Blackheath⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Tate| T: E Walker

5/1

Slowly away but signs of promise when finishing seventh of 12 on debut here last month. Non-runner three times since and interesting to see how he fares here.

Form: 7

(4)

Bombastic²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: E De Giles

11/4

Placed on both outings so far most recently when finishing a neck second in a competitive 14 runner 6f maiden at Goodwood (good) earlier this month. Likely to play a leading role in this.

Form: 23

(3)

Surfa Rosa¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

8/1

Signs of ability in two starts so far including over 6f at Chepstow (good) on debut. Dropping back in trip today having contested a 7f contest at Leicester (soft) last time.

Form: 57

(6)

Achianna²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S J Drowne| T: B R Millman

33/1

Well held fourth of five on debut at Newbury (soft) over this trip last month. Half-sister to a Grade 2 winner in the US but more needed if she's to take this.

Form: 4

(7)

Beyond Equal

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Edward Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: W S Kittow

14/1

Unraced son of Kheleyf purchased for £16,000 as a yearling 12 months ago. Dam successful three times on the AW but probably best watched on debut.

Form:

(1)

Scenery

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

6/1

Unraced Elnadim colt cost 14,000gns as a yearling last October. Half-brother to a couple of winners including 7f scorer Newnton Lodge and worth a check in the market on debut.

Form:

(8)

Bambino Lola³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: R Ffrench| T: A West

9/4

Made a winning debut over 7f at Lingfield (good-to-firm) and shaped well when finishing third on soft ground at Newmarket subsequently. Showed plenty of speeding when quickening clear of her rivals on debut and one to note dropping back to 6f.

Form: 13

(5)

Claudine

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Rosie Jessop⁽³⁾| T: H Candy

20/1

Unraced Zoffany filly purchased for £7,000 as a yearling last October. Dam successful on the Flat and over hurdles and market support would be interesting on her racecourse debut.

Forecasts

Bambino Lola (9/4), Bombastic (11/4), Blackheath (5/1), Scenery (6/1), Surfa Rosa (8/1), Beyond Equal (14/1), Claudine (20/1), Achianna (33/1)

BAMBINO LOLA can register her second victory by taking this competitive looking novice contest. The selection shaped as if this drop in trip wouldn't inconvenience her when winning at Lingfield on debut and she ran a good race in defeat on soft ground thereafter. Bombastic can repeat his debut second at Goodwood for Ed De Giles here while Blackheath, seventh on debut here can step up on that by claiming third today.
