Baybe Driver³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

5/1

40,000 gns yearling, Pinatubo colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful/ungenuine 5f/6f winner Nigel Nott and 2-y-o 5f winner Baileys Jubilation. Didn't see his race out when beating only one home on his debut at Salisbury (5f) last month but should last longer here.

Form: 7

Blue Orbit³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: Dr R Newland

2/5

Well-bred son of Starman who made a promising start to his career when second of 8 in maiden at Chepstow (6.1f, good, 10/3) 30 days ago, running on. Chance is there for all to see with improvement on the cards.

Proof¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: C Hills

7/1

Disappointed bearing in mind debut promise when ninth of 12 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. The quick turnaround was perhaps a factor, though, so he's worth another chance.

Form: 29

Selmiya¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon

12/1

Twice-raced filly who went backwards from her debut when eighth of 9 in novice at Windsor (6f, good) 11 days ago.

Form: 38

Blue Orbit (2/5), Baybe Driver (5/1), Proof (7/1), Selmiya (12/1)

BLUE ORBIT made an encouraging start to his career when splitting 2 subsequent winners at Chepstow the previous month, and this looks an excellent opportunity to go one better with improvement on the cards. Proof can follow him home if returning to something like his debut form.
