7/2

Without a win in nurseries, but after 12 weeks off shaped better than result when sixth of 9 (4/1) at Kempton (6f) 16 days ago, caught wide. Respected with his recent run behind him.

20/1

Has shown improved form last 2 starts, battling well to get off the mark in 9-runner novice (25/1) at Newcastle (5f) 11 days ago. Can give another good account now that he's up and running.

Backspin¹⁸⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes

6/4

Some encouragement amidst his inexperience when ninth of 12 in novice at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 8/1) on debut, finishing with running left having been very slowly away. Capable of better after 6 months off.

Form: 9

Foaled April 5. 65,000 gns yearling, Coulsty colt. Brother to useful 5f/6f winner Coulthard and half-brother to 5f winner Mna Na Mhi. Dam unraced. Watch for market clues.

5/2

Back on all-weather, took a step forward making nursery debut when second of 12 at this C&D (8/1) a week ago. Could be ready to go one better.

12/1

Foaled March 5. 40,000 gns yearling, Hello Youmzain colt. Dam, 5f winner (including at 2 yrs), out of once-raced half-sister to smart 8.6f-1¼m winner Gulf Express. One to note on debut.

Writteninthestars⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Luke Catton⁽³⁾| T: R M H Cowell

250/1

Hasn't offered much in a pair of maidens 6 months apart, well-beaten eighth of 10 at this C&D (33/1) 48 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 98

Cemlyn²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Harrison Shaw| T: E Bethell

18/1

Made some appeal on paper and showed promise when fourth of 7 in maiden (6/1) at Newcastle (6f) on debut 27 days ago. Enters calculations with improvement to come.

80/1

Down the field on debut and fared no better after 6 months off when last of 4 in novice at Nottingham (5f, soft, 7/4) 44 days ago. Major improvement required.

Form: 74

250/1

Foaled April 4. £3,500 yearling, Havana Gold filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 15f Hockney. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on debut.

Forecasts

Backspin (6/4), Farandaway (5/2), Blinky (7/2), Forager (6/1), Hello Zaman (12/1), Coul Angel (16/1), Cemlyn (18/1), Captain Kinsella (20/1), Highfield Blue (80/1), Writteninthestars (250/1), Runnindown A Dream (250/1)

FARANDAWAY has finished runner-up all 4 starts, but he showed improved form when beaten only by a fellow nursery debutant at this C&D a week ago, so he is taken to open his account this time around. Blinky wasn't seen to best effect after a break last time and could be the main danger, while Cemlyn is open to improvement after her promising debut.
