Almanjoor¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Ryan Sexton| T: R A Fahey

14/1

Sands Of Mali colt. Shaped better than first time up when fourth at Doncaster (5f) in May but made hard work of things when third of 4 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Steps up further in trip now.

Form: 043

Bank On Kent³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh| T: P D Evans

40/1

Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 14 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good, 28/1) 30 days ago, making little impression. Up in trip now and more needed.

Dukes Of Haather²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: A Keatley

1/1

Displayed promise first 2 starts and improved as expected in line with step up in trip when third of 12 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good, 16/1) 28 days ago, headed under 2f out and keeping on. Even longer trip here promises to suit on that evidence and he's one to consider from handy draw.

Invincible Spirit filly. 12/1, last of 10 in maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) on debut 11 days ago, weakening under 2f out. Up in trip.

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: A Mullen| T: H Palmer

20/1

Modest filly. 16/1, sixth of 7 in seller at Musselburgh (5f, good) 13 days ago, some headway under pressure halfway before weakening. Significantly up in trip here but she may prove vulnerable to a few.

Magic Topissima

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: S De Sousa| T: Grant Tuer

22/1

Foaled February 26. €16,000 yearling, Yafta filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 8.5f winner Ilyouchkine and 7f winner Magic Perseverance, both in France. Betting should prove an informative guide on debut.

Manila Thriller²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Beasley| T: J Channon

13/2

Foaled April 22. Rumble Inthejungle filly. Very green but passed a few late on without threatening when seventh of 11 in minor event (9/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. This should reveal more.

Form: 7

Oasis Sunrise⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: K P De Foy

13/2

€20,000 yearling, Bated Breath filly. 9/1, showed a bit when fourth of 11 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut 8 days ago. Open to improvement and worth considering eased in grade.

Form: 4

(12)

Shielas Well

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Grant Tuer

33/1

Foaled March 12. €40,000 foal, 20,000 gns yearling, Saxon Warrior filly. Dam unraced, sister to smart 1m-12.3f winner Star Lahib. Betting likely to prove a good guide on debut. Yard also saddle Magic Topissima.

Whiskey Glasses¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Nicola Currie| T: Ollie Sangster

13/2

Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 10 in Woodcote Stakes at Epsom (6f, soft) 14 days ago, left behind over 1f out. Debut effort at Kempton certainly wasn't devoid of promise and return to much calmer waters a plus now.

Form: 68

Forecasts

Dukes Of Haather (1/1), Manila Thriller (13/2), Oasis Sunrise (13/2), Whiskey Glasses (13/2), Almanjoor (14/1), Camden Flyer (16/1), Far Above Mary (20/1), Magic Topissima (22/1), Shielas Well (33/1), Elladora Black (33/1), Bank On Kent (40/1), Eye Puzzle (50/1)

DUKES OF HAATHER improved as expected in line with the step up in trip when third at Newmarket (6f) and, with this even longer trip promising to be within range on that evidence, he can get off the mark at the fourth attempt. Oasis Sunrise and Whiskey Glasses are others to consider, with Almanjoor not one to be giving up on just yet.
