Formative^t1⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: G Lee| T: N Wilson

66/1

Last of nine beaten 100L on his debut in a Market Rasen bumper in April. Half-brother to a 7f winner and dam scored over 7f-1m in France. She is also a half-sister to a couple of winners from 1m-1m4f, so this trip may suit, though probably one to watch on her Flat debut.

Rip N Roar²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover

66/1

Has shown very little in one run for William Haggas and his most recent for this yard after a lengthy absence. This step up in trip looks positive and we could see a much better effort this time. Has so far raced only with cut in the ground.

Form: 7/9

Sir Runs A Lot²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: A Mullen| T: T D Barron

50/1

Continues to bely his name, having raced only twice to date and did much better in the first of those (a Southwell maiden last year) than when reappearing over 1m at Thirsk (good to firm) last month (beaten 16L). Step up in trip should suit and some improvement is anticipated.

Form: 5-7

Kilowatt¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76

8/1

Is making steady improvement in this sphere. Was runner-up, beaten 5L, over C&D in April (good) and occupied the same berth when beaten 1½L at Thirsk (1m4f, soft) last time. If maintaining that upward curve now returned to this trip then he should again be in the shake-up.

Form: 822

Maratha^v¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S De Sousa| T: S & E Crisford

6/4

Runner-up in both starts so far over 1m, the latest being his first on turf (good to soft) at Nottingham last month. Although nothing close to him that day has yet raced again, the right horses in the market were in behind him, so it looks solid in context and if he can master his wide draw then he looks to have decent claims now stepped up in trip.

Form: 22

Mount Rock³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Sullivan| T: M & D Easterby

16/1

Improved marginally for his debut when stepped up to 1m at Thirsk (good) in April. Step up in trip looks a positive on pedigree and he should be capable of getting involved, though looks a likely type when going handicapping.

Form: 4-5

(2)

Northwest Frontier

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

9/1

Half-brother to a 6f 2yo and 1m Listed winner in Amazonas and out of a Listed-placed 6f 2yo winning mare, who is a half-sister to a US Grade One winner over 1m½f. Pedigree suggests that this is plenty far enough for his debut, but he is by Galileo, so there is clearly hope in that respect. Market check strongly advised for one representing top yard.

Form:

(9)

Strong Belief

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P Makin| T: C Appleby

6/1

€65,000 foal, increasing to 180,000 gns as a yearling. Second foal on a once-raced half-sister to US 1m4f Grade Three winner Niagara Causeway and to 7f/1m winner Thiella (dam of a 6f Group Two winner), out of 7f 2yo Group Three winner. Yard's three-year-olds hitting a 22% strike rate on turf this season and he looks likely to make a decent debut.

Form:

(7)

Circulation²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Fran Berry| T: R M Beckett

9/4

Oasis Dream filly and a half-sister to same connections' high-class performer Twice Over. Dwelt in rear and green for long enough on debut before getting the hang of things at Salisbury (1m2f, good to soft) and going down by just a nose. Should be capable of making significant progress for that experience.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Maratha (6/4), Circulation (9/4), Nathalie (9/2), Strong Belief (6/1), Kilowatt (8/1), Northwest Frontier (9/1), Mount Rock (16/1), Sir Runs A Lot (50/1), Formative (66/1), Rip N Roar (66/1)

An interesting end to the card and one in which CIRCULATION gets the vote. Her form on paper may not looks quite as strong as that of Nathalie's Beverley run, but the selection ran plenty green enough before only just failing to get up and she may be able to make the greater improvement of the pair. Strong Belief and Northwest Frontier are other interesting newcomers, while Maratha and Kilowatt looks the best of the others with racecourse experience.
