Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: Raphael Freire| BF

9/4

Cotai Glory colt who produced a promising first effort when keeping on for third on debut in a Brighton maiden (5.3f) last month. Unable to build on that when sixth of 12 in novice (13/8) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago but he still appeals as a likely player here.

Form: 36

7/1

Foaled February 9. Rumble Inthejungle gelding. Didn't go unfancied and showed ability when second of 4 in maiden at this course (5f, firm, 3/1) on debut 9 days ago. Possibilities again with a repeat.

Malinga The Slinga²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Tom Dascombe

125/1

€32,000 Sands of Mali colt. Green and offered little when eleventh of 12 in novice at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 40/1) on debut 20 days ago, missing break and soon detached.

10/1

Foaled March 23. €35,000 yearling, Mehmas colt. Half-brother to smart winner up to 1¼m Qaader (won on debut). Dam maiden who stayed 1m. Yard no stranger to success with juveniles and he's of interest starting out in a winnable race.

25/1

Once-raced colt. 18/1, third of 4 in maiden at this course (5f, firm) on debut 9 days ago, seemingly learning as race wore on. May do better with that run behind him.

Form: 3

Mehmas Air Force¹⁸

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

5/6

Once-raced filly. Fifth of 15 in maiden (28/1) at Leicester (5f, good to firm) on debut 18 days ago, running on without being knocked about. Very much the type to improve and she's one to consider.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Mehmas Air Force (5/6), Buenos Dias (9/4), Eightthreeone (7/1), Squadron Leader (10/1), Dandy Orton (10/1), Touchwoodnwhistle (25/1), Malinga The Slinga (125/1)

Those with experience set only a fair standard and it may pay to side with a newcomer in the shape of SQUADRON LEADER. He appeals as a likely type on paper for a stable no stranger to success with juveniles and confidence behind him in the market would look significant. Mehmas Air Force and Buenos Dias rate next best. Eightthreeone is another with claims.
