Burning Up²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| CD

4/9

Too Darn Hot colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1½m Novakai. Looked potentially useful when winning a 6-runner maiden at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 27 days ago, having to wait for a gap before quickening to lead 100 yds out and then soon clear. Open to significant improvement.

Austin

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan

12/1

Foaled February 14. Lope De Vega colt. Brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Glenlaurel, closely related to 1¼m winner Shampion and half-brother to 1m winner King Triton. Yard 4-38 with 2-y-o newcomers this season. Bred to be above average and merits plenty of respect.

Bedford Benny Boy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: D Menuisier

50/1

Foaled February 27. €50,000 yearling, Kodiac colt. Dam, French maiden, closely related to smart 9f-10.4f winner Light The Ghost out of useful 2-y-o 7.5f winner Light The Stars. Others make greater appeal on paper.

Dancing Dunes³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: R M Beckett

9/2

€115,000 yearling, Torquator Tasso colt. Bred to need time and distance and he looked rather backward when fifth of 6 in novice at Sandown (7f, good, 14/1) on debut 36 days ago.

Hands To Yourself

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: M L W Bell

14/1

Foaled February 9. €100,000 foal, 95,000 gns yearling, Camelot colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Baroque Artist. Yard are 1-25 with 2-y-o newcomers this season and it's probable he'll benefit from the experience.

Sir Terry Hadley

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Johnston

33/1

Foaled April 17. 82,000 gns yearling, Baaeed colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart 1½m winner Promissory and useful 1¼m-1½m winner Royal Scandal. Yard 3-33 with juvenile newcomers this season. Bred to be above average but pedigree suggests he'll want middle distances.

Tidal Force

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: H Palmer

33/1

Foaled February 21. Land Force gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including 2-y-o 5f winner Miss Piggle. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Eagle Orb. Yard 6-30 with 2-y-o newcomers this season. Has a speedier pedigree than most here and is worth market check given stable record.

Under Arrest⁶¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

12/1

Too Darn Hot colt looked in need of the experience on debut but didn't really progress from that when fifth of 6 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good) 61 days ago. Probably one for nurseries after this.

Form: 55

Zarak Crown

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: O McSweeney| T: R A Fahey

16/1

Foaled April 3. €200,000 yearling, Zarak colt out a Group 2 winning dam. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 12.4f-1¾m winner Steel Tiger and French 7.4f/8.4f winner Murciano. Yard 3-36 with juvenile debutants this season. Makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and merits respect.

Forecasts

Burning Up (4/9), Dancing Dunes (9/2), Under Arrest (12/1), Austin (12/1), Hands To Yourself (14/1), Zarak Crown (16/1), Sir Terry Hadley (33/1), Tidal Force (33/1), Bedford Benny Boy (50/1)

BURNING UP scored in very good style when making a winning start over C&D 4 weeks ago and he should prove more than capable of defying a penalty. The biggest threat is likely to come from a newcomer, with Austin and Zarak Crown perhaps most interesting of those.
