Beach Ahead^t¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore

15/2

13,000 gns yearling. Dream Ahead colt. Offered something to work on when fourth of 12 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 33/1) on debut 15 days ago but will need to find more to win this.

Form: 4

Undercover Affair⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Loughnane| T: P D Evans| BF

5/4

Havana Grey gelding who progressed gradually across his first 3 starts. Couldn't capitalise on a drop in grade when only second of 12 in seller at Chester (6f, good) 8 days ago, his response to pressure not overly convincing, but he still merits serious respect in this company.

Form: 4422

Cavan Lady

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes

7/1

Foaled January 24. 25,000 gns yearling, Ardad filly. Half-sister to useful 7f winner Nibras Angel and 6.4f-10.4f winner Doha Bu Thaila. Worth betting check for yard that can ready a newcomer.

(3)

Fortunate⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

9/1

Didn't prove as keen and fared much better than previously when fourth of 12 in seller at Chester (6f, good) 8 days ago. Will probably need to find further improvement to get off the mark here, though.

Form: 6004

Leucothea³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Hannon| BF

13/8

Went off a well-backed favourite and showed ability amid greenness when runner-up in 7-runner maiden at Bath on debut. More clued up but ran to just a similar level when third of 6 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6f) 30 days ago but still holds strong claims in this company.

Form: 23

Forecasts

Undercover Affair (13/8), Leucothea (5/2), Fortunate (3/1), Beach Ahead (8/1), Cavan Lady (10/1)

LEUCOTHEA might prove the most solid option in this seller. Undercover Affair rates as the obvious danger despite hinting at a quirk or 2 at Chester last time.
