U Turn¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby

3/1

Land Force colt who showed a bit amidst greenness when sixth on debut in a Pontefract novice (5f) in April. Failed to match that when seventh of 13 in maiden (28/1) at Doncaster (5f, firm) 11 days ago but drop in to claiming company can help and he has a handy draw to work from.

Head For Freedom¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby

9/4

Speedily-bred sort who faded out of things when seventh of 11 in novice at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 15 days ago. Connections quickly opt for a drop in grade.

Form: 7

(5)

Gillali Lass¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara

13/2

Cotai Glory filly who failed to build on the promise displayed when fourth in a C&D maiden on debut when fifth of 10 in maiden (5/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 16 days ago. Still, she's certainly in with a shout down in class, with the return to this stiffer track a likely plus.

Form: 45

Twist Or Stick¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: T Eaves| T: Alice Haynes

15/2

Foaled March 13. £18,000 2-y-o, Mehmas filly. Dam 2-y-o 6f-7.4f winner. 7/1, showed a bit when fifth of 10 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on debut 16 days ago. Needs to take a step forward from that if she's to feature.

Form: 5

Spartacus Warrior¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: T Coyle & K Wood

16/1

A'ali gelding. Dam, winner up to 7f (2-y-o 5f winner). Ran to just a poor level when ninth on debut at Thirsk (5f) and went backwards from that when eighth of 11 in novice at this C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago. Needs to leave that behind.

Form: 98

(6)

Dinamo¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke

11/2

Dandy Man filly who was very easy to back and she displayed only greenness when eleventh of 13 in maiden (33/1) at Doncaster (5f, firm) on debut 11 days ago. Represents top stable and this promises to reveal more.

Rajdad²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hughes

16/1

Cheap purchase who has failed to beat a rival in 2 starts to date, latterly in 4-runner maiden at Bath (5f, firm) 23 days ago, fading final 1f. However, drop in grade can help now and she's not out of things.

Form: 74

Carnation Queen⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Ollie Pears

25/1

Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 66/1) on debut 9 days ago, running green and always behind. Needs to step up plenty on that if she's to feature.

Form: 7

Maledetta Minerva²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears

25/1

Foaled February 17. 1,500 gns yearling, Land Force filly. 80/1, showed nothing when eleventh of 12 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 23 days ago, slowly away and always behind.

Forecasts

Head For Freedom (9/4), U Turn (3/1), Dinamo (11/2), Gillali Lass (13/2), Twist Or Stick (15/2), Spartacus Warrior (16/1), Rajdad (16/1), Carnation Queen (25/1), Maledetta Minerva (25/1)

No depth to this claimer but GILLALI LASS shaped as though a return to this stiffer track would suit when midfield in a maiden at Wolverhampton 16 days ago and, with this ease in class another plus, she could be the answer. Rajdad and U Turn head up the dangers.
