Aspull^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C G Cox| D

8/11

Once-raced winner. Hooded, won 8-runner novice at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 13/2) on debut 18 days ago. That form is nothing special, but it was a positive start to his career nonetheless.

Mr Phillips⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Jenkins

300/1

Twice-raced maiden on Flat. 300/1, last of 14 in maiden at Windsor (10f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Down in trip and he's readily passed over.

Form: 70

(2)

Hampson Green^h1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: D & C Kubler

80/1

Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, eleventh of 13 in maiden at Ffos Las (8f, good) 21 days ago. Now tried in a hood and he needs to take a step forward.

Form: 70

(9)

Just Adair^t³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Frederick Larson| T: J & A O'Neill

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in novice (125/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Down in trip. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 66

(3)

Nige

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Darragh Keenan| T: George Scott

11/1

30,000 gns foal, 28,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 5f winner Tagline and useful winning sprinter Koepp. Dam lightly raced. Worth a second look in the betting.

Form:

(12)

Potomac River

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: T Kent

6/1

1,000 gns yearling, €90,000 2-y-o, Starspangledbanner colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 7.4f Piastrella and 1¼m winner Dangeroffizz. Dam 13f winner. Yard is hardly renowned for winning newcomers, but this one needs a market check all the same.

Form:

(6)

Release The Storm

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Joe Leavy| T: B J Meehan

10/1

38,000 gns yearling, Iffraaj gelding. Yard occasionally strikes with newcomers and it will be interesting if the market vibes surrounding this one are upbeat.

Form:

(7)

Symphony Of Joy

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Sanderson| T: K Frost

40/1

3,000 gns 3-y-o, Ulysses colt. Brother to smart winner up to 1m Mighty Ulysses and half-brother to useful winner up to 7f Lou Lou's Gift. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Probably best watched on debut.

Form:

(5)

Lady Of The Champ²⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: Jack Morland

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in maiden (66/1) at Chelmsford (6f) when last seen 9 months ago. First run for yard after leaving James Horton and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 69-

(8)

Miss Allsorts^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: William Cox| T: P Attwater

50/1

1,000 gns 2-y-o, Wootton Bassett filly. Wears tongue strap on debut and he doesn't have the look of a probable first-time-out winner.

Form:

(10)

Suhub⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S D Bowen| T: W J Haggas| OR: 74

5/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in handicap (13/2) at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 69 days ago. Entitled to come on for that and she's of strong interest returned to novice company.

Form: 423-9

(4)

Wave Rock¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Grace McEntee| T: J Butler

150/1

Once-raced maiden. Last of 8 in maiden at Thirsk (7f, good, 11/1) on debut 15 days ago. Opposable.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Aspull (8/11), Suhub (5/2), Potomac River (6/1), Release The Storm (10/1), Nige (11/1), Symphony Of Joy (40/1), Miss Allsorts (50/1), Wrydcroft (50/1), Hampson Green (80/1), Lady Of The Champ (125/1), Wave Rock (150/1), Just Adair (250/1), Mr Phillips (300/1)

Not much went wright for SUHUB on her reappearance in a Haydock handicap during the spring and she is the clear pick judged on her promising 2-y-o exploits. Aspull will need to raise his game in order to defy a penalty for his recent debut success at Salisbury, but he commands respect nonetheless and is preferred to newcomer Release The Storm for forecast purposes.
