Fenjal¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: H Palmer

6/1

ran well for a long way on debut at Ffos Las earlier in the month and likely to have learned a good bit from the experience. Worth noting in the betting but does need to improve a tad.

Form: 5

(2)

Four Mile Bridge³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Hills| OR: 75

5/1

ran well above market expectations last time and showed the first hints at justifying his 100,000 gns purchase price. A further step forward is required and has yet to race ground with the word soft in the description.

Form: 093

(4)

Moonlight Escapade¹⁴

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

28/1

Met a bit of trouble in running on debut so might have done a little better had he been granted a clearer run. Steps up a furlong, which ought to be ok judging by his breeding but more required.

Form: 7

(9)

Ramesses⁵⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

5/1

Yard won this race last year and have a terrific record at getting the best out of an improving type. The colt has C&D experience and crucially seemed to handle good to soft ground even though he was well beaten last time. Worth a betting check.

Form: 43

Sameem¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: J Tate| OR: 73

85/40

Caught a tad flat-footed when the winner kicked clear at Thirsk earlier in the month but stayed on to hold the rest in a pleasing manner. On the upgrade and more to come. Has to be considered as a player again here.

Form: 032

(1)

Slaithwaite¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: R Fell & S Murray

66/1

Never a factor on debut at Carlisle and already has improvement to find. This step up in trip[ may help but the Society Rock colt looks more of a long-term prospect and may do better when he goes handicapping.

Form: 0

(7)

War Chariot

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

3/1

Represents a top yard and highly respected connections; also appeals on breeding and is introduced at a modest enough level to be worthy if consideration. A positive betting move could be significant.

Fantastic Ms Fox²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

20/1

Slow to start on debut at Newcastle at the start of this month and never landed a blow as a result. Should have learned plenty form the run but is another who needs to find plenty of improvement. looks the yard's second string on this occasion.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Sameem (85/40), War Chariot (3/1), Ramesses (5/1), Four Mile Bridge (5/1), Fenjal (6/1), Ollivander (8/1), Fantastic Ms Fox (20/1), Moonlight Escapade (28/1), Slaithwaite (66/1)

SAMEEM shaped with promise during his latest start and, given that he's already been placed over C&D, the son of New Approach makes plenty of appeal in an ordinary looking heat. War Chariot is an interesting newcomer who represents a top yard, so has to be respected accordingly. While Ramesses and Olivander are others that have shown ability and merit a betting check at least.
