Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey

14/1

Once-raced colt. Fifth of 7 in novice at Ayr (7.2f, soft, 11/2) on debut 21 days ago, slowly away. Likely to do better in time.

Form: 5

(5)

Emtinan

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: C Hills

11/1

Foaled March 3. Lope De Vega gelding. Half-brother to 1m winner Wujjood. The market should be revealing where this newcomer is concerned.

Howsham¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby

200/1

Thrice-raced gelding. 125/1, fifth of 9 in novice at Pontefract (8f, soft) 16 days ago, not knocked about. Readily passed over.

Form: 095

(6)

Joulany³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| BF

4/6

Promising type. Second of 9 in novice at Kempton (7f, 5/6) on debut 36 days ago. That form has received several boosts since and this son of Sea The Stars is the one to beat.

Form: 2

(3)

King Of Berkshire²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding| BF

22/1

Once-raced colt. Third of 6 in maiden (6/4) at Yarmouth (7f, soft) on debut 24 days ago. Should improve with that run under his belt.

Form: 3

(8)

Morshdi²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| BF

10/3

Promising sort. 10/11, second of 5 in novice at Sandown (7f, heavy) on debut 24 days ago, pulling clear with the winner who has since run well in Group 1 company. Open to improvement.

Form: 2

(7)

Regal Knight¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: T Coyle & K Wood

300/1

Twice-raced gelding. Seventh of 9 in novice (125/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 16 days ago and he looks up against it.

Form: 07

(2)

Valenday³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan

6/1

Once-raced colt. Second of 9 in maiden at this course (7f, good to firm, 50/1) on debut 34 days ago. May well do better and he needs considering.

Forecasts

Joulany (4/6), Morshdi (10/3), Valenday (6/1), Emtinan (11/1), Arabian Desert (14/1), King Of Berkshire (22/1), Howsham (200/1), Regal Knight (300/1)

Despite failing to land the odds on debut at Kempton, JOULANY shaped really well in finishing second to a Godolphin colt who had the benefit of previous experience and has since gone on to land a traditionally strong conditions race at Newbury. With improvement on the cards, he is taken to go one better here. Morshdi and Valenday, both of whom also shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on their respective debuts, rate the main dangers in that order of preference.
