(1)

Pranceabootthetoon³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Osborn⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ryan

6/1

Made a winning debut when successful over 6f at Brighton (good-to-firm) a month ago. Came clear of his rivals on that occasion and an interesting runner in this contest.

Form: 1

(2)

Bobby's Charm²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: R M H Cowell

15/8

Finished fourth of eight when making his debut over 6f at Newbury (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Likely to have improved for the experience and one for the shortlist here.

Form: 4

(4)

Lucky Lucky Man¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey

16/1

Finished last of 11 when making his debut over 6f at York (good) a fortnight ago. Represents a leading stable but others make more appeal today.

Form: 0

(3)

Qaaraat⁶⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 79

6/4

Best effort came when third of six over 5f at Newmarket (good-to-firm) in early May. Filled the same position over an extended 5f at Bath (firm) next time and likely to run well once more.

Form: 433

(7)

Deviate¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe

12/1

Attempted to make all prior to weakening into 11th in a 15 runner 6f Newbury (good) novice contest on debut earlier this month. Drop in trip should suit here.

Form: 0

(5)

Ghepardo⁸³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

16/1

Beaten 1L into third on debut in a four runner event over 5f at Bath (firm) in May but well beaten in a much bigger field at Leicester (good-to-firm) eight days later. Interesting if repeating that debut effort.

Form: 30

(6)

Goldakoya

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Toby Eley⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane

100/1

Unraced daughter of Captain Gerrard out of a mare who was an 18 time winner at up to 1m7f. Probably best watched on racecourse debut.

Forecasts

Qaaraat (6/4), Bobby's Charm (15/8), Pranceabootthetoon (6/1), Deviate (12/1), Ghepardo (16/1), Lucky Lucky Man (16/1), Goldakoya (100/1)

BOBBY'S CHARM ran well despite showing signs of inexperience when making his debut at Newbury earlier this month and he is taken to get off the mark at the second time of asking here. Trainer Robert Cowell has a 17% strike-rate (3/18) of late and the selection can improve on that here at the chief expense of Brighton winner Pranceabootthetoon who has been a non-runner a couple of times since that debut success. Qaaraat is another to note having run well on all three starts to date.
