My Footsteps²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: T E Whelan| T: P W D'Arcy

50/1

Was a long way down the field in two bumper races at the start of his career. Made his debut on the Flat last time at Windsor (1m) where he could only finish ninth of 10 after going off at 100/1. Much more is needed.

Form: 9

Keep On Laughing^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: J Butler

16/1

Henrythenavigator filly whose dam was a maiden but a half-sister to Warming Trends who won over 1m. Wears the hood on her debut. One to watch.

Imajorblush¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Phil Dennis| T: P A Kirby

7/1

Has struggled on his two starts so far. Was not fancied to go well at Haydock (1m) last time when going off at 100/1 before finishing fourth of six. Needs to improve today on his return to the AW surface.

Form: 9-4

(1)

Mousquetaire^h⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁷⁾| T: D Menuisier

40/1

Has ran green on both of his two appearances so far, with his latest attempt coming at Lingfield (7f) where he came home fifth of the six runners. Going up in trip today so has to prove his stamina. Others makes more of an appeal.

Form: 05

Uzincso

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Butler

6/1

Mayson gelding who cost 26,000 as a foal. Is a half-brother to Voluminous who was successful over 1m3½f. His dam was lightly-raced but a sister to 1000 Guineas runner-up Spacious. Interesting newcomer. Look out for market support behind him.

Al Daayen⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: C Allen| OR: 49

9/2

Has had eight runs to get off the mark without success. Was last of 10 on his previous appearance at Yarmouth (1m) back in April on turf where she missed the break. First run for new yard. Improvement can be expected.

Angel Dundee¹³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby

40/1

Both of her two appearances have come at this track over shorter distances where she has yet to finish ahead of a rival. Went off at 100/1 last time over 7f in a 12 runner field. Up in trip today on first run for new yard. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 0-0

Mirabelle Plum¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brisland

12/1

Was slightly better last time on her second start at Hamilton (1m1f) where she was third of five after going off at 22/1. Open to improvement and is interesting on her first start on the AW. One to consider.

Form: 73

(8)

Starkers

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: Tom Clover

5/2

Mukhadram filly whose dam was lightly raced but out of a family which includes the Oaks winner Casual Look. Market confidence will be a big plus with regards to her chances on debut.

Form:

(11)

Two Faced¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: B Doyle| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 39

80/1

Has had seven opportunities to get off the mark and she has failed to shine in either of those those starts so far. Was last of seven on his latest appearance at Brignton (7f). Up in trip but difficult to fancy.

Form: 00-6809

(2)

Waterfall^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: L Wadham

4/1

Mukhadram filly who is a half-sister to a number of winners, including Thwart who scored over 1m3f and Monopoli who prevailed at 1m2f. Has the hood on on her debut. Interesting newcomer who should be a leading player.

Forecasts

Starkers (5/2), Waterfall (4/1), Al Daayen (9/2), Uzincso (6/1), Imajorblush (7/1), Mirabelle Plum (12/1), Keep On Laughing (16/1), Mousquetaire (40/1), Angel Dundee (40/1), My Footsteps (50/1), Two Faced (80/1)

This does not look to be the strongest of novice races, therefore, it presents a great opportunity for the well-bred WATERFALL to get off the mark at the first attempt, as long as she handles the occasion. Al Daayen ran like something was wrong with her last time at Yarmouth, she should bounce back from that and is the most experienced runner in the field which should help her, while Mirabelle Plum is capable of more than she has shown so far in her two starts so expect an improved performance today.
