(8)

Billy No Mates¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Makin| T: M Dods| D

5/1

Broke his maiden at the second attempt when winning a 6f contest at Ayr (good) earlier this month. Penalised for that success and is one for the shortlist once more.

Form: 61

(1)

Fognini¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 78| BF| D

2/1

Yarmouth winner over this trip on good ground a month ago and ran well to finish runner-up to Billy No Mates in similar conditions at Ayr last time. Strong chance of reversing that form.

Form: 312

(13)

Rum Lad²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 72

9/1

Signs of ability in three starts so far including when beaten 5L into fourth at York (6f, good-to-soft) a month ago. Worth a check in the market.

Form: 434

(15)

The Big House²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: N Wilson

66/1

held on both starts to date most recently when finishing ninth at Thirsk (5f, good-to-soft). Stepping up in distance but likely to be of more interest in handicaps.

Form: 89

(10)

The Grey Zebedee^b¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70

20/1

Placed on two most recent starts and beaten just 1L when finishing runner-up over this trip on the AW at Newcastle earlier this month. Likely needs to improve if he's to take this event however.

Form: 0632

(12)

General Mischief

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

12/1

Unraced gelded son of Dream Ahead purchased for €16,000 at the sales 11 months ago. Dam won over 5f on good-to-firm ground and market support would be interesting on debut.

Form:

(7)

Haadhir²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 70| BF

9/2

Run to a good level of form in four starts so far. Finished runner-up on the first two of those and likely to run his race once more.

Form: 2243

(9)

Jackamundo¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: D Carroll

33/1

Never involved prior to finishing 10L eighth in a 15 runner 5f novice event on debut at Beverley (good) recently. Others make more appeal.

Form: 8

(5)

Liquid Lunch¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey

6/1

Good efforts in two novice races to date the most recent of which came when 2L third to Billy No Mates at Ayr (6f, good). Interesting to see if he can improve on that on this occasion.

Form: 43

(4)

Sdh Dream Team

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby

33/1

Unraced gelded son of Epaulette bought for 9,000 gns at the sales last October. Half-brother to four time winner Marilyn and market support would be notable on debut.

Form:

(11)

Slieve Donard²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: A Elliott| T: N Wilson

100/1

Failed to beat a rival home in two starts over 5f. Much more needed on his first attempt at this distance.

Form: 50

(6)

Ey Up Its Mick¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Barry McHugh| T: T Coyle & K Wood

14/1

Slowly away when finishing fifth in a 6f event at Pontefract (good-to-firm) on debut earlier this month. Likely to have improved for the experience.

Form: 5

(3)

Where's Perle⁸⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: M Wigham

25/1

Finished runner-up over 5f on debut at Wolverhampton in May but absent since finishing 4L sixth over this trip at Chelmsford later that month. Making her turf debut following a break.

Form: 26

(14)

Preservation²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

50/1

Slowly away prior to finishing tenth in a C&D maiden held on good-to-soft ground at the start of the month. Probably best watched at present.

Form: 0

(2)

Rainbow Beach¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: S A Gray| T: R Fell & S Murray

66/1

Failed to beat a rival home when making her debut in 7f soft ground event at Thirsk recently. Drop in trip looks likely to suit.

Form: 0

FOGNINI represents a stable with a 30% strike-rate (9/30) in recent weeks and he is taken to reverse Ayr running with Billy No Mates in this competitive novice contest. The selection is a winner already having won at Yarmouth prior to that and he can register a second victory. Third place can go to Liquid Lunch who filled the same position in the aforementioned Ayr contest.
