Big Mojo

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: M Appleby

4/1

East Lea¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: Phillip Makin

250/1

Green on debut and shaped similarly when last of 9 in minor event at Redcar (5f, good to firm, 150/1) a fortnight ago. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 09

(8)

Epicurian Lad²¹

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

16/1

Hinted at ability on his first outing, but still in need of experience when sixth of 11 in maiden at York (6f, soft, 33/1) ago. Will be of more appeal in handicaps.

Form: 96

(11)

Fallen Soldier

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mathers| T: J & S Quinn

50/1

Foaled February 28. €18,000 foal, £85,000 yearling, Soldier's Call gelding. Dam 6.4f/7.4f winner. Watch for market clues with yard capable of readying a newcomer.

Gobsmacked^b1¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁵⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 64

20/1

Showed something like his debut form when fourth of 5 in maiden (14/1) at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. More needed with blinkers now added.

Form: 364

(2)

Hickton²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Raul Da Silva| T: K A Ryan

100/1

Went backwards from his first effort when last of 9 in maiden (9/1) at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft) 25 days ago, running green. Has something to find.

Form: 49

(10)

Managing Director¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Russell| T: B Smart

12/1

Bred to be useful and offered something to work on when fifth of 9 in minor event (11/2) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on debut 2 weeks ago. Open to improvement on the back of that first experience.

Form: 5

(3)

Monticristo Boy⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler

66/1

Showed bit more than first time up when eighth of 16 in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm, 20/1) 9 days ago, progress 2f out before weakening final 1f. Another step forward required as he drops in trip.

Form: 58

(1)

Rajeteriat²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: Tom Clover| OR: 80| BF

11/8

Has run to a fair level when placed on all 3 starts, finding only an improver too strong in 12-runner minor event at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 7/4) 22 days ago. Leading claims.

Form: 332

(5)

Sporting Life

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Fentiman| T: J & S Quinn

50/1

Foaled March 1. €35,000 foal, 32,000 gns yearling, Sergei Prokofiev colt. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 9.5f Monsieur Chevalier. One of two in the line-up for yard.

Form:

(12)

Uncle Don¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey

7/2

Shaped encouragingly amidst greenness when second of 5 in maiden at Ayr (6f, good to firm, 9/4) on debut 2 weeks ago, splitting a pair with experience. Could be thereabouts with progress to come.

Form: 2

(7)

Loving Angel⁷²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: G Boughey

25/1

Some appeal on paper but raced too freely when seventh of 8 in minor event at this C&D (good to soft, 5/1) on debut 72 days ago. Could fare better with her first outing behind her.

Form: 7

(13)

Pancake

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

25/1

Foaled March 30. Mehmas filly. Closely related to smart winner up to 1m Brunch and half-sister to useful 6f-7f winner Golden Voice. Market could be informative.

Forecasts

Rajeteriat (11/8), Uncle Don (7/2), Big Mojo (4/1), Managing Director (12/1), Epicurian Lad (16/1), Gobsmacked (20/1), Pancake (25/1), Loving Angel (25/1), Sporting Life (50/1), Fallen Soldier (50/1), Monticristo Boy (66/1), Hickton (100/1), East Lea (250/1)

RAJETERIAT sets the standard in this contest, beaten only by a progressive type at Sandown on his latest outing, so he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. He is taken to get the better of Uncle Don, who made a promising debut at Ayr a fortnight ago, with Big Mojo the pick of the newcomers.
