Noelan Star¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-3| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 92| D

1/1

Bolted up on debut at Newcastle (1m) in December and wasn't hard-pressed to land the odds when making it 2-2 over 7f at the same track 19 days ago. Remains open to improvement.

Form: 1-1

Auradue

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: S R Bowring

50/1

Very limited appeal on paper and probably best watched on debut.

Leonardo Blu

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover

14/1

50,000 gns half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart winner up to 1m Sirius Prospect and smart winner Bama Breeze, while his dam was a 2-y-o 7f winner. Interesting to see what the market makes of him.

Mountain Cat

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: S bin Suroor

7/2

Teofilo colt out of a 7f-8.4f winner, herself closely-related to useful 2-y-o 7f/7.4f winner My Highness. Lots to like on paper and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant.

Beau Chevalier⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: William Cox| T: E De Giles

150/1

Hasn't show much in 2 starts 9 months apart and will likely be better off in handicaps later on.

Form: 0-9

My Ballyquinn²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| BF

9/4

Gelded following 2-y-o debut seventh at Ripon where he looked green, and it was a sizeable step forward that he took when going close on return at Thirsk (1m, good to soft) last month. Open to further improvement.

Form: 7-2

Forecasts

Noelan Star (1/1), My Ballyquinn (9/4), Mountain Cat (7/2), Harmonics (11/2), Leonardo Blu (14/1), Auradue (50/1), Beau Chevalier (150/1)

Impressive in a couple of novice events at Newcastle, NOELAN STAR looks destined for better things and is taken to maintain his unbeaten record, despite the double penalty. My Ballyquinn left his 2-y-o effort behind with a solid reappearance second at Thirsk and he rates the main danger, though support for newcomer Mountain Cat would be noteworthy and Harmonics should improve on what he showed first time out at Southwell.
