Amadeus Grey^t⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 82

11/4

Lightly-raced sort who remains a maiden but still has already gained a rating of 82 having run 2nd off a 6lb lower mark on his handicap debut. Benefitted from a positive ride there and a return to 7f and well placed to go forward again here.

Form: 62252

(4)

Caballero²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: K Dalgleish

5/2

Very green on his debut he had clearly learnt plenty when next seen at Ayr over 6f running a couple of useful types close (Amadeus Grey in 5th). This will be his first try over 7f (bred to be suited by the trip) and has a leading chance.

Form: 53

(2)

Flint Hill⁵⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: M Dods

9/4

Only had the two races so far but made progress from his debut run when next seen over 1f further also at Carlisle. Only beaten by a promising newcomer on that occasion who has since run well in better company he steps up to 7f now; place chance.

Form: 72

(6)

Magic Groove¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan

50/1

From a powerful yard who have plenty of two-year-old winners but he looks one of their lesser lights judged on his two runs over 6f. Now stepped up to 7f for the first time and not hard to give others more chance here.

Form: 97

(1)

Patchouli⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: T Eaves| T: M R Channon| OR: 80

6/1

Having looked clueless on her debut (failed to handle track) she fared much better when taking a weak race on her second start seen out again quickly. Given a beak after that she was highly-tried last time in Listed company and will find this easier.

Form: 816

(5)

Mrs Hoo²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey

12/1

Just the one run to her name so far over 7f at Carlisle she offered something to work on (lacked fitness and experience). Still faces a relatively stiff task in this but does look capable of better in time.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Flint Hill (9/4), Caballero (5/2), Amadeus Grey (11/4), Patchouli (6/1), Mrs Hoo (12/1), Magic Groove (50/1)

The form shown by CABALLERO on his second start at Ayr marked he out as one to note for the future and with this trip looking sure to suit him he’s taken to confirm form with Amadeus Grey who was 5th that day. Flint Hill could well be one to outrun his price given the fact that he’s shown some good form against some useful types (Cosmic Law and Nate The Great) while Patchouli will appreciate this ease in grade having faced a tough task in Listed company on her last start.
