Juantorena³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 80

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 6/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Sandown (7f, soft) 32 days ago. Looks vulnerable on the back of that rather disappointing display.

Form: 438

(1)

Mai Dubai¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes

5/1

Twice-raced maiden. Third of 11 in minor event (9/1) at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago. Each-way chance if he manages to build on that improved effort.

Form: 73

(9)

Northern Cracksman¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison

125/1

Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in maiden (100/1) at Pontefract (6f, good) on debut 19 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 8

(2)

Superposition¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: E A L Dunlop

11/10

Promising individual. Fifth of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 14/1) on debut 17 days ago. Entitled to come on for that and he's a must for the shortlist.

Form: 5

(10)

The Crafty Mole

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

22/1

Foaled March 18. €16,000 yearling, Study of Man gelding. Dam 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Yard can ready a newcomer and he's worth a second look in the betting.

Tribal Rhythm²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton| BF

4/1

Twice-raced maiden. Third of 8 in minor event at Beverley (7.4f, soft, 6/5) 27 days ago. Likely to pick up a race sooner rather than later.

Form: 43

(5)

Almudena¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: Sir Mark Prescott

33/1

Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in minor event (40/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 12 days ago. That experience won't be wasted on her but she's probably more one for the longer term.

Form: 6

(3)

Roman Secret²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| BF

20/1

Twice-raced maiden. 13/8, third of 7 in minor event at Ayr (7.2f, good) 21 days ago, needing stiffer test. Needs to take a step forward here.

Form: 23

Forecasts

Superposition (11/10), Tribal Rhythm (4/1), Juantorena (4/1), Mai Dubai (5/1), Spaceport (7/1), Rich Harry (10/1), Formidable Force (14/1), Roman Secret (20/1), The Crafty Mole (22/1), Almudena (33/1), Northern Cracksman (125/1)

Following an encouraging debut at Newmarket earlier this month, SUPERPOSITION looks the way to go. The Sea The Stars colt holds an entry in the Royal Lodge and while it remains to be seen if he'll prove good enough to take his chance in that Group 2 contest. a race of this nature should be well within his grasp. Tribal Rhythm is taken to follow the selection home, with Mai Dubai best of the rest.
