115,000 gns yearling, Mehmas filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including Spanish 7f winner El Sokhna. Not knocked about when fourth in a Chester novice but backward steps both starts since. 6f and switch to handicap company may enable her to get back on track.

Form: 466

(5)

Fly Pass¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: William Pyle⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 66

14/1

Failed to progress from debut when last of 8 in maiden at Newmarket (5f, good, 16/1) though looked unsuited by the track. Found only one too good at Chelmsford since upped to 6f.

Form: 382

Forecasts

Mayo Neighs (13/8), Je Ne Sais Quoi (9/2), Notta Nother (5/1), Flaccianello (13/2), Innvincible Friend (8/1), Fly Pass (14/1), Politico (18/1), Tierney (28/1), Mullins Beach (33/1)

MAYO NEIGHS emerged with a lot of credit pitched into the Windsor Castle, finishing second in his unfavoured side (ninth overall), and from a very fair opening mark, he may outclass these. 6f may bring about more from Notta Nother and he's feared most, though Je Ne Sais Quoi is likely to get back on track.
