(7)

Flight Control²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: William Pyle| T: K Frost| CD

2/1

Calyx gelding who was sold unraced by Coolmore last autumn and looked a shrewd purchase in making a winning start in 14-runner novice over C&D last month, well on top finish. The overall time provides substance to that performance and he has to be respected under a penalty.

Form: 1

(9)

The Untamed³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: R Hannon| D

9/4

Bated Breath gelding who improved from his debut to get off the mark with plenty in hand in 7-runner novice at Ripon (6f) last month. Penalty to carry but he's in the right hands to do better still.

Form: 21

(2)

Auradue¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: George Wood| T: S R Bowring

200/1

Offered little on his belated debut at this course a fortnight ago.

Form: 6

Blue Icon

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey

11/1

Space Blues gelding. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. In a respected yard and would enter calculations if supported in the betting.

(4)

Brash

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley| T: T D Barron

25/1

€28,000 foal, Bungle Inthejungle gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 5f-6f winner Astro Jakk and 5f winner Profitable Edge. Dam 5f winner. Market for clues.

(11)

Elias Escape¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey

33/1

Is bred to be sharp but was very green when last of 5 in 7f novice at Redcar (good to firm) on debut 16 days ago, missing break.

Form: 5

(3)

Elite Approach¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Andrea Pinna⁽⁷⁾| T: Joey Ramsden

20/1

Havana Gold half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Pure Angel. Held back by inexperience on his recent debut at Southwell (6f) and should improve.

Form: 4

(8)

Frio³⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| BF

8/1

Havana Grey colt who made a promising start to his career when third in 7-runner novice at Musselburgh (5f) in April last year. Still in need of the experience at York the following month and retains some potential now stepping up in trip for new yard (has left John & Sean Quinn).

Form: 34-

(10)

Jellystone Park⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: J Channon

4/1

50,000 gns yearling, Kodi Bear gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 7f Tariq. Offered something to work on amidst inexperience when fourth of 9 in 6f all-weather novice at Lingfield on debut in March and is likely to improve.

Form: 4

(5)

Kilfrush Blue²⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr

50/1

Shaped as if badly in need of the experience when eighth of 13 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, good to firm) on sole outing for Jack Channon last year. Subsequently sold for only 5,000 gns and has been gelded since last seen.

Form: 8-

(1)

Tip Foster³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: T D Barron

15/2

Dream Ahead gelding who fared best of the newcomers when third of 9 in 6f novice at Pontefract (soft) 39 days ago. Open to progress.

Form: 3

(12)

You Mystify Me¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby

20/1

55,000 gns 2-y-o, A'ali filly. Showed more than first time up without being given a hard time when second of 4 in 5f novice at Hamilton (good) 13 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Open to further progress on this first try at 6f, though is possibly more one for handicaps after this run.

Form: 32

Forecasts

The Untamed (11/4), Flight Control (3/1), Blue Icon (6/1), Jellystone Park (7/1), Frio (8/1), You Mystify Me (10/1), Tip Foster (10/1), Brash (16/1), Elite Approach (25/1), Kilfrush Blue (33/1), Elias Escape (33/1), Auradue (100/1)

THE UNTAMED opened his account with plenty to spare at Ripon last month and is in the right hands to keep on improving, so he's an appealing candidate despite his penalty. There seemed to be no fluke about Flight Control's recent debut success over C&D with the overall time adding substance to his performance and he's feared most ahead of Jellystone Park, who seems likely to step up on his opening effort at Lingfield.
