Moon Man²⁰

9/4

Backed up his promising Newcastle debut effort when close second of 11 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) 20 days ago. Likely more to come and is the one to beat.

Form: 22

100/1

Twice-raced gelding. 250/1, seventh of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (5f) 16 days ago. Looks a longer-term prospect.

Spiritual Pursuit^p⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 72

5/1

Below form latest but had acquitted herself in all 4 starts previously and looks the type to bounce back.

Form: 2-2324

Thelma's Angel¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty

9/2

Once-raced filly. Third of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (5f, 66/1) on debut 16 days ago, not knocked about. May well do better.

Forecasts

Jungle Land (11/8), Moon Man (9/4), Thelma's Angel (9/2), Spiritual Pursuit (5/1), Bandello (12/1), Oriental Prince (100/1)

It's hard to get away from MOON MAN, who has posted fairly-useful form in both starts thus far and remains open to improvement. Karl Burke's debutant Jungle Land has an appealing pedigree and may provide the chief threat.
