Off time: 16:11 | Winning time: 1m 27.48s

(2)

Amsterdam²⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker

2/1

Offered something to work on having shown his inexperience when sixth of 12 in minor event (28/1) at Kempton (8f) on debut 6 months ago, not knocked about. Can do better again as a 3-y-o on that evidence.

Form: 6-

(8)

Capital Love¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: R G Hawker

250/1

Washington DC gelding. Half-brother to 1m-1¼m winner Norse Magic. 150/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at this course (6f, good) on debut 17 days ago, running green and always behind.

Form: 7

(11)

Drumstick²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

6/1

Land Force colt. Shaped as if needing the run when ninth of 12 in minor event (5/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 20 days ago. Represents very good yard and he's likely to improve.

Form: 9

(5)

Happy Chandler²⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Blake| BF

28/1

Modest form in 2 runs at 2 yrs. Off 9 months/gelded. First run for yard after leaving Owen Burrows. Others make more appeal.

Form: 83-

(1)

Harmoniser

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Charlie Bennett| T: R Varian

14/1

Sea The Moon gelding. Half-brother to 8.6f winner Yeoman. Dam 1m/8.3f winner, closely related to useful 7f-11f winner Tiffany. One to note on debut.

Form:

(6)

Jodhpur Blue

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: C Hills

5/1

Blue Point gelding. Dam, 13.3f winner, sister to 2000 Guineas third Gan Amhras and smart stayer Forever Now. Starts out with his yard amongst the winners and market confidence behind him would look significant with William Buick aboard.

Form:

(3)

King Of Codes¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: R M H Cowell

200/1

Twice-raced maiden. Last of 4 in minor event (125/1) at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago, left behind from 2f out. Can only be watched until tackling low-grade handicaps.

Form: 7-4

(7)

Perennial

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ross Coakley| T: E Walker

11/1

32,000 gns foal, 240,000 gns yearling, Masar gelding. Starts out in a winnable race representing yard very much amongst the winners so worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.

Form:

(4)

Sarmiento Power¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: R Varian

12/1

Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in minor event (18/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 11 days ago. Debut effort at Newbury previously certainly contained promise but he could be one for handicaps moving forward.

Form: 98

(9)

C'mon Pompey²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Rooke| T: J R Jenkins

80/1

Once-raced maiden. 250/1, fifteenth of 19 in minor event at Newbury (7f, good) on debut 25 days ago, not knocked about. This should reveal more but she can only be watched.

Form: 0

(10)

Ravishing Beauty²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Harry Charlton

10/3

Promising sort. 16/1, left debut form behind when fifth of 11 in maiden at Bath (8f, good) on return 27 days ago. Should still have more to offer yet and she's one to consider.

Form: 6-5

Forecasts

Amsterdam (2/1), Ravishing Beauty (10/3), Jodhpur Blue (5/1), Drumstick (6/1), Perennial (11/1), Sarmiento Power (12/1), Harmoniser (14/1), Happy Chandler (28/1), C'mon Pompey (80/1), King Of Codes (200/1), Capital Love (250/1)

Market support for one of the newcomers would need to be viewed positively but RAVISHING BEAUTY readily surpassed the form she showed on her only start as a 2-y-o when an encouraging fifth on return at Bath 4 weeks ago and gets the narrow vote with further progress anticipated. Jodhpur Blue is a debutant to note, with Ed Walker's pair Amsterdam and Perennial others to monitor.
