22/1

Foaled March 18. 40,000 gns yearling, Harry Angel gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to winner up to 1m Redolent and 6f/7f winner Pepita (both useful). Considered newcomer, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Nevasca Cinza²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: L Russell & M Scudamore

6/1

Havana Grey colt was gambled on and shaped well when third of 10 in novice (9/4) at Carlisle (5.8f, good) on his debut 21 days ago. Sure to progress so he's a likely player.

Showtown⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 73

5/2

Progressive gelding who came in a good second of 7 in maiden (7/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 41 days ago. Holds solid claims.

40/1

11/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Ayr (6f, good to firm) on debut 44 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Twice-raced filly. 16/1, second of 9 in maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Sets a pretty good standard.

Forecasts

Passing Thought (4/6), Showtown (5/2), Nevasca Cinza (6/1), Naughty Boy (22/1), Golden Havana (40/1)

NEVASCA CINZA couldn't justify support but made a promising start when third at Carlisle and can build on it to recoup losses here at the chief expense of form choice Passing Thought who rates a big danger. Showtown is improving with racing and can also have a say, while debutant Naughty Boy also needs factoring in, especially if the betting speaks in his favour.
