Jean Ribault^h1⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Kyle Strydom| T: D Menuisier

50/1

Foaled April 18. Ribchester colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 1¼m-15f winner Atzeco and useful 2-y-o 1m winner Blanchland. Dam unraced. Has a notable pedigree but merely hinted at ability on last month's debut at Ascot.

Form: 0

Magico^t¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: M Botti

6/1

Tongue strap on but displayed clear ability when fifth of 11 in novice event at Haydock (7f, good to firm) on debut 17 days ago, finishing with running left. Should have more to offer.

Form: 5

Burdett

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: J Channon

18/1

Foaled March 24. 49,000 gns foal, 25,000 gns yearling, Inns of Court colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Mytilda. Dam once-raced half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner (stayed 1m) Ivawood.

Crimson Spirit¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: D & C Kubler

7/1

Left debut run well behind when fourth of 12 in novice event at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) 18 days ago, running on. 7f will suit on that evidence. Respected.

Form: 64

(5)

Daymer Bay³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 72

4/1

Took another small step forward when second of 14 in novice event at Doncaster (7f, soft) 37 days ago. Likely to give it another good go.

Form: 342

(7)

Dufresne¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Tom Dascombe

50/1

Shaped quite well both starts, sixth of 11 in novice event at Haydock (7f, good to firm, 12/1) 17 days ago. Should progress.

Form: 56

(6)

Get Jiggy With It²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C Hills

8/11

Matched debut form when third of 13 in maiden at Goodwood (7f, soft) 25 days ago. That is the best form on offer and she's still not the finished article.

Form: 23

Forecasts

Get Jiggy With It (8/11), Daymer Bay (4/1), Magico (6/1), Crimson Spirit (7/1), Burdett (18/1), Dufresne (50/1), Jean Ribault (50/1)

CRIMSON SPIRIT stuck to his task well when fourth over 6f at Nottingham recently and with more to come over 7f he gets the tentative nod in what looks a trappy maiden. Get Jiggy With It brings the best form to the table and gets weight all round so she's an obvious threat, with Magico a potential improver.
