Adaay With Michael¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby

66/1

Once-raced gelding. 18/1, offered little when fifth of 6 in maiden at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) on debut 16 days ago, badly outpaced and always behind. Can only be watched.

Form: 5

Whogoesthere¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 71

13/2

Lightly-raced gelding. 2/1, bit below form fifth of 11 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Plenty of experience to call upon however, and claims of hitting the frame on pick of his form.

Form: 3345

(5)

Curious Rover¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: K Scott

8/11

The Irish Rover colt who built on his promising debut effort when runner-up in 7-runner Ayr maiden (6f) 18 days ago, travelling well and headed well inside final 1f. Looks a big player on that evidence.

Form: 32

(7)

Mereside Madness¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron

16/1

Twice-raced colt. 80/1, showed much more than on debut when fourth of 10 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Still, nurseries likely to be more his bag in due course.

Form: 04

(3)

Mist Rollin In²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Murtagh| T: D Carroll

25/1

Once-raced colt. 66/1, last of 12 in minor event at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) on debut 20 days ago. Another who can only be watched.

Form: 0

(6)

Nasneen

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: P & O Cole

4/1

Foaled March 6. 19,000 gns yearling, Territories filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Lucy Lulu and 2-y-o 7f winner Lufu. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner. Yard 1-15 with juveniles on turf so far this term. She wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to feature on debut.

Blufferonthebus²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Craig Lidster

66/1

Twice-raced filly. 17/2, eighth of 9 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Significantly back down in trip.

Form: 68

(8)

Mia Toretto¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara

7/1

Matched debut form when second in 10-runner Beverley maiden (5f) 2 weeks ago. However, she needs to pull out more if she's to open her account here.

Form: 32

Forecasts

Curious Rover (8/11), Nasneen (4/1), Whogoesthere (13/2), Miss Woo Woo (13/2), Mia Toretto (7/1), Mereside Madness (16/1), Mist Rollin In (25/1), Blufferonthebus (66/1), Adaay With Michael (66/1)

CURIOUS ROVER built on the promise of his debut when finishing runner-up in an Ayr maiden 18 days ago and a repeat may well be enough to see him get off the mark here. Whogoesthere was a shade underwhelming at Beverley last time but can feature on the pick of his efforts. Newcomer Nasneen and Mia Toretto are others fancied to be thereabouts.
