1/1

Disappointed bearing in mind debut promise but was seemingly on the wrong part of the track when fifth of 10 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 6/5) when last seen 17 months ago. First run for yard after leaving G. M. Lyons (45,000 gns) and has been gelded. Leading claims.

100/1

Well held in maiden/novice at Kempton in recent weeks. Low-grade handicaps down the line will be more suitable.

Ran below form switched to a handicap when fifth of 8 in nursery (18/1) at this C&D 3 months ago. Can bounce back in a weak-looking contest.

6/1

Showed a bit more than on debut despite still looking very green when fourth of 7 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 15/2) 19 days ago, not knocked about. Hooded for 1st time. May well do better.

Forecasts

New Image (1/1), Jungle Jim (11/4), Miss Stormy Night (6/1), Hinitsa Bay (10/1), Gabriae (12/1), Five Winds (14/1), Damisa (16/1), Faris Flyer (25/1), Payforanother Daay (100/1)

This can go the way of NEW IMAGE, who bumped into a subsequent Royal Ascot winner on debut back in summer 2022 and with his next start easy to put a line through, David O'Meara's new recruit is fancied to make light of a 17-month absence. Jungle Jim has more experience than most so he can provide most resistance, with Miss Stormy Night rounding off the shortlist.
