Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: C G Cox

7/2

Twice-raced maiden. 11/4, fifth of 9 in novice at this C&D 29 days ago. Now tried in a tongue strap and improvement may be forthcoming.

Form: 35

Von Trotter²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby

11/4

Once-raced maiden. Second of 10 in novice (33/1) at Newcastle (6f) on debut 27 days ago. Yard's newcomers tend to come on for a run and there's no reason to think that this fellow won't do just that.

Form: 2

Blueaway^h¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman

50/1

Once-raced maiden. 18/1 and hooded, last of 5 in novice at Kempton (6f) on debut 18 days ago, very slowly away. Readily passed over.

Form: 5

(6)

Ealhswith¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

20/1

Twice-raced maiden. 4/1, sixth of 10 in novice at Chelmsford City (6f) 15 days ago. In top hands and this filly can be expected to do better before long.

Form: 66

Exhibition Match^h1²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie| T: Ollie Sangster

150/1

Once-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 8 in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on debut 20 days ago, very slowly away. Now tried in a hood and sizeable step forward needed.

Form: 8

(3)

Sound And Vision¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 68

9/4

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 7 in novice (3/1) at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago. Return to 6f would probably be ideal but she's a must for the shortlist nonetheless.

Forecasts

Sound And Vision (9/4), Von Trotter (11/4), Saxon Prince (7/2), Riley Rocks (5/1), Southern Warrior (15/2), Ealhswith (20/1), Blueaway (50/1), Exhibition Match (150/1)

Judged on pedigree RILEY ROCKS should be pretty nippy and he wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make a winning debut. He is taken to do just that and it goes without saying that confidence levels will heighten should the market speak in his favour. Sound And Vision is next on the list, with likely improvers Von Trotter and Saxon Prince also shortlisted.
