Arriba De Toda²¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison

66/1

25-1 and well held on debut at Pontefract in April. Has been given time, and stable's runners often improve a fair bit for their first run, so probably worth a precautionary market check.

Form: 8

(1)

Daarik¹⁹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden

5/2

7-2 but ran green and finished a disappointing last of 10 on debut at Nottingham (6f) in May. Given that SP, it is probably fair to assume that there is a fair bit more ability within, so it would be no surprise to see a much better effort.

Form: 0

(3)

Gylo

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Garritty| T: D O'Meara

25/1

€45,000 yearling. Half-brother to winners Character Witness (1m AW) & Jumping Jack (7f-1m½f inc at two/AW and 2m hurdle). Dam 6f-1m1f winner (inc at two). Market check on debut.

Form:

(9)

Half Full²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: M & D Easterby

40/1

100-1 and finished ahead of just one of his 14 opponents on debut, when beaten 19L at Redcar. Can only watch.

Form: 0

(13)

High Contrast³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke

20/1

Not devoid of promise on debut over C&D last month, but well below that level just six days later back here over 7f. Could get competitive if able to bounce back.

Form: 69

(5)

Hooflepuff

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Winston| T: R M H Cowell

20/1

£60,000 yearling. Half-brother to winners Royal Julius (7f-1m½f inc at two/Italy Group 2) & Stellar Speed (Czech 1m2f). Dam unraced half-sister to 1m2f Gr 1 winner Goldamix (at two). Likely to do better over further, but market check suggested.

Form:

(12)

Wearraah²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: A D Brown

200/1

Has gone off at 66-1 and 100-1 in his two starts, being well beaten in both. Watch.

Form: 05

(11)

Caustic Love³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: G Lee| T: K Dalgleish| BF

14/1

3-1 joint favourite and was doing her best work at the finish when 3½L fifth on debut at Catterick (6f, soft) last month. Should be a bit more streetwise now and wouldn't rule her out of the frame.

Form: 5

(14)

Dreaming Away²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: F Norton| T: S & E Crisford

15/2

11-4 and beaten under 3L when sixth of eight on debut at Wolverhampton (6f) last month. Should improve for that and probably join battle for minor honours.

Form: 6

(10)

Fabiolla²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

10/11

Went close on debut at Yarmouth (6f) in October, before a 3L third at Kempton (7f) last time. Drop back to 6f looks a good move and she should be a leading player.

Form: 23

(6)

Galley Gold³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Paula Muir⁽⁵⁾| T: M Dods

100/1

Well held in two runs on soft ground so far. Might appreciate a try on this sort of surface, but has much to find on what we have seen.

Form: 00

Ora

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: A Mullen| T: M Dods

66/1

Eighth foal. Half-sister to four winners, the best being Perfect Polly (5f-6f inc at two/Listed), while two others won as juveniles. Dam 5f 2yo winner. Pedigree and stable's good form both point to a decent debut for this filly.

Pandora Star²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

100/1

Not without promise so far, but looking more a handicap prospect than the winner of this.

Form: 57

(8)

Rebeljustforkicks^h²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: Paul Collins

200/1

Hasn't shown much in two starts. Best watched.

Forecasts

Fabiolla (10/11), Daarik (5/2), Dreaming Away (15/2), Caustic Love (14/1), High Contrast (20/1), Hooflepuff (20/1), Gylo (25/1), Half Full (40/1), Arriba De Toda (66/1), Ora (66/1), Pandora Star (100/1), Galley Gold (100/1), Wearraah (200/1), Rebeljustforkicks (200/1)

Daarik clearly didn't achieve what had been anticipated on debut, but he could do much better this time and a win would be no great shock. However, he does have a bit to prove and preference is for FABIOLLA, form whom the return to 6f should prove beneficial. Ora is a very interesting newcomer, with Caustic Love and Dreaming Away others to consider.
