Deja³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G Mosse| T: J Noseda

1/5

Son of the smart Youmzain who made a decent start to his career when a close fifth in a Newmarket maiden five weeks ago. Yard has impressive 33% strike rate at this track so shouldn't be far away.

Form: 5

(2)

Eyecatcher

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Powell| T: S & E Crisford

13/2

150,000 guineas son of triple classic winner Camelot makes his raceourse bow here for yard enjoying a good spell of late. Market should guide to his chance in a decent race for the track.

Normandy Blue¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Sammy Jo Bell⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey

33/1

Looked green when only 12th on debut recently at Doncaster and this son of Le Havre may need more time before we see the best of him.

Form: 0

(7)

Onefootinfront⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: D M Loughnane

28/1

Sir Percy colt out of maiden dam. Not disgraced on racecourse bow at Haydock, but this looks a tough task and may do better once he goes handicapping.

Form: 5

(8)

Iconic Code

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: M R Channon

25/1

Sixties Icon half-sister to two winner at around a mile. Racecourse debut here and expected to be benefit from the experience unless market suggests she's ready to excel first time out.

Form:

(4)

Miss Mumtaz

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Manuel Fernandes⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll

7/1

45,000 guineas Lope de Vega filly setting foot on a raceourse for the very first time. Yard not known for debut maiden winners so seems unlikely to trouble the principals on this occasion.

Forecasts

Deja (1/5), Doswell (11/8), Eyecatcher (13/2), Miss Mumtaz (7/1), Iconic Code (25/1), Onefootinfront (28/1), Normandy Blue (33/1), Amenhotepthethird (100/1)

DOSWELL and Deja debuted in the same Newmarket maiden five weeks ago with the former doing best in running a fine second. The Giant's Causeway colt may agin just get the better of the argument, although Deja showed plenty of promise in fifth and looks sure to make a proper race of it. The other contender could prove to be debutant Eyecatcher, a son of the outstanding Camelot, who represents a stable do nicely in recent weeks and who have a 32% wining strike rate at this track.
