Pikachu²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: C Johnston| OR: 106

1/16

Expensive Frankel colt who improved again when 1¼ lengths third in Group 2 Superlative at Newmarket (7f). Didn't confirm that improvement when beaten 3½ lengths in Group 2 Vintage at Goodwood subsequently. Longer trip no issue here, and this looks a penalty kick back in maiden company.

Trumpety Trump³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 75

9/1

Showed more than most of stable's 2-y-o debutants when close third of 4 in a muddling race at Ayr (33/1). Didn't build on that at Hamilton (6f) subsequently and probably booked for the silver medal on first try over 1m.

Form: 34

Nice Neasy Does It

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

11/1

Foaled April 11. Nathaniel filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner Wildcitydiva. Dam, maiden (stayed 7.5f), half-sister to useful winner up to 1m A Bit Special out of smart 2-y-o 5f winner Euro Empire. Yard isn't renowned for its precocious juveniles.

Forecasts

Pikachu (2/7), Trumpety Trump (4/1), Nice Neasy Does It (10/1)

It'll be a turn-up for the books if PIKACHU doesn't open his account at the fifth attempt. Trumpety Trump may achieve a hollow second-place finish.
