Campion²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 79| D

9/1

Odds-on when winning over 5f at Bath in May, but well beaten over 7f last time. She should be happier back over the minimum trip, but the concession of weight all round will not be easy.

Form: 841470

Qaaraat^b1²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 77| BF

6/1

Fair level of form on all four outings, including when a close third at Wolverhampton last time on his first run since being gelded. Connections reach for the blinkers in an attempt to get his head in front for the first time.

Form: 4333

Spoof^h²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: C Hills| OR: 70

25/1

Four runs before being gelded after which he was a disappointing fifth of six at Sandown. The hood he wore for two of his earlier races is refitted and he has questions to answer.

Form: 52375

Avon Green¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Edward Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: J Tuite

12/1

Avonbridge filly who was sent off at 50-1 on debut over 6f at Windsor and showed good speed before fading late on. Drop back to 5f should suit and improvement is on the cards.

Form: 6

Bath And Tennis⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 75| BF

5/2

Placed on her first two starts before being out of her depth in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Did not get the clearest of runs last time and has fair prospects of losing her maiden tag in this company.

Form: 3205

(2)

Maygold²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker

10/1

Showed promise on debut at Newbury and again looked to have ability when third at Nottingham after fluffing the start. Looks capable of better if putting it all together and could go well at a price.

Form: 73

(7)

Time For Wine¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: P D Evans| OR: 72

11/8

Came within an ace of shedding her maiden tag at Sandown last time, having previously run well at Windsor. Jockey booking catches the eye and she is the one for the short list.

Forecasts

Time For Wine (11/8), Bath And Tennis (5/2), Fab (4/1), Qaaraat (6/1), Campion (9/1), Maygold (10/1), Avon Green (12/1), Spoof (25/1)

Maygold is a potential improver after showing promise on both starts, while Avon Green should appreciate this trip after showing speed over 6f on debut. The two to concentrate on, though, are Time For Wine and BATH AND TENNIS. The latter, down the field at Royal Ascot, was a little unlucky last time and this looks a winning opportunity.
