Blinky¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker

Carrados

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: A Watson

5/4

Foaled March 30. €52,000 foal, £360,000 2-y-o. Half-brother to 7f/7.2f winner New Hill. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 6.5f Campanelle. Yard no stranger to success first-time-out with 2-y-os and he's one to note.

Gobsmacked¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| BF

18/1

Once-raced maiden. Third of 5 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good, 9/4) on debut 11 days ago. May well do better with that experience to draw upon here.

Form: 3

(7)

Royal Accord²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes

33/1

Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in minor event at Goodwood (5f, heavy, 20/1) 25 days ago. Probably more one for nurseries in due course.

Form: 55

(3)

Simply Blue¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane

7/2

Promising type. 10/1, seventh of 9 in maiden at Chester (6.1f, good) on debut 19 days ago, not clear run. Almost certainly capable of a good deal better and he's on the shortlist.

Form: 7

(4)

Son Of Astar³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: A W Carroll

33/1

Once-raced maiden. 18/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at this C&D (heavy) on debut 31 days ago, missing break. Others preferred.

Form: 5

(6)

Tolerance

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey

7/2

£88,000 yearling, £145,000 2-y-o. Half-brother to 5f winner Navajo Dawn and dam was a 2-y-o 5f winner, herself a half-sister to useful 11f/1½m winner Without A Trace. Positive jockey booking and he needs a close look in the betting.

Carrados (5/4), Simply Blue (7/2), Tolerance (7/2), Blinky (13/2), Gobsmacked (18/1), Son Of Astar (33/1), Royal Accord (33/1)

Newcomers TOLERANCE and Carrados both make plenty of appeal on paper and it would be no surprise were one of them to prove equal to the task. The latter was the more pricey of the two but Tolerance is bred to make a 2-y-o and he could have the edge on this occasion. Simply Blue is the pick of those with experience.
