Across Earth⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Botti| OR: 77

13/2

Made the frame in all 3 of his qualifying runs and took a step forward on handicap debut when runner-up at Southwell (12.1f) in March. Lesser effort at Sandown on his latest outing, but he's worth another chance back up in trip having been gelded.

Form: 34-220

Make Aclaim

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Grant Tuer

33/1

7,000 gns foal, Aclaim gelding. Half-brother to 7f-1m winner Belo Horizonte. Dam unraced half-sister to 6f-7f winner Van Ellis and 1¼m-1½m winner Soto Sizzler (both smart). Has a fairly useful standard to aim at making his first start.

Form:

(3)

My Dream World¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Gilligan| T: B Brookhouse

4/9

Some encouragement on debut and left that form well behind 6 months later when finding only the odds-on favourite too strong in minor event at this C&D (firm) 15 days ago. Leading contender with further improvement to come.

Form: 7-2

(2)

Catalan King

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A J Farragher| T: E Bethell

11/1

Cityscape gelding. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner who stayed 1½m, half-sister to smart 5.5f-1m winner Shediak. Yard going well so the market could be informative as he makes his debut.

Form:

(7)

Cloudside Rock²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: D M Simcock

66/1

Hinted at ability when sixth of 10 in maiden at Redcar (10f, soft) on debut 25 days ago, some headway 2f out before no further impression. He's likely to need more time, though.

Form: 6

(5)

Bayadere¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M L W Bell

20/1

Shaped with a bit of promise of her first outing when fourth of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, 1½ lengths behind the third-placed Edna E Mode. Could fare better with that first run behind her.

Form: 4

(1)

Edna E Mode¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Harry Charlton

7/1

Showed plenty to work on making her debut and backed up that effort when third in minor event at Lingfield (10f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago, despite seeming unsuited by the drop in trip. Remains capable of better.

Form: 43

Forecasts

My Dream World (4/9), Across Earth (13/2), Edna E Mode (7/1), Catalan King (11/1), Bayadere (20/1), Make Aclaim (33/1), Cloudside Rock (66/1)

MY DREAM WORLD was still green but showed much improved form when runner-up at this C&D on his return, pulling clear of the remainder, so he looks to hold leading claims of going one better. Across Earth had been going the right way prior to his latest start, so he's not written off having been gelded, with Edna E Mode completing the shortlist.
