Under The Sun²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 88| BF

8/11

Shaped well when runner-up first 2 starts. Not quite at that level when sixth of 14 in valuable maiden at York (7f, good to firm, 5/2) 3 weeks ago, but he could yet do better as he goes up in trip. Not taken lightly.

Form: 226

Show Biz Kid¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

9/2

Bred to be at least useful and made a promising start when fourth of 9 in maiden at Goodwood (1m, good to firm, 20/1) 10 days ago, best of the newcomers. Can take a step forward to open his account.

Form: 4

Wonder³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Hogan| T: J R Fanshawe

10/3

In need of the experience but showed ability when third of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 40/1) on debut 35 days ago. Open to improvement with this extra furlong to suit.

Form: 3

Escape The Grape

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Shepherd| T: T Ward

66/1

Foaled March 17. Cityscape colt. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1½m (stays 16.5f) Benaud. May just be better for the experience.

Forecasts

Under The Sun (8/11), Wonder (10/3), Show Biz Kid (9/2), Portsmouth (13/2), Move On In (12/1), Dreams Of Valor (22/1), Escape The Grape (66/1), Bradman (100/1)

SHOW BIZ KID shaped with plenty of encouragement when fourth in a Goodwood maiden 10 days ago, coming from much further back than the others in the frame, and he can progress from that first effort to get off the mark. Under The Sun is respected as he goes up in trip, while Wonder made a promising debut and completes the shortlist.
