Caballo Grande¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: M L W Bell

10/11

40,000 gns yearling, Ardad colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Just Frank. Showed ability when third of 7 in novice (9/2) at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) on debut 19 days ago. Should be sharper for that run and improvement expected second time up.

Form: 3

Chhota Saab¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Woods

5/1

Mixed bag on pedigree and took a small step forward from his debut when third of 5 in novice (10/1) at this C&D 15 days ago. Will need to improve again to get off the mark.

Form: 73

A Lott Of Kane²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham

200/1

Has failed to beat a rival in 2 starts. Difficult to make a strong case for.

Form: 07

Black Missile²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho

11/2

Sergei Prokofiev colt produced a promising first effort despite being very green when third of 7 in novice at Leicester (5f, good) 24 days ago. Up in trip and should progress.

Form: 3

Frankali

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Ollie Sangster

16/1

39,000 gns yearling, A'ali filly. Dam unraced half-sister to US Grade 3 1m winner Madison's Charm and 1¼m winner Pebble Island (both smart). Makes appeal on pedigree and market should guide expectations on debut.

Velvet Rhythm⁵⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| BF

7/2

Bred to be useful and has shown ability in both starts, refused to settle when fourth of 9 in maiden (13/8) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 58 days ago, having been well backed. Still a work in progress but the drop to 6f ought to suit and she remains capable of better.

Form: 34

Rendita¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears

125/1

Couldn't even match modest debut form when last of 5 in novice (33/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 11 days ago. Will need to improve markedly to win a maiden.

Form: 65

Forecasts

Caballo Grande (10/11), Velvet Rhythm (7/2), Chhota Saab (5/1), Black Missile (11/2), See That Spark (11/2), Frankali (16/1), Rendita (125/1), A Lott Of Kane (200/1)

CABALLO GRANDE made an encouraging start to his career when third at Goodwood earlier this month and has plenty of scope for improvement. He's narrowly preferred to Velvet Rhythm who shapes as though she'll appreciate 6f, while Black Missile and See That Spark ought to improve from their respective debuts.
