Watchmyeverymove⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S C Williams| OR: 81| CD

10/1

C&D winner on debut was third despite a wide trip at Pontefract next up before a below par effort at Newmarket when he weakened into 10th of 11. Surely better that but will be tough ask again under a penalty.

Form: 130

(10)

Aristomachos¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: P & O Cole

16/1

War Command colt raced prominently on C&D debut two weeks ago before fading in the final furlong. Hopefully can improve as trainer's two-year-olds tend too but good bit to find.

Form: 0

(13)

Came From The Dark

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: E Walker

7/1

480,000gns newcomer by top two-year-old sire Dark Angel out of a Group placed 7f winner from a very fast family. Bred to be good at this sort of trip and jockey booking a major plus. Respected.

Dark Impulse¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: J J Bridger

100/1

Beaten a long way in all three starts including latest at 250/1. Likely to be similar odds here.

Form: 090

Golden Force³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 77| BF

11/4

Headed late on as favourite latest in a similar contest at Leicester after finishing second previously at Haydock. This possibly has more strength in depth but hard to envisage him not being thereabouts and rated a leading player.

Form: 522

(14)

Grey Hare²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: A W Carroll

66/1

Looked very green on racecourse bow at Brighton last month when a remote fourth of five. Major strides needed although hopefully know the job more this time.

Form: 4

(1)

In The Cove³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

6/1

Never able to land a blow on debut in a warm Newmarket novice contest although made some late headway. Trainer's two-year-olds progress well from their first run so no surprise if we see big improvement today.

Form: 7

(2)

Master Matt³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J F Egan| T: D P Quinn

50/1

Ran a little better than 125/1 odds on debut at Yarmouth over 7f before weakening in the final furlong. Drop to 6f should be in his favour so has an outside chance of making the frame.

Form: 7

(4)

Meraki⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Fran Berry| T: H Candy

50/1

Tailed off here on debut when running very greenly in June and hung under pressure next up at Newbury after making some headway. Given time since and has some ability but will need to have learnt a good bit more at home.

Form: 06

(3)

Mr Spirit⁶⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: G Mosse| T: C Hills

12/1

Invincible Spirit colt ran with promise at Newbury first time up although well beaten but was unable to build on that here next time up. Had quite a lengthy break since that so interesting to see if he fares better today.

Form: 06

(9)

Ragstone Cowboy⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

4/1

Far from disgraced on debut over C&D when a never nearer fifth of 12. Looked sure to improve for the experience there with nice progress when the penny dropped and could be capable of a bold bid today.

Form: 5

(11)

True Hero

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W J Haggas

8/1

Charm Spirit newcomer out of a 5f two-year-old winner from a good sprinting family. Trainer has a fine strike rate including with two-year-olds so certainly one to note in the market on debut.

Form:

(12)

Alexa Rose^t1

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

14/1

£65,000 two-year-old purchase by Distorted Humor is sister to a 6f-9f US winner and half-sister to two more winners stateside. Trainer's string in good form so worth watching the market here.

Form:

(8)

Love So Deep³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Bentley| T: R Hannon

20/1

Bred for 1m plus so drop to 5f latest at Thirsk looked against her although she stayed on nicely for fifth (of 12). Return to 6f much more suitable and looks a leading contender here.

Form: 05

Forecasts

Golden Force (11/4), Ragstone Cowboy (4/1), In The Cove (6/1), Came From The Dark (7/1), True Hero (8/1), Watchmyeverymove (10/1), Mr Spirit (12/1), Alexa Rose (14/1), Aristomachos (16/1), Love So Deep (20/1), Master Matt (50/1), Meraki (50/1), Grey Hare (66/1), Dark Impulse (100/1)

GOLDEN FORCE can go one better today after seconds at Haydock and Leicester, the latest seeing him headed in the last few strides. There are several rivals with the potential to improve and Love So Deep, one of two for Richard Hannon is certainly a likely type back to 6f. None of the newcomers can be ignored as all represent powerful stables but on paper Came From The Dark makes the most appeal.
