Davvy²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans

9/1

Left behind debut effort when fourth in a 5.5f maiden at this course, the form working out really well. Took another step forward when landing a 6f Redcar maiden, suited by the extra half furlong, His run style suggests the step up to 7f should prove no problem. Solid claims.

Form: 641

Showed promise when eighth of 12 in a Windsor maiden (6f) that has thrown up plenty of winners. Showed much improved form second time up when making all to land a 7f Leicester maiden with authority. May well progress again.

Hasn't progressed in three starts, well held fifth in a 13-runner maiden a Leicester (5f) last month. Needs to find significant improvement for this marked step up in trip.

Reception¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C Fellowes

2/1

Kodi Bear colt. Brother to smart winner up to 6.5f Room Service. Emerged with credit on debut having raced wide throughout when fifth of 13 in a Windsor novice (6f), made headway 2f out but one pace late on. Looks sure to improve.

Form: 5

Strength of Spirit²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S H James| T: K R Burke

17/2

From a top yard but was easy to back and struggling from a fair way out on debut when well beaten fifth in a 6f Ayr maiden 23 days ago. No surprise if he's much sharper for that experience.

Form: 5

The Resdev Scholar²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: M & D Easterby

12/1

Bred for middle distances on his dam's side and looked one for the longer term when down the field in a 6f Pontefract maiden 3 weeks ago. Entitled to improve over an extra furlong but likely to be seen to better effect over further.

Form: 7

Ubetterseethis²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: Craig Lidster

6/1

Went close on debut at Pontefract (5f) in April and hasn't had the rub of the green in 2 subsequent outings, keeping on when no room final 100 yds when sixth in a 6f maiden at the aforementioned venue 21 days ago. Looks interesting stepping up to 7f.

Form: 236

Crystal Aurora³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Sullivan| T: I Furtado

40/1

Dam a smart 1¼m winner. Well beaten on debut at Beverley (5f) last month. Extra 2f may help but looks one for the longer term.

Form: 7

Imso Friendly⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison

250/1

Has shown little in two starts over 5f and will need to improve considerably for the step up to 7f.

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby

125/1

Looked badly in need of the experience when well held on debut at Ripon (6f) last month, soon off the bridle. This looks a tough ask second time up.

Form: 5

Sunniva⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison

100/1

Always last and pulled up lame when an outsider (50/1) on debut at Pontefract 4 days ago. Faces a tall order from stall 14 on just her second start.

Brother to a smart winner, RECEPTION showed plenty to work with when enduring a wide passage on debut and he remains open to plenty of improvement over this longer trip second time up. He receives a handy 6 lb from main dangers Jack The Tooth and Davvy who both shaped creditably in maidens that are working are well prior to getting off the mark on their most recent starts.
