Selected odds by:

(3)

Pocket Warrior¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: George Wood⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Bosley

66/1

Three runs in two maidens and a bumper have indicated only a modest level of ability.

Form: /7668

(12)

Zerafino³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: J C Fox

150/1

Has started slowly on both starts to date and is of limited appeal.

Form: 00

(5)

Napping

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: George Downing| T: Mrs A L M King

50/1

Speed in the pedigree and related to five winners. Probably best watched on debut.

Form: 5

(1)

Tilly's Bridge²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: S Woodman

66/1

Has shown signs of ability whilst looking green on both starts to date. May need more time and a handicap mark before progressing.

Form: 7880

(8)

Double Dutch³²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: A Kirby| T: J Butler

10/1

Off the track since inauspicious debut last April. Makes debut for new connections and market will be informative.

Form: 5-0

(11)

Essential²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: George Scott

3/1

Bred for speed and fetched 50,000 guineas at the sales. Weak in the market and ran green on debut in a weak looking maiden. Stable are 2-3 in last two weeks including one under today's rider.

Form: 53

(6)

Hisar^h1²⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: R Harris

20/1

€50,000 buy as a two-year-old. Related to a couple of AW winners who were best at around 7f-1m. Finished last of 14 on debut and has been gelded since. Hood fitted for the first time.

Form: 0-2646

(4)

Mister Chow

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T J Murphy| T: G & J Moore

33/1

Pedigree indicates he is going to need middle distances. Stable's horses generally improve for first run and that will most likely be the case here.

Form: 788

(10)

Spare Parts³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: C Hills

25/1

£75,000 yearling by Choisir out of an unraced dam. Decent pedigree, especially in terms of sprinters. Sent off at 25/1 and soundly beaten on debut. Will come on for the run but best watched until stable begin to fire.

Form: 798

(7)

Sparkalot

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J F Egan| T: S Dow

10/1

Purchased for 120,000 guineas as a two-year-old. Half-brother to four winners including three who scored on artificial surfaces. Stable are not renowned for debut winners but he could be worth a check in the market.

Form: 41

(2)

Tojosimbre^h1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

14/1

Stable's horses have been going well lately. Looked green on debut here last month and hood now fitted. Sure to come on for the experience but may need more time.

Form: 60

(9)

Ashwaq¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

8/11

Runner-up last time in a race which has produced three subsequent winners. Has been given time since that run and is the clear form pick. On the negative side the stable have had some expensive failures in this type of race lately.

Form: 32-16

Forecasts

Ashwaq (8/11), Essential (3/1), Sparkalot (10/1), Double Dutch (10/1), Tojosimbre (14/1), Hisar (20/1), Spare Parts (25/1), Mister Chow (33/1), Napping (50/1), Pocket Warrior (66/1), Tilly's Bridge (66/1), Zerafino (150/1)

ASHWAQ represents a yard having mixed fortunes at present and particularly in this class of event. She may not be one to take a ridiculously short price about but a lack of obvious competition makes her the pick, Sparkalot is an expensive buy who could prove to be better than these one day. He has speed in his pedigree as does Essential who represents a yard going well. George Scott's charge looked green on debut and any progress made since then will see him thereabouts.
