Selected odds by:

(9)

Enjazaat¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows

1/1

Notable market drifter and awkward leaving the stalls when stone last on his debut in a soft ground Newbury maiden first time out. Having cost 115,000 guineas, it's hard to believe that represents his true level of ability and he could be worth another chance.

Form: 0

(6)

Immortal Romance

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: M L W Bell

9/4

Plenty to like on paper, being a half-brother to several winners, including the 5f to 7f scorer Copper Dock. Stable has enjoyed some juvenile success already this year, has to be respected first time out.

Form:

(3)

Macho Guest¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: G G Margarson

25/1

Hard to read too much into his debut over 6f at Nottingham (soft) because he was heavily eased after meeting interference. Cost 72,000 guineas, so there should be much more to come from him, though he is likely to want further.

Form: 7

(5)

Tony Soprano⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gavin Lerena| T: M Meade

8/1

Hasn't achieved a great deal in two maidens so far but has shown flickers of promise on both occasions. Plenty of scope for improvement but may be one for nurseries later on.

Form: 99

(4)

Zaaki

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: M Moubarak

10/1

Changed hands for 40,000 guineas as a yearling and is a half-brother to several winners. Likely to appreciate further in time so possibly best watched first time out.

Form:

(2)

Jan's Joy

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams

33/1

May filly who is speedily-bred out of a 5f juvenile-winning dam. Yard not noted for juvenile winners on turf, however.

Form:

(1)

Koin

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Joey Haynes| T: M H Tompkins

66/1

February filly who is a half-sister to several winners, most of whom came into their own over middle-distances. Yard not renowned for juvenile exploits and much more likely to be one for handicaps.

Form:

(7)

Retained

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Kieren Fox| T: J R Best

16/1

March filly who is a half-sister to several winners, including the 6f/7f winner Ballylare. Another who hails from a yard not renowned for two-year-old winners, so possibly best watched first time out.

Form:

Non-Runners

Zain Flash¹⁴

Weight: 9-2| Age: 2

T: P D Evans J: S De Sousa

Forecasts

Enjazaat (1/1), Immortal Romance (9/4), Zain Flash (3/1), Tony Soprano (8/1), Zaaki (10/1), Retained (16/1), Macho Guest (25/1), Jan's Joy (33/1), Koin (66/1)

Probably not the hottest two-year-old race to be run at Yarmouth and it could pay to give the well-bred Enjazaat the chance to atone for a horrible debut when possibly unsuited by the soft ground. Even so, there is plenty to like about IMMORTAL ROMANCE on paper and, providing the market vibes are positive, this looks a winning opportunity under Jamie Spencer. Zain Flash is better than he showed at Nottingham last time and also has to be considered.
