Requinto Dawn¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

11/8

Yard are off to an excellent start with their juveniles having had three winners from eight runners already. This one had contributed one if the wins winning a division of the Brocklesby at Doncaster over 5f on debut. Looked as though he could improve on that and with that experience under his belt will prove a tough one to beat here.

Form: 12

Albarino

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

14/1

Yard have really yet to get going with their juveniles although they are capable in this sphere. This one is a half-brother to three winners and expected to go well on his debut.

Form: 7

(9)

Excellently Poised

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: B Smart

8/1

First foal by Sepoy who is the yard's first juvenile runner of the season. The dam was a 5f winner as a juvenile and is a half-sister to the smart 6f winner Blessington so there's enough speed in the pedigree.

Form: 1

(6)

I Am Dandy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: J Ewart

22/1

Rare juvenile runner from a mainly jumps-based yard but this one looks to have a speedy pedigree being by Dandy Man and a half-brother to juvenile winner over 5f Ready To Roc.

Form: 5

(8)

Revenge

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

25/1

The second juvenile runner of the season from this yard and the first foal of a dam who was a 5f winner as a juvenile. Yard are capable of having two-year-old winners but they generally need the run first time out.

Form: 64

Rockin Fella⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke

7/2

Yard are not unknown for some sharp juveniles and this one ran a very sound race on his debut earlier in the week at Redcar. Turned out again quickly here and bred to be sharp and may well step forward again on that debut.

Form: 332

(10)

Washeek

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: C & M Johnston

7/2

Debut runner for a yard who had a glut of early juvenile winners last season. Things seem a little steadier this year and this will be only their third juvenile runner. Cost £85,000 as a yearling and half-brother to several winners over further and may just find one or two a little sharper here.

Forecasts

Requinto Dawn (11/8), Rockin Fella (7/2), Washeek (7/2), Rocket Man Dan (6/1), Excellently Poised (8/1), Albarino (14/1), I Am Dandy (22/1), Revenge (25/1), Primo's Comet (25/1), Lord Of The Glen (33/1)

This looks to be a decent juvenile contest and with those with a run under their belts looking to hold sway and led by the only winner in the field REQUINTO DAWN who despite having to give weight away could be a better class than these. Both Rockin Fella and Rocket Man Dan made pleasing debuts in their own way and will be looking to improve on their first runs. Washeek is the main unknown one in the line-up although his stable have not made as fast a start with their juveniles this year and Albarino is also respected from a yard that know what they are doing with two-year-olds.
