11/2

Fitted in cheekpieces and showed enough benefit from his initial experience to win 7-runner minor event comfortably at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 2 weeks ago, staying on to lead last ½f. Fancied to go on improving now switched to turf.

10/3

Kodiac colt who offered little when seventh of 8 in minor event (10/1) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on debut in May, leading until 2f out. Should last longer this time now stepped up in trip.

7/2

Havana Grey colt who offered something to work on amidst greenness when fourth of 9 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, good to firm, 9/2) on debut 2 weeks ago, not unduly punished. He's open to improvement.

Sir Paul Ramsey¹⁸

11/2

Made plenty of appeal on paper and showed a fair level of ability amidst greenness when third of 9 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, good to soft, 14/1) on debut 18 days ago. Looks sure to improve with that under his belt.

Forecasts

Olympus Point (3/1), Berkshire Smudge (10/3), Seagolazo (7/2), Jorge Alvares (9/2), Cavallo Bay (11/2), Sir Paul Ramsey (11/2), Tawash (14/1), Toby's Time (33/1), It'sneverjustone (40/1), Claim To Glory (80/1)

Plenty in with a squeak but SIR PAUL RAMSEY showed a fair level of ability when third on debut at Doncaster last month and he can go a couple of places better with improvement on the cards. Charlie Appleby saddles a couple of likely candidates in Olympus Point and Cavallo Bay, so they head up the opposition, with Jorge Alvares another worth a mention now stepping up in trip.
