Kassar⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton| D

5/4

Expensive purchase as a yearling but sent off a big price prior to winning a 1m maiden at Kempton at the start of last month. Form of that contest is working out well and he is likely to run well again today.

Form: 1

Elhafei

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden

6/1

Unraced son of Speightstown purchased for 525,000 gns as a yearling. Dam was a winner at two and he represents a leading stable today.

Key Player³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

16/1

Started a big price prior to finishing 9L second on his debut here last month but disappointed at Brighton subsequently. Interesting to see how he fares on his return to this venue.

Form: 25

Rajaam

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

7/1

Unraced Invincible Spirit colt cost 375,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to a couple of decent winners and represents a stable who do well with their youngsters.

Rhode Island¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| BF

3/1

Fair effort in finishing fifth having been sent off favourite for a maiden over an extended 1m at Nottingham (soft) earlier this month. Making his AW debut today.

Form: 5

Spring Ability²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L J Mongan

66/1

Stepped up markedly on his debut here when finishing a good fourth at Kempton over this trip at the start of the month. Likely needs to improve on that if he's to break his maiden in this contest.

Form: 04

Visor^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe

66/1

Unraced gelded son of Helmet out of a mare who was a winner over 2m on the AW. Probably best watched with a hood fitted for today's debut.

Dawn Dash³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett

33/1

Slowly away prior to finishing a well beaten last of ten in a 1m novice contest at Leicester (good-to-soft) on her debut last month. Stable had a few winners in recent weeks (4/21) but others make more appeal.

Form: 0

Outlane

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: L M Cumani

66/1

Unraced home-bred daughter of Camelot and a half-sister to dual Listed winner Bezique amongst others. Worth a check in the market on her racecourse debut.

Sweet Charity

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Fran Berry| T: D J Coakley

Unraced home-bred daughter of Mount Nelson out of a mare who was successful on debut at two. Interesting to see how she fares today.

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke

33/1

Unraced daughter of Makfi purchased for 70,000 gns as a two-year-old in the spring. Full-sister to the useful Bletchley and market support would be interesting on her racecourse debut.

Forecasts

Kassar (5/4), Rhode Island (3/1), Elhafei (6/1), Rajaam (7/1), Bedivere (14/1), Key Player (16/1), Sweet Charity (22/1), Dawn Dash (33/1), Villa Maria (33/1), Visor (66/1), Outlane (66/1), Spring Ability (66/1)

KASSAR can maintain his unbeaten record by following up his debut victory at Kempton in this opening 1m novice contest. The form of that particular contest is working out well and Roger Charlton's charge can get the better of Rhode Island who showed promise in finishing fifth at Nottingham on his debut recently. Elhafei, an expensive purchase at the sales last year is taken to claim third on his debut.
