Gravistas¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: C & M Johnston

8/11

Produced a respectable effort when staying on for second at Wolverhampton on his second start. A little outpaced on the turn for home that day and should improve for the step up in trip here.

Form: 62

(2)

Henry's Conquest¹⁶

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

25/1

Finished a long way behind re-opposing stablemate Gravistas at Wolverhampton on debut. Expected to step forward from that but second string on jockey bookings and may want even further than this.

Form: 6

(6)

Iron Mike

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish

18/1

Gregorian colt, cost €11,000 as a foal and €60,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to five winners. Dam a winner over this trip and half-sister to a Group 1 winner. Yard have hit form and respected on debut here.

Jimmy Krankyar

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Philip Prince⁽³⁾| T: R C Guest

50/1

Exchange Rate colt, half-brother to three winners including a Group 3 winner as a juvenile. Dam a winner over staying trips. Making debut here and others make more appeal.

Just Hubert¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: W R Muir

11/4

Stuck to his task well on debut at Goodwood when fifth of eight and showed plenty more at Kempton next time when runner-up. May do even better when tried over further but sets a solid standard here.

Form: 52

Tony Chestnut²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 71

5/1

Minor progress when building on his debut with a third placed effort at Brighton but didn't improve on that at Sandown last time. Needs to improve markedly for the step up in trip here.

Form: 537

Forecasts

Gravistas (8/11), Just Hubert (11/4), Tony Chestnut (5/1), Iron Mike (18/1), Henry's Conquest (25/1), Jimmy Krankyar (50/1)

This could be between Gravistas and JUST HUBERT and preference is for the latter after a much improved effort at Kempton last time. The former will appreciate the step up in trip while any market support for debutante Iron Mike should be noted.
