Terre De Vega²⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Garritty| T: W J Haggas

4/1

Won a 7.5f newcomers event at Saint-Cloud and fifth in a Toulouse listed race for Christophe Ferland last autumn. A potentially useful recruit for the William Haggas stable. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Form: 15-

Thunder Run¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: D Tudhope| T: K R Burke| D

2/9

Promising individual. Built on Wetherby debut second when easily going one better at Thirsk (1m, good) 15 days ago. Could be plenty more to come and the one to beat.

Form: 21

(9)

Leveche¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. 20¾ lengths seventh of 8 to reopposing Thunder Run in novice at Thirsk (1m, good) 15 days ago. Looks more one for the longer term.

Form: 87

(3)

Mix De Gris³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

80/1

Modest form at best in 2 starts 10 months apart.

Form: 6-7

(5)

Royal Duke²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith

Down the field in maidens at Musselburgh and this venue last month. Booked for another struggle.

Form: 77

Celestial Wave²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston

12/1

Left her Beverley debut behind when a close third of 5 in maiden at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) 24 days ago but more will be needed to get off the mark here.

Form: 73

Forecasts

Thunder Run (2/9), Terre De Vega (4/1), Barefoot Warrior (15/2), Celestial Wave (12/1), Mix De Gris (80/1), Bolton (100/1), Pennymuir (200/1), Leveche (250/1), Royal Duke (250/1)

It's highly likely this will develop into a straight fight between previous winners THUNDER RUN and Terre de Vega. It'll be interesting to see how strong the market vibes are behind the latter on his first outing for William Haggas after coming over from France but Karl Burke's representative looked potentially very useful when drawing well clear at Thirsk a couple of weeks ago and is preferred.
