Letsbefrank¹²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie

25/1

Frankel gelding, half-brother to top-class Fascinating Rock. Third of 6 in minor event (13/2) at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) on debut, slowly away. Off 126 days. Down in trip. Left John Butler 35,000 gns in October. Should improve.

Form: 3-

(5)

Musical Masquerade¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby

200/1

Unplaced in pair of bumpers and offered little on Flat debut when seventh of 9 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f) 12 days ago.

Form: 7

(11)

Parthenopaeus¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey

6/1

Pivotal gelding. 14/1, second of 9 in minor event at this course (7.1f) on debut 13 days ago, faring best of those held up. Should have more to offer.

Form: 2

(3)

Sycamore Gap¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: A Mullen| T: R Menzies

125/1

Mid-field in a bumper and finished only seventh of 9 in minor event at this course (7.1f, 40/1) on flat debut 13 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 7

(8)

Ashkhabad²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby

200/1

Down the field in pair of bumpers. Eighth of 9 in minor event (150/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on flat debut 28 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 8

(6)

Tournelle¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| C

15/8

Promising individual. 6/4, won 9-runner maiden at this course readily (7.1f) on debut 19 days ago, travelling fluently. Sets a good standard on that effort.

Form: 1

(10)

Coramento⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: R Craggs

200/1

Portamento gelding. Green when eighth of 10 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f, 250/1) on debut 54 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 8-

(9)

Ideal Dragon¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Sean Kirrane| T: J J Davies

250/1

Dragon Dancer colt. Too green to show anything when eighth of 9 in minor event at this course (7.1f, 125/1) on debut 13 days ago. Impossible to fancy.

Form: 8

(7)

Las Ramblas

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Raul Da Silva| T: R Varian

10/3

250,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Closely related to 1¼m winner Gumriyah and half-brother to several winners, including very smart winner up to 1¼m Legatissimo. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Form:

(4)

Waleefy⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: A J Farragher| T: W J Haggas| BF

6/4

Night of Thunder half-brother to Baaeed and Hukum. Shaped well in a muddling contest when third of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut 43 days ago. Open to plenty of improvement.

Form: 3-

(1)

Little Venice¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler

125/1

Cityscape filly. 100/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at this C&D on debut 16 days ago. Will be of more interest in handicaps.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Waleefy (6/4), Tournelle (15/8), Las Ramblas (10/3), Parthenopaeus (6/1), Letsbefrank (25/1), Sycamore Gap (125/1), Little Venice (125/1), Musical Masquerade (200/1), Ashkhabad (200/1), Coramento (200/1), Ideal Dragon (250/1)

WALEEFY is from an outstanding family and showed plenty of ability in a stop-start contest at Lingfield on debut, so he's taken to make his second start a winning one. Tournelle made a fine start to her career when landing a 7f maiden here last month and merits plenty of respect under a penalty, whilst Juddmonte-newcomer Las Ramblas also makes appeal.
