Kind Act²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| BF

4/9

Much better on second start when trying to make all at Chelmsford and only finding one too good. Clearly acted on the sand these and no reason to think he won't progress again. Looks a big player here, with trip no issue.

Form: 52

(5)

Rusper

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne

66/1

Newcomer from a yard that have the odd winner in the sphere, but rarely first time out and given he's likely to need the experience, others preferred.

Form:

(7)

Seaborough

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: F Sweeney| T: A King

80/1

No great stars in the family and breeding suggests this will be as far as he wants to go on debut. Yard 0-9 past year with 2-y-o's first time up and best watched.

Society Secret⁶⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe

66/1

Only went off 4/1 for debut here but was slowly away and never it it, finishing last. Clearly better was expected but may need more time and others preferred.

Form: 9

(8)

Staunch³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: J Noseda

9/4

Solid debut when looking a bit green but getting the hang of things late at Lingfield (wasn't well drawn either) and this step up to a mile looks sure to suit on breeding. Has to be looked at as a major player here.

Form: 2

(6)

Miss Mumtaz²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Manuel Fernandes⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll

10/1

Sound effort on debut over this C&D when second to long odds-on Deja, although form possibly not that strong. Outclassed at York last time and will find this easier. May go well at a price, and one to consider e/w.

Form: 20

Non-Runners

Cheeky Rascal²¹

Weight: 9-2| Age: 2

T: R Hannon J: K T O'Neill

Rasima¹⁸

Weight: 8-11| Age: 2

T: R Varian J: Harry Bentley

Forecasts

Kind Act (4/9), Staunch (9/4), Cheeky Rascal (7/2), Rasima (5/1), Miss Mumtaz (10/1), Rusper (66/1), Society Secret (66/1), Seaborough (80/1)

With a worry at the trip for Cheeky Rascal, STAUNCH is taken to improve on his Lingfield debut and score. He will know much more this time and can take the beating. Kind Act will set the target for them all to aim at and should give him most to think about. Miss Mumtaz and Rasima can fight it out for minor honours.
