Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 75

6/1

Overcame a bad draw when making second start a winning one at Beverley in May. Safely held in a listed race here next time but back on track when fifth in the Hilary Needler returned to Beverley, front rank until fading close home. On the downside, that effort hasn't helped in terms of opening mark.

Triple Charged²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 75

18/1

Signs of ability on first 2 starts but he was out with the washing in a Hamilton maiden last time and needs a big step forward now pitched into a nursery.

Form: 437

Alashos¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton| OR: 75| D

10/3

Left debut effort well behind when going close in a Brighton maiden last month. Put his experience to good use when going one better at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) recently and while further progress will be needed if he's to follow up here, that is by no means out of the question.

Tuscan Point^p1²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 72

11/1

Too green on debut but much better when fifth of 11 in novice at this course (5f, good) in May. However, failed to build on that upped to this trip back here last month and Death Or Glory could be the pick of the yard's 3 runners. Cheekpieces applied.

Form: 558

Eighteen Fourteen²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 71| D

14/1

Failed to build on Pontefract debut promise when down the field at the same course on his penultimate start. However, he took a step firmly back in the right direction when gamely landing a Redcar novice (6f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Opening mark fair enough and he merits respect.

Form: 301

Oakley Boy¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 71| D

16/1

Much sharper second time out when accounting for 10 rivals in a 6f Chelmsford maiden last month. By no means disgraced under a penalty in what looked a decent novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) next time and he's very much of interest now pitched into a nursery.

Form: 816

Death Or Glory¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Russell| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

28/1

Form of debut second at Hamilton isn't working out particularly well but it was an encouraging effort all the same, and he again showed promise when a couple of places behind The Flying Seagull in a Class 2 Chester novice. No impact tried on the AW recently but he's not one to write off just yet.

Form: 247

Sir Palamedes²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Davies| T: C Fellowes| OR: 69

11/1

Has performed to a similar level on each of his 3 starts to date and while he should pick up a race before long, a good dose of improvement will be needed if he's to emerge on top here.

Form: 445

Atomic Mass¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 67

4/1

Shaped with plenty of promise first time out when fifth in a 14-runner C&D novice at the end of May. Fair to say that he has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, but that debut form is working out very well indeed and he could be about to step up now switched to a nursery.

Form: 575

East Tyrone⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 67

16/1

Clear of the rest when second in a 4-runner Doncaster maiden on debut, but the pair that finished behind him there haven't done much for the form since (neither has the winner in truth) and, in any case, he has failed to progress in 2 subsequent starts. Yard has landed this race twice since 2016.

Form: 264

Mrbluesky¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

9/1

Stepped up on debut run when third of 14 in a C&D seller (good to soft), but he was never in the hunt in Chester maiden won by The Flying Seagull 15 days later.

Form: 537

Go On Rosie²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 63

33/1

Newcastle debut third in March was a fair effort, but improvement hasn't been forthcoming since and she's another who needs to step up now tried in a nursery.

Form: 3365

Perfidia¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62

16/1

Didn't show a great deal on his first 2 starts but now appears to be on the right path having finished third of 16 in a 6f Nottingham maiden (good to firm) 16 days ago. Further progress likely and he's an appealing candidate for a yard that has saddled the winner of this nursery twice since 2012.

Forecasts

Alashos (10/3), The Flying Seagull (7/2), Atomic Mass (4/1), Call Me Harswell (6/1), Mrbluesky (9/1), Sir Palamedes (11/1), Tuscan Point (11/1), Eighteen Fourteen (14/1), East Tyrone (16/1), Oakley Boy (16/1), Perfidia (16/1), Triple Charged (18/1), Death Or Glory (28/1), Go On Rosie (33/1)

Given how well the form of his debut fifth over C&D in May is working out, ATOMIC MASS is seriously appealing now venturing down the nursery path off what could prove to be a lenient opening mark. He has admittedly failed to build on that initial promise in two subsequent starts, but time is still very much on his side. There are dangers aplenty, with Perfidia feared most ahead of Alashos, Eighteen Fourteen and Oakley Boy, while The Flying Seagull would have a huge chance if lining up for this.
