Selected odds by:

(1)

Drover¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: K Dalgleish

50/1

His two runs so far have been very modest and he needs this run for a mark and he'll more than likely be seen to better effect when sent into nursery handicaps.

Form: 66

(2)

Indian Admiral

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

14/1

55,000 guineas foal by Sepoy with the dame having been a winner up to 1m2f (won as a two-year-old over a mile). Juveniles from the yard are always worth looking at and they already have 40 winners in this age group on board.

(3)

Jungle Room¹⁷

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

10/3

Price shot up to 210,000 guineas when bought as a two-year-old and he showed plenty of ability on his debut at Doncaster despite finishing down the field. Handled with consideration on his debut and looks sure to have come on for that kindness.

Form: 7

(5)

Oriental Power⁶⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie

100/1

Now gelded he showed that he badly needed the experience when he was well held on his debut and faces an equally tough task here.

Form: 9

(6)

Regulator¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

4/5

Half-brother to several winners who shaped with a heap of promise on his debut at Beverley over 5f closing down the winner near the line having not been rushed into the race. That was all done under tender handling and he looks sure to be capable of better in the short term.

Form: 2

(9)

Rossall¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| BF

7/1

Well fancied on his debut (started 15/8 favourite) he didn't get the best of runs and looked to finish full of running having been handled with care during the race. Would be no surprise at all to see him win this especially with his yard going well and a very useful pedigree to back all of that up.

Form: 5

(7)

Tough Remedy²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 75| BF

13/2

Likely to be the more fancied of the two from this stable and has plenty of experience with three runs already under his belt. Looks as though he'll be suited by this step up to 6f after three runs over shorter and looks capable of better but does face a couple of more than useful types here.

Form: 235

(4)

Lady Cashmere

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rowan Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: A C Whillans

66/1

Half-sister to a smart winner up to a mile in Hillbilly Boy with the dam a 6f winner. Stable are 1/15 in the last five seasons with their juveniles and this one will be their first juvenile runner of the season.

Form:

Non-Runners

(8)

Party Fears Too

Weight: 9-2| Age: 2

T: J S Goldie J: D Nolan

Forecasts

Regulator (4/5), Jungle Room (10/3), Tough Remedy (13/2), Rossall (7/1), Indian Admiral (14/1), Party Fears Too (25/1), Drover (50/1), Lady Cashmere (66/1), Oriental Power (100/1)

A few useful types go head-to-head here and it looks to be the ones with experience who should hold sway here with the only newcomer looking capable of taking a part being Indian Admiral. Of those that have run Tough Remedy has had plenty of experience but may not have the potential of Jungle Room and Regulator who both showed a lot of ability and promise on their debuts. The same could be said of another once-raced type in ROSSALL who couldn’t justify favouritism on his debut but was never able to open up properly and will be suited by this 6f trip here.
