Evening Saigon¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: D Egan| T: H Al Jehani| OR: 84| BF

11/8

2/1, won 6-runner minor event for Michael O'Callaghan at Tipperary (5f, heavy) on debut. Since changed hands (bought by Wathnan Racing) and shaped with encouragement at Musselburgh. Looks the one to beat.

Form: 13

Invictus Gold²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: N Callan| T: Tom Clover| D

2/1

Related to winners and left debut form well behind when opening his account despite a slow start at Southwell last month. Further improvement would give him an excellent chance.

Form: 61

Beltadaay

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: A J Farragher| T: James Horton

25/1

Foaled March 2. 16,000 gns yearling, Adaay colt. Brother to 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Lory Di Tony and half-brother to 6f-1m winner Huddle and useful winner up to 6.5f Purest Time. Dam unraced. Bred to have enough speed and can't be completely ruled out first time out.

Cider Bob²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead

100/1

Bred to have plenty of speed but didn't show any of it at Redcar first time out. Others make more appeal.

Hajes

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R Coakley| T: S & E Crisford

7/2

Foaled April 13. 42,000 gns foal, 140,000 gns yearling, Havana Grey colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 6f winner Ingleby Ivy and 7f winner Shoot The Moon. Looks the pick of the debutants.

Hippocratic Oath

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: B J Meehan

10/1

Foaled February 27. 28,000 gns foal, £35,000 yearling, Zoustar gelding. Half-brother to useful 5f winner Kendall Roy. Yard is capable of readying a newcomer.

Master Zack²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Martin Dunne

200/1

Doesn't make much appeal on pedigree and there was little encouragement to be gleaned from his debut at Windsor 3 weeks ago.

Form: 9

Miakoda⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

25/1

Cost six figures as a yearling but is yet to justify it in two runs. May be more of a nursery type now.

Form: 09

Comedy Star¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: J F Egan| T: Darryll Holland

200/1

Related to a winner but offered little over C&D on debut. Hard to fancy.

Form: 0

Dottie Diamond⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Marco Ghiani| T: W Stone

125/1

Has showed nothing in two runs to date and looks firmly up against it.

Forecasts

Evening Saigon (11/8), Invictus Gold (2/1), Hajes (7/2), Hippocratic Oath (10/1), Earthview (12/1), Miakoda (25/1), Beltadaay (25/1), Cider Bob (100/1), Dottie Diamond (125/1), Master Zack (200/1), Comedy Star (200/1)

EVENING SAIGON looked potentially useful when winning on debut and didn't shape badly on his first outing for new connections last time, so he's worth another chance to double his tally. Invictus Gold is the danger on form and Hajes is the most appealing newcomer.
