Blue Bolt²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: A M Balding| D

6/4

Lots to like on paper and sent off 10/11, she could manage only fifth of 9 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f) on debut. Showed why she'd been so heavily backed when landing 6-runner novice at Windsor 3 weeks ago, forging clear. More to come from this well-bred filly.

Form: 51

11/10

Made a winning debut over 7f here in April. Sent off 7/4 but still ran well when 4¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Kon Tiki in listed race at York (7.9f, good) 27 days ago, needing stiffer test. The one to beat down in class.

Form: 14

Brecon Beacons¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Bass| T: J Channon

40/1

Pinatubo filly who has looked a work-in-progress so far, still green at Chester 12 days ago.

Form: 57

Dreamasar

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker

25/1

Masar filly. Half-sister to several winners, including very smart 7f-9.2f winner Dreamloper and useful 1m-1½m winner Santorini Star. Dam 1¼m-12.4f winner. Nice type on paper.

Island Ocean¹³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: H Main

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, sixth of 8 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f), never nearer. Off 136 days.

Form: 8-6

Majaz²¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

11/1

Promise amidst greenness when fourth of 10 in novice at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut. Off 7 months but in top hands and this step up in trip can only help.

Form: 4-

(6)

Moderna²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Harry Charlton

50/1

€65,000 yearling, Ghaiyyath filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 5f winner So Majestic and winner up to 1¼m Francaise. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Majestic Queen. Didn't go with masses of promise starting out at Kempton 3 weeks ago.

Form: 8

Seren Star⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: W J Haggas

13/2

€88,000 yearling, Profitable filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 1¼m Circumvent and useful winner up to 11f Devious Company. Dam unraced. Green early but really got the hang of things when third of 5 at Newmarket in April (7f). Sure-fire improver.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Consecrated (11/10), Blue Bolt (6/4), Seren Star (13/2), Majaz (11/1), Dreamasar (25/1), Brecon Beacons (40/1), Moderna (50/1), Island Ocean (250/1)

CONSECRATED cemented an excellent start to her career when fourth in listed company at York 4 weeks ago and with her limit yet to be reached, she's the one to beat back in a novice. Blue Bolt is also penalised and represents a top yard so she's second choice, though Seren Star, a stablemate of the selection, is open to above-average improvement.
