(1)

Escape The City²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 80

5/2

Quite consistent in seven starts, winning one of them over 7f at Redcar. Ran well at Wolverhampton last time, tries 1m for the first time and enters calculations.

Form: 421403

(4)

Knight Errant

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: W Jarvis

25/1

So You Think colt who fetched only 6,000 gns as a yearling but is a half-brother to eight winners from 7f to 1m4f. Likely to need this debut experience, but is worth watching with the future in mind.

Form:

(3)

Paddy The Chef²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S Donohoe| T: Ian Williams

1/1

Cost €10,000 as a yearling and is a Dandy Man gelding out of a 1m AW winner. Outran odds of 100-1 when fourth of 14 on debut at Kempton and can get involved granted normal improvement.

Form: 4

(2)

Sir Hamilton⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: D P Quinn

12/1

Canford Cliffs colt whose price dropped to 14,000 gns as a two-year-old. Not disgraced in mid-division on debut at Newmarket and should do better if taking to the AW.

Form: 7

(5)

Angelina D'or⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

7/2

Promise on debut at Wolverhampton and duly stepped up on that when second at Newcastle. Could take the beating in receipt of weight from all her rivals.

Form: 42

Forecasts

Paddy The Chef (1/1), Escape The City (5/2), Angelina D'or (7/2), Sir Hamilton (12/1), Knight Errant (25/1)

Escape The City's experience will stand her in good stead on this step up to 1m, while Paddy The Chef should improve on his debut effort and Sir Hamilton showed abilty on his racecourse bow. The selection, though, is ANGELINA D'OR, who has shown a fair level of form, acts on the AW and receives weight from her rivals. Knight Errant is an interesting newcomer.
