16/1

Twice-raced gelding. Fifth of 6 in maiden at Catterick (6f, good to firm, 18/1) 6 days ago, not knocked about. Likely to be of more interest when tackling nurseries.

Form: 95

(2)

Bungle Reigns⁴⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: T Coyle & K Wood

14/1

Bungle Inthejungle gelding. 10/1, went backwards from the minor promise showed on debut when tenth of 14 in Rous seller at York (6f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Likely to come up short switched to maiden company.

(8)

Cugini⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 72

5/2

Lightly-raced gelding. Creditable second of 6 in maiden at Catterick (6f, good to firm, 11/1) 6 days ago, sticking to task. A repeat should him thereabouts dropped down to the minimum trip.

10/1

Once-raced filly. 33/1, third of 8 in maiden at Catterick (5f, good to soft) on debut 20 days ago, running green early before staying on. Likely to improve.

Form: 3

(9)

Forager¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: S Pearce

9/4

Promising sort. 11/4, stepped up on her debut effort when second of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f) 14 days ago. Again impressed with the way she travelled then and drop back to 5f here could see her do better still. Big player.

Form: 52

(6)

Lunar Force⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby

7/2

Thrice-raced filly. 7/1, third of 6 in maiden at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 6 days ago, not quicken last ½f. Claims of hitting the frame again returned to the minimum trip.

Form: 423

(3)

Pure Liberty⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Laura Pearson| T: S C Williams

80/1

Twice-raced filly. 50/1, tenth of 11 in novice at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Low-grade nurseries entitled to be more her bag moving forward.

Form: 60

Forecasts

Forager (9/4), Cugini (5/2), Lunar Force (7/2), Atherstone Beau (10/1), Bungle Reigns (14/1), Acrisius (16/1), Mister Sky Blue (18/1), Pure Liberty (80/1), Focus On Zaam (125/1)

Having shaped up well on debut at Yarmouth, FORAGER again shaped with definite promise (notably travelled well) when runner-up behind a promising newcomer at Kempton 2 weeks ago. Well worth a crack at the minimum trip on that evidence, she looks to hold solid claims with the prospect of more to come. Atherstone Beau, Cugini and Lunar Force head up the dangers.
