Shaped well in a warm race on debut and duly landed the odds in a maiden at Pontefract (1m, good) 3 months later. Up in trip. One of several in this line-up with the potential for better.

Samra Star¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: R Hughes

17/2

Promise on 7f Wolverhampton debut and left that bare form well behind when winning over 9.5f there a month later. Should have more to offer now switching to turf under Buick.

Form: 41

Stepped up on last summer's debut when 2½ lengths second of 12 to Retracement in maiden at Pontefract (1m, good, 7/2) 37 days ago, clear of rest. Up in trip. Should have more to offer.

Hillbridge^h1⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 78

9/1

Fair form when third in 1¼m Ascot maiden in May and possibly failed to stay 1½m when only sixth on soft turf at Lingfield 3 weeks later. Given time since. Sports a hood on return. Still early days.

Forecasts

Retracement (9/4), Sir Lowry's Pass (7/2), Forest Gate (7/1), Radwan (17/2), Samra Star (17/2), Hillbridge (9/1), Urban Lion (11/1), Wind River (20/1), Shimmering Spin (22/1), Tex (66/1), Castle Peak (125/1)

Plenty of potential in this novice. FOREST GATE receives weight from the 4 previous winners in this line-up and might be able to take advantage after 2 promising placed efforts this summer. Radwan and Retracement may prove the best of those winners.
