Arlecchino's Rex¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: George Rooke| T: M D I Usher

50/1

Twice-raced colt. Fourth of 9 in maiden (66/1) at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Makes no appeal.

Form: 04

Diomed Duke⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S C Williams

9/2

Once-raced gelding. 22/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut 50 days ago. May do better with the benefit of experience.

Form: 5

Far Above The Law⁶⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 72

5/4

Thrice-raced gelding. 9/1, third of 9 in maiden at Doncaster (5f, firm) 69 days ago. Up in trip. Sets the standard, but it's not all that high, and he's potentially vulnerable.

Form: 463

(7)

Silca Bay²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

7/2

Once-raced gelding. 15/2, fourth of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) on debut 24 days ago. Stable's runners can improve markedly from first run and he's worth a chance to get off the mark in a thin race.

Form: 4

(5)

Power Of Twins⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon

12/1

Twice-raced filly. 66/1, sixth of 15 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 9 days ago, needing stiffer test.

Form: 76

(8)

Up The Budget

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: Jack Jones

12/1

Foaled March 19. €16,000 yearling, Dandy Man filly. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to smart 1½m-1¾m winner Melo Melo. One to be interested in first time out.

Forecasts

Far Above The Law (5/4), Silca Bay (7/2), Diomed Duke (9/2), Bob Mali (9/2), Cuban Star (10/1), Power Of Twins (12/1), Up The Budget (12/1), Zouzenda (33/1), Arlecchino's Rex (50/1), Token Gesture (50/1)

SILCA BAY showed encouragement first time out and may take a significant step forward so he's preferred to Far Above The Law, who actually has the best form to date but he's vulnerable to improvers or a reasonable newcomer.
