State Of Desire³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 78| BF

3/1

Looks one of his yard's lesser lights on early evidence, failing to quicken when fifth at Sandown last month. Gelded since and may be seen in a better light now handicapping.

Form: 325

Sea The Dream³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 77

13/2

Another sound effort ridden prominently when third of 8 in novice company at Newcastle a month ago. Opening mark looks just fair, though.

Form: 823

Charming Whisper²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 74

5/1

Totally different proposition when springing 50/1 surprise on second start at Yarmouth (7f). Ran at least as well under a penalty over the same C&D next time and 1m sure to suit from a very fair mark.

Form: 615

Monsieur Melee¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 73

10/3

Continued theme of race-by-progress when third of 8 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm, 9/2) 18 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Makes handicap debut. Should progress again back at 1m.

Form: 653

Doddie's Impact¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: C G Cox| OR: 73| C

10/1

Made winning start in 16-runner Brocklesby here in April but not been in same form for new yard since and has something to prove at present upped to 1m.

Form: 1805

Swift Salian⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 69

7/2

Tackled 1m for the first time and just about better than ever when second of 11 at Thirsk last week. 2 lb rise should leave him competitive.

Form: 66232

Forecasts

State Of Desire (3/1), Monsieur Melee (10/3), Swift Salian (7/2), Charming Whisper (5/1), Sea The Dream (13/2), Doddie's Impact (10/1)

CHARMING WHISPER has laid an excellent foundation for nurseries, and given his dam stayed well, 1m should be well within range. He's awarded the vote in a tightly-knit nursery, with Monsieur Melee and Swift Salian feared most.
