Wasim^h1³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: I Mohammed| OR: 86| BF

5/1

Shock 33/1 winner on debut and showed that to be no fluke by running a big race in defeat at Haydock. Folded tamely at Doncaster last time when having plenty of use made of him. Hood fitted today but looks vulnerable under a penalty.

Form: 138

Caviar Royale⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fortune| T: B J Meehan

50/1

Signs of improvement last time but he still looks several pounds below the level that will be required to land this.

Form: 00

Immortal Romance²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: M L W Bell

8/1

Related to several winners and hails from a yard in form. Took a backward step last time but stable's youngsters do well here (3-12 and a further four placed) for a 22 points profit.

Form: 37

Jack Regan⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 75

15/2

Pick of his three runs came on debut after missing the break. Ridden more prominently since and has found little for pressure.

Form: 366

Scenery¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

10/1

14,000 gns son of Elnadim displayed some promise on Salisbury debut but still has plenty to find with Bombastic on that showing.

Form: 4

Speak In Colours³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: M Botti

9/4

Beaten only a head on debut at Nottingham last time on heavy ground, shaping with a great deal of promise despite running freely. The form looks weak but market support suggests he is well regarded. Engaged 5:40 Chelmsford Thursday

Form: 3

Lady Dancealot³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: D R C Elsworth

5/2

Sir Prancealot filly, bought for €30,000 as a yearling. Ran well on debut with cut in the ground but well beaten at Goodwood last time when relatively well-fancied. Bit to prove off the back of that effort but this looks easier.

Form: 37

(8)

Restless Rose

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Adam Beschizza| T: S C Williams

33/1

40,000 gns daughter of Power out of a speedy dam who won four races on quick ground. Conditions may be against her on debut and yard not associated with juvenile success.

Forecasts

Speak In Colours (9/4), Lady Dancealot (5/2), Bombastic (3/1), Wasim (5/1), Jack Regan (15/2), Immortal Romance (8/1), Scenery (10/1), Restless Rose (33/1), Caviar Royale (50/1)

Speak In Colours should improve on his debut effort on his second run for a yard whose horses often need a run. The form of his debut third has been taking knocks and BOMBASTIC has achieved much more in hotter company. He deserves a change of luck following solid runs at Goodwood and Salisbury. Wasim faces a stiff task under a penalty and Immortal Romance may be a bigger danger.
