Maximum Scepticism⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: J P O'Brien

8/15

Shaped creditably in two maidens at the Curragh, the latest over 7f 44 days ago when beaten only 1¼ lengths in a race that is usually above average and is looking that way again (Dorset second, behind another very promising winner from Coolmore). Clearly the class act.

Form: 45

Phantom Watch¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: H Palmer

11/4

€75,000 Mohaather half-brother to several winners, including smart 1m winner History Writer and useful winner up to 1m Blenheim Boy. 8/1, third of 6 in novice at Newbury (6f, good to firm) on debut 15 days ago, not knocked about. May well do better.

Form: 3

The Lost Sock

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Aidan Keeley| T: R Varian

6/1

Foaled April 16. €10,000 foal, 12,500 gns yearling, £50,000 2-y-o, Cotai Glory colt. Half-brother to winner up to 7f Manitou. Dam, maiden (stayed 6f), half-sister to smart French winner up to 9.5f Skins Game. Newcomer to note but probably up against a good one in Maximum Scepticism.

Forecasts

Maximum Scepticism (8/15), Phantom Watch (11/4), The Lost Sock (6/1), Jungle Knight (25/1), Isambard Kingdom (50/1), Us Officer (125/1), Auspicious (200/1)

Hard to see past MAXIMUM SCEPTICISM who again shaped well in what could prove to be a hot 7f Curragh maiden last month. Newcomer The Lost Sock might be the danger if ready to roll.
