Tropical Dreamer³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 81

2/1

Bred to be sharp and travelled powerfully when making a winning debut in a Beverley novice (5f) in April. Matched that form when fourth in conditions' event back at that track/trip a month later and the way he shaped then suggests this step up in trip will hold no fears. Sound claims.

Form: 14

Circle Of Trust

16/1

Foaled March 30. €30,000 foal, €22,000 yearling, Dark Angel gelding. Half-brother to winner abroad by Showcasing. Dam twice-raced half-sister to high-class sprinter Benbaun. Market can guide as one of 2 runners from this yard.

Dandy Style³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Smart

2/1

Sent off 18/1 and promising start when fourth of 9 in novice at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) on debut 33 days ago, not knocked about. Should progress with that behind him and possibilities here.

Form: 4

(11)

Straight Ahead¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S H James| T: Craig Lidster

9/2

Dream Ahead colt who went backwards from his debut run when sixth of 10 in novice (18/1) at Chester (6.1f, good to soft) 18 days ago. However, far too soon to be writing him off.

Form: 66

(8)

Surgeon Commander¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: Craig Lidster

33/1

Twice-raced maiden. 16/1, seventh of 10 in novice at Redcar (6f, firm) 11 days ago, off bridle long way out and making little impression. Nurseries may well be more his thing.

Form: 67

Doilookokay¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler

200/1

Foaled March 20. Land Force gelding. 50/1, offered little when ninth of 11 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) on debut 16 days ago, weakening from 2f out. Best watched at present.

Form: 9

Horu Kanu

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey

12/1

Foaled February 22. Sands of Mali colt. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner out of useful winner up to 1½m Lemonette, from family of top-class US 9f/1¼m performer Behrens. One to note in the market for clues on debut.

Jungle Knight^t¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: M G Rimell

10/1

Bungle Inthejungle colt. Tongue strap on, showed a bit when fourth of 11 in maiden (16/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) on debut 16 days ago, fading final 1f. Will need to step forward from that to play a prominent role here, though.

Form: 4

Magistery¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

20/1

Twice-raced maiden. 10/1, showed a bit more than on debut when fifth of 7 in novice at this C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago. Will have nurseries as an option after this which promise to be more suitable.

Form: 85

Forecasts

Dandy Style (2/1), Tropical Dreamer (2/1), Magic Stone (7/2), Straight Ahead (9/2), Jungle Knight (10/1), Horu Kanu (12/1), Circle Of Trust (16/1), Magistery (20/1), Bye Law (20/1), Surgeon Commander (33/1), Doilookokay (200/1)

DANDY STYLE shaped with definite promise when fourth on debut in a race that has worked out well at Carlisle 33 days ago, so he could be the way to go despite a potentially tricky draw on the flank. Penalised runner Tropical Dreamer has posted fairly useful form in 2 starts to date and he's feared, as is Magic Stone.
