Army Bugler²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: W Greatrex

11/8

Showed ability when fifth of 9 on debut at Salisbury over this trip. Improved to finish second of 12 in maiden at Bath (12/1) 20 days ago, stumbled at start and ran green when briefly leading under 2f out. Likely to improve further with that experience.

Form: 52

Davorge Nation^b1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll

33/1

Foaled March 27. €3,000 foal, €13,500 yearling, £20,000 2-y-o. Sioux Nation gelding. First foal out of a dam who was a runner-up at 5f and half-sister to very smart 5f/6f winner Gilt Edge Girl. Pedigree suggests he should be sharp. Blinkered for debut.

Saeculamation²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: G G Margarson

40/1

Well beaten on debut at Newmarket but showed more last time, disputing lead until 2f out before weakening when seventh of 12 in maiden on AW at Chelmsford (50/1) 25 days ago. First try at this shorter trip could suit.

Form: 97

Send The Navy^p¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Alice Bond⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 40

125/1

Has shown little in three career starts. Finished 12th of 15 in seller at York (50/1) 13 days ago with first-time cheekpieces. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 770

U S S Charleston⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh| T: Lemos Souza

5/4

Well-bred two-year-old from a family that includes smart miler Lord Campari. Finished fourth of 13 on debut at Doncaster (16/1) 40 days ago, dwelt at the start and met trouble 2f out before taking fourth. Open to improvement with that experience behind him.

Form: 4

Bold Return¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gina Mangan| T: Steph Hollinshead

22/1

Once-raced filly related to useful winners. Eighth of 10 in novice stakes at Bath (33/1) 12 days ago, hinted at ability but met traffic problems mid-race. This will reveal more.

Form: 8

(1)

Kunaa¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane

5/1

Half-sister to very smart winner Haatem making just second career start. Finished third of 14 in maiden at Windsor (9/1) 10 days ago, making headway in the final furlong without being knocked about. Should improve and merits consideration in this company.

Form: 3

(8)

No Way Hozay^h²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: Michael Keady

18/1

Showed early speed before weakening to finish sixth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford (80/1) on debut 21 days ago, wearing hood but still racing freely. Step down in trip could help but needs to settle better.

Form: 6

Forecasts

U S S Charleston (5/4), Army Bugler (11/8), Kunaa (5/1), No Way Hozay (18/1), Bold Return (22/1), Davorge Nation (33/1), Excelerate (33/1), Saeculamation (40/1), Send The Navy (125/1)

ARMY BUGLER improved on his debut run when runner-up at Bath last time despite running green, and with further progress expected, he can go one better here. Kunaa caught the eye when finishing third at Windsor without being knocked about and rates the main danger. U S S Charleston also showed promise on debut at Doncaster despite meeting trouble and can progress.
