Boitron²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Hannon

1/2

€45,000 yearling who has some useful relations in his pedigree. 6/1 for his debut at Newbury but was pretty impressive in the way he dispatched his seven rivals. Should have learnt plenty from that and is a major player under the penalty.

Form: 1

(7)

Love Kisses

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T P O'Shea| T: C & M Johnston

8/1

Speedily bred son of Dream Ahead. Cost €52,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to French 5f winner Ardenode. Dam was a winner over 5f as a two-year-old and yards runners tend to know there job on debut. Likely type.

Off Piste^h,t¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: K Stott| T: T D Easterby

6/1

Cost 30,000 gns as a yearling and showed plenty of promise on debut when finishing fourth of 11 at Redcar (7f, good to firm). Hood and tongue-tie worn on debut are retained and should improve.

Form: 4

(4)

Pegasus Bridge¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: T P Queally| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

16/1

Camacho colt that has a nice pedigree. Cost £35,000 as a yearling. Blew the start on debut at Wolverhampton and was never involved. Should learn from the experience on now moves onto the turf for the first time.

Form: 9

(3)

Neileta⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

50/1

5,000gns foal, (22,000gns vendor yearling). Half-brother to French 1m/1m1½f winner Don't Tell Tales. Outpaced and green on debut at York. Shaping like this trip is going to be on the sharp side for now. Should do better in time.

Form: 9

(9)

Alfred The Grey³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: J Quinn| T: Miss Tracy Waggott

100/1

Yard not known for their juvenile runners and was 100/1 on debut at Carlisle when coming home last of eight beaten a long way. Others have more pressing claims at this stage.

Form: 8

(2)

Nostrovia²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Spencer

25/1

Alhebayeb filly, cost €16,000 as a foal and £30,000 as a yearling. Ran a little green on debut but should have learnt plenty from the experience. Type to do better at some stage, maybe in handicaps.

Form: 0

Dancing On A Dream^v1¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 73

7/2

0/6 so far but has gone close on a couple of occasions lately. The visor is now added in an attempt to eek out a little bit more to get that elusive first win.

She's Awake

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby

33/1

Daughter of Iffraaj who was a cheap purchase at just 5,000 gns. This trip may be a little on the sharp side given her pedigree and market will be best guide on debut.

Northern Lyte

Weight: 8-4| Age: 2

T: N Tinkler J: Faye McManoman

Forecasts

Boitron (1/2), Dancing On A Dream (7/2), Off Piste (6/1), Love Kisses (8/1), Pegasus Bridge (16/1), Nostrovia (25/1), She's Awake (33/1), Neileta (50/1), Northern Lyte (66/1), Alfred The Grey (100/1)

Dancing On A Dream has gone close on a couple of occasions and the visor is now reached for. Off Piste ran a race full of promise on debut and should be able to improve on that. This looks a good opportunity for BOITRON to follow up his debut success at Newbury before going on to better things.
