Hector^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker

16/1

50/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, ran to a fair level on the back of a mammoth near 3-year absence on from his debut when second of 7 in maiden at this C&D (good to soft) 2 weeks ago. Task is now building on that.

Form: 7/2

(3)

Federal Envoy^p1⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D Tudhope| T: K R Burke| BF

11/2

Appealed on paper and made a winning start in 12-runner maiden at Southwell (7.1f) in March. May well have gone close to defying a penalty if he'd kept straight on turf debut when fifth at Pontefract (6f, heavy) just under 6 weeks ago and no surprise to see the cheekpieces go on.

Form: 15

Edenmore Lad^t³²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: M Murphy & M KeadyWS

300/1

33/1

Run best excused when last of 8 in minor event (10/3) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 2 weeks ago, keeping on when no room final 1f. This run should reveal more.

Form: 29-8

15/8

Much improved from debut when second of 9 in maiden at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft, 18/1) 9 days ago. Open to further improvement and every chance he can go one better.

Form: 02

Northfield Lake¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Rooke| T: R J Smith

150/1

80/1, showed a bit more than on debut when fourth of 9 in maiden at Kempton (7f) in January, better placed than most. Another step forward needed (has been gelded).

Form: 4-4

8/1

Hinted at ability amidst greenness when fifth of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 7/2) on debut 6 months ago, late headway. Should progress.

Form: 5-

Cuban Melody³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

6/4

11/8, ran to a similar level as on debut when third of 5 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f) 32 days ago. Expected to be bang there switched to turf.

Forecasts

Cuban Melody (6/4), Mono River (15/8), Federal Envoy (11/2), Arthur Rose (8/1), Hector (16/1), Dazitoo (16/1), Agent Mayfair (20/1), Laguna Boy (22/1), Jersey Rocs (33/1), Thundering Breeze (66/1), Filly's Last Lady (100/1), Green Tax (125/1), Northfield Lake (150/1), Tronido (200/1), Edenmore Lad (300/1)

MONO RIVER took an almighty step forward from his debut effort when finding a short-priced favourite too strong at Yarmouth earlier this month and with more to come, William Haggas' charge can make it third time lucky. Cuban Melody has shaped with plenty of promise in both runs so far so she heads up the dangers, with Federal Envoy and Hector both worth keeping an eye on, too.
