(3)

Bugzy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: Tom Clover

4/1

Foaled April 8. Advertise colt. Dam of little account, half-sister to 6f winner (stayed 7f) Mild Illusion. Yard 0-4 with their 2-y-o debutants at the time of writing and the market can prove a useful guide.

(7)

Chief Minister¹⁸

22/1

Mattmu colt who was easy to back and went with little encouragement when ninth of 10 in a Newbury novice (6f) on debut 18 days ago. This can reveal more but passed over in any case.

Form: 9

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: P Neville

(1)

Rock Steady Beat⁴⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 76

4/5

Stepped up on his debut effort when second at Carlisle (5f, soft) in June prior to finishing a rather disappointing third of 6 in a Redcar novice (5f) later that month. Subsequently gelded and he appeals as the type to get back on track now returned to 6f from the plum draw.

Form: 523

(8)

Sankhum Galaxy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam

20/1

Foaled April 20. Space Blues colt. Dam, French 9f-1½m winner, sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Thunder Eclipse.

(5)

Lady Henshaw¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: P Owens

4/1

€90,000 breeze-up purchase who was hooded for debut (discarded here) and hinted at ability amid clear inexperience when seventh of 11 in a Newbury maiden (6f, firm) 3 weeks ago. That experience won't have been wasted on her and she rates a likely improver.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Rock Steady Beat (6/5), Our Son Oscar (5/2), Bugzy (4/1), Lady Henshaw (10/1), Chief Minister (14/1), Sankhum Galaxy (25/1), Longshanks Luke (50/1), Mubehir (66/1)

ROCK STEADY BEAT was disappointing given the promise he'd displayed previously when third in a Redcar novice in June but gelded subsequently, this looks a good opportunity for Karl Burke's charge to get back on the up from the plum draw in stall 1. Our Son Oscar and Bugzy are a couple of newcomers to note, whilst Lady Henshaw rates a likely improver with her debut run behind her.
