Drakefell²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

10/11

Ran well in two starts so far including when third over C&D on last months debut. Decent effort when fifth subsequently and this return to 5f looks likely to suit.

Form: 35

(4)

Hornby¹⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: M J Attwater

66/1

Well held in two outings in the spring. Gelded since but probably best watched on his first outing in over four months.

(2)

Dubai Silk

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: R M H Cowell

9/1

Unraced home-bred daughter of Helmet. Dam was a winner three times over this trip and she is worth a check in the market on her racecourse debut.

May Spirit⁶⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Blanshard

100/1

Well held in two outings on turf earlier this year. Most recent of those came over 7f at Brighton (good) in September and others make more appeal.

Form: 87

(3)

No More Commisery⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: M Quinn

6/1

Fair effort when fourth over this trip at Kempton in September. Missed an an engagement over this C&D since and interesting to see how she fares today.

Form: 4

(6)

Perambulation

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: W S Kittow

33/1

Unraced daughter of Stimulation and a half-sister to moderate maiden Love In The Dark. Probably best watched on her debut.

Forecasts

Drakefell (10/11), Choice Encounter (7/2), Mosseyb (9/2), No More Commisery (6/1), Dubai Silk (9/1), Perambulation (33/1), Hornby (66/1), May Spirit (100/1)

Debutant MOSSEYB represents the in form (8/21) William Haggas stable and the expensive yearling can make a winning debut in this two-year-old novice contest. The selection is likely to prove better over further in time but can get the better of Choice Encounter who has shown a decent level of form in four starts so far and returns from a break today. The drop back in trip looks likely to suit Drakefell and he is taken to claim third.
