Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| D

11/4

After 9 weeks off (gelded), left debut form behind when winning 10-runner maiden (14/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 20 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Can give another good account despite having to concede weight all round.

Form: 61

Arbaawy¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: J Butler

9/2

Half-brother to 3 winners but was too green to make an impact when eighth of 12 in maiden at Goodwood (7f, good, 125/1) on debut 13 days ago. May just need more time.

Form: 8

Sports Day

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: M L W Bell

12/1

Foaled March 28. 38,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Half-brother to French 2-y-o 1¼m winner Eggleston. Dam unraced sister to Nunthorpe Stakes winner Margot Did. Watch for market clues.

King Victorious¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Grace McEntee| T: G Boughey| BF

33/1

Has looked in need of experience in his 2 starts so far, going backwards from debut when last of 9 in novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 6/4) 11 days ago. Much more needed.

Form: 99

(6)

Monastry¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: T Kent

11/10

Has run to a fair level both starts, coming from further back than the trio that beat him when 1¾ lengths fourth of 8 in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good, 7/2) 18 days ago. Major player as he drops in grade.

Form: 44

(4)

Thanh Nam¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Laura Pearson| T: James Owen

40/1

Finished well held making his first start when seventh of 8 in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good, 33/1) 18 days ago, with Monastry ahead in fourth. Looks one for the longer term.

Form: 7

(7)

Emerald Coast¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: H Palmer

17/2

Showed promise on debut when third of 5 in maiden at Chester (7.6f, firm, 4/1) 12 days ago, leading until approaching final 1f. Entitled to progress from that first outing and she could make another bold bid.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Monastry (11/10), Sudbury Hill (11/4), Arbaawy (9/2), Emerald Coast (17/2), Sports Day (12/1), King Victorious (33/1), Thanh Nam (40/1)

MONASTRY has made a promising start to his career, pulling clear of the remainder when fourth of 8 in a Yarmouth novice last time, and he could be ready to get off the mark with improvement still to come. Emerald Coast is also open to progress having shaped encouragingly at Chester on debut and is feared most, ahead of last-time-out winner Sudbury Hill.
