El Madar³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 77

6/1

Thrice-raced colt. Improved from debut when fourth at Salisbury last month and ran to a similar level when fourth of 9 in novice at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again.

Form: 644

Hunky Dory¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: E Walker

7/2

Posted fair fifth of 12 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good, 5/1) on debut 16 days ago and should have learnt plenty from that experience. Respected.

Form: 5

Skibo¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

11/4

Promising sort who was doing all his best work late on when third of 12 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 16 days ago. Likely more to come and holds solid claims.

Form: 3

(3)

Telecommunication¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: M L W Bell

33/1

No real impact on debut in a Newmarket maiden 16 days ago and is likely to need more time.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Way Of Stars (2/1), Skibo (11/4), Hunky Dory (7/2), Too Soon (7/2), Special Ghaiyyath (5/1), El Madar (6/1), Gazeley (9/1), Prince Of Joy (16/1), Telecommunication (33/1)

TOO SOON caught the eye staying on late here on debut here earlier this month and will appreciate this longer trip. He can open his account. Skibo and Hunky Dory are also open to improvement and are feared most.
