Hot To Dot¹⁶³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty

4/1

Massaat filly. Dam 6f winner. 16/1, made perfect start when winning 11-runner novice (16/1) at Pontefract (5f, heavy) on debut in April, staying on well. Absent since but conditions will hold no fears and she's open to improvement.

Form: 1

Kirkdale¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell

11/10

Built on promising debut effort when second of 7 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm, 6/4) 18 days ago, his drawn-out effort to master the winner telling on him late on. Represents a stable enjoying a fine season and there's better to come.

Form: 52

Troy Story³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁵⁾| T: A King

5/2

Ulysses colt who did better with his debut under his belt when fourth of 10 in maiden at Sandown (7f, good, 28/1) 33 days ago, keeping on without getting on terms. Very much the type to progress further and fancied to play a part with his rider taking off a handy 5 lb.

Form: 94

Genbu

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: Miss E C Lavelle

14/1

Foaled March 25. 20,000 gns foal, €35,000 yearling, Kameko colt. Half-brother to useful 7f winner Castle Harbour and winner up to 1m Carnival Rose. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 8.3f Mabait. Predominant jumps stable 0-7 with their 2-y-os on turf this season.

Say What You See⁶¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: L Bailey

50/1

Belardo gelding who is bred for longer trips and he shaped in kind when fourth of 7 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm) on debut 61 days ago, racing off the pace/in snatches before making steady headway. Entitled to know more this time.

Form: 4

(3)

Laurens Dream¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby

200/1

Twice-raced maiden. Again showed little when eighth of 9 in maiden (80/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip but she looks a longer-term project.

Form: 58

(2)

Maywedance¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Murtagh| T: Adrian Nicholls

12/1

Mehmas filly who showed benefit of her debut experience when second of 11 in novice at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 14 days ago, headway over 1f out and staying on. May do better still.

Form: 52

(1)

Eye On The Prize¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in novice at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 200/1) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Handicaps promise to be more her bag moving forward.

Form: 09

Forecasts

Kirkdale (11/10), Troy Story (5/2), Hot To Dot (4/1), Maywedance (12/1), Genbu (14/1), Say What You See (50/1), Eye On The Prize (125/1), Laurens Dream (200/1)

TROY STORY improved on his debut form when finishing an encouraging fourth in a Sandown maiden (7f) 4 weeks ago and, with the prospect of more to come, he earns the vote. Kirkdale ran well when runner-up on his latest start and is next best ahead of Hot To Dot who has been absent since making a winning debut at Pontefract back in the spring.
