A Bear Affair³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| D

9/4

68,000 gns yearling, Kodi Bear colt. Knew what was required when providing his trainer with a third Brocklesby in 5 years in March, finishing ahead of Dance A Jig. Gives weight to that rival this time but he looks sure to progress and win more races.

Form: 1

Adaay Of Scarlett¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| D

5/4

Mehmas colt who was impressive when making a winning debut 5-runner novice at Newmarket (5f) 17 days ago. Readily got the better of a subsequent winner then and there's even better to come.

Form: 1

Dance A Jig³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

7/4

Naval Crown colt. Shaped very well amidst greenness when ¾-length second of 15 to A Bear Affair in Brocklesby Stakes at Doncaster (5f, good to soft, 6/1) on debut in March, meeting significant in-running trouble. Is better off at the weights with that rival and is a big player.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Adaay Of Scarlett (6/4), Dance A Jig (7/4), A Bear Affair (3/1), Crusherman (12/1)

Just a quartet line up for this 2-y-o event but it is one of the more interesting early season juvenile races. ADAAY OF SCARLETT created an excellent impression at Newmarket and gets the nod to follow up. Dance A Jig was unlucky not to score in the Brocklesby and has a good chance of reversing form at the weights with A Bear Affair.
