Good Fighter²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K S McHugh⁽⁷⁾| T: I Mohammed & J Santos

Didn't build on his debut effort when well-beaten fifth of 6 (40/1) at Newmarket last time.

Form: 75

Little Mester¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Doughty| T: S C Williams

9/4

Sent off at 50/1 but showed ability when 1¾ lengths fourth of 9 in Leicester seller on debut. He'll need to improve switched to a maiden, but that's not out of the question.

Form: 4

Terryfying²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

80/1

Very cheap purchase given pedigree. Too green to do himself justice on debut at Thirsk (40/1) earlier this month.

Form: 8

Too Many Spirits¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 72

4/1

Close second (third subsequent winner) at Pontefract (5f) in April. Hit the frame both starts since without scaling the same heights. Still high on the shortlist making all-weather debut in a thin maiden.

Form: 5224

Banter Inn Court⁷⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Lloyd Applegate⁽⁷⁾| T: Dr R Newland

80/1

Bred to be sharp but was well beaten on debut at Leicester (5f) in early-May.

Form: 9

Enamored³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: E A L Dunlop

15/8

Had undergone a breathing operation prior to an encouraging 1¾-length third at Yarmouth (6f) on debut. Entitled to come on for that (showed plenty of inexperience) and the form sets a fair standard (fifth won since).

Form: 3

(8)

Honeymoon Bear²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: J Parr

11/2

Bred to make an impact as a juvenile. Showed a bit when beaten 5¼ lengths at Yarmouth first time up. That race has produced a couple of subsequent winners, though she'll need to improve to be in the shake-up.

Form: 7

(2)

Purple Dream

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: T Ward

18/1

Foaled April 24. Dream Ahead filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including winner up to 1m Miss Mai Tai (2-y-o 6f winner) and winner up to 7.4f Miss Woo Woo (2-y-o 6f/6.5f winner) Dam ran once. Enough in her pedigree to at least warrant a market check.

Tzaritza¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox| T: A Watson

80/1

Endured a debut to forget (banged head on stalls/looked green) at Wetherby. No excuses when well held at Newbury latest and probably a nursery project for her capable yard.

Form: 97

(10)

Bella Lucia⁵⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Rowan Scott| T: G Tutty

18/1

Well-backed third on debut at Beverley (5f). Went backwards from that effort when free-going sixth of 9 at Redcar (6f) in late-May. Has been given a break, though hard to be confident she'll find the required improvement.

Form: 36

(13)

Steamy Wonder

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: S Donohoe| T: Dylan Cunha

50/1

Foaled March 31. 2,000 gns yearling, Belardo filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Day of Conquest. Doesn't look an obvious type on paper.

Form:

(5)

Time And Effort⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado

28/1

Showed a bit when 7¼ lengths fourth on Musselburgh debut (40/1) before trailing the field home in the Woodcote at Epsom. Does at least return to a more realistic level.

Form: 40

Non-Runners

Ongombo²⁴

Weight: 9-7| Age: 2

T: C Fellowes J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Enamored (15/8), Little Mester (9/4), Too Many Spirits (4/1), Honeymoon Bear (11/2), Ongombo (8/1), Bella Lucia (18/1), Purple Dream (18/1), Time And Effort (28/1), Steamy Wonder (50/1), Good Fighter (50/1), Tzaritza (80/1), Terryfying (80/1), Banter Inn Court (80/1)

This looks a good opportunity for ENAMORED to open her account. She's preferred to Too Many Spirits, who's proved consistent rather than progressive.
