6/5

€420,000 Victor Ludorum colt made his debut in a race that has thrown up plenty of winners and improved second time up when winning a Yarmouth novice (7f, good to soft). Failed to repeat that effort at Newmarket last month but has form with give in the ground and makes appeal now handicapping.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 84

11/1

Steady improvement in maidens, winning a 6f Brighton maiden (soft) on final qualifying run prior to running as well as could be expected when tenth of 17 to Venetian Sun in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, firm) 34 days ago. This looks a more realistic test now upped in trip on handicap debut.

Boiling Over²¹

7/2

Solid form when second at Sandown last month and remained in good heart when fourth of 9 in novice at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago, probably paid the price for forcing the pace. In good hands for handicap debut and could have more to offer.

Form: 524

7/2

Victor Ludorum colt stepped forward again when second of 6 in maiden at Ayr (6f, good to soft, 3/1) 18 days ago. Step up to 7f should suit on handicap debut. One to consider.

Ibshara²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 77| BF

33/1

Runner-up at Newmarket last month but was again too free when third of 5 in maiden at Epsom (7f, good to firm, 6/4) 22 days ago. Yard's juveniles typically in good form and could make more of an impact if settling on handicap debut.

Form: 323

Kawthar²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 66| BF

9/1

Found only an above-average prospect too good when second of 8 in maiden at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) but underperformed when fourth of 9 in a C&D maiden last month, still looking a work in progress (didn't knuckle down properly). Early days and may do better now handicapping.

Expensive yearling COMMANDER'S INTENT started life in a strong maiden and became one of 6 next time out winners from that race when landing a Yarmouth maiden in May. He wasn't in the same form at Newmarket last time but still appeals most on handicap debut, having already proven himself on ground with some give. Boiling Over has solid maiden form and could be open to improvement now handicapping, while there could be more to come from Dodge City now stepped up to 7f on his nursery bow.
