Groundsman

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey

9/1

Foaled February 5. €41,000 foal, 62,000 gns yearling, Acclamation colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 8.5f) out of useful 8.3f winner Say No Now. Yard's 2-y-os in excellent order.

Sensorium¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: Dylan Cunha

2/1

Showed ability on debut and pitched into the deep end, he fared as well as could be expected when 8 lengths fourteenth of 27 to Ain't Nobody in listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, firm, 100/1) 10 days ago. Back up in trip and this a much more realistic assignment.

Form: 30

The Flying Seagull¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: H Palmer| OR: 76

1/1

Just about most promising effort yet when second of 10 in novice event at this C&D (good to soft) 14 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Should be in the mix.

Form: 362

(7)

Mrbluesky¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Russell| T: R A Fahey

12/1

Stepped up on debut run when third of 14 in seller at York (6f, good to soft) 15 days ago, slowly away. Capable of a bigger performance when breaking on terms.

Form: 53

(10)

Son Of Astar³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: A W Carroll

50/1

Low-key debut and but sent off at 33/1, he showed more when fourth of 7 in novice event at Leicester (5f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 54

Uncle Bonni

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: G Boughey

14/1

Foaled May 9. 31,000 gns yearling, 30,000 gns 2-y-o, Mehmas gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including US winner up to 1m Goodthingstaketime and 1¼m winner Blueflagflyinghigh. Yard more than capable of readying one.

Misty Sky¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer

18/1

13/2, refused to race in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good) on debut 19 days ago. Will hopefully be on best behaviour next time.

Forecasts

The Flying Seagull (1/1), Sensorium (2/1), Anthropologist (7/1), Groundsman (9/1), Mrbluesky (12/1), Uncle Bonni (14/1), Misty Sky (18/1), Eva's Eyes (33/1), Blueandtangerine (50/1), Son Of Astar (50/1)

SENSORIUM fared as well as could be expected when mid-field in the Windsor Castle 10 days ago and is fancied to make the most of this drop in grade coupled with a plum draw. The Flying Seagull is the obvious threat on form, with Uncle Bonni and Groundsman newcomers for successful yards.
