Bermuda Schwartz⁸

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

9/4

Has had two runs so far. Improved significantly from his debut outing when he was second of six earlier this month at Epsom (7f). Back down in trip but open to improve further so one for the shortlist.

Form: 72

(4)

Cosmic Power

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

4/1

Power colt who was foaled on April 4 and cost £22,000 as a yearling. He is a half-brother to Cosmic Law who won over 6f and El Dren who was successful over 1m. His dam was also a winner. Likely type.

Lin Chong¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: P & O Cole

6/1

Was slowly away on his debut at Newbury (6f) where did stay on strongly at the finish but could only come home seventh of nine. Should be better prepared this time with that experience. One to watch.

Form: 7

(9)

Malvern

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon

3/1

Outstrip colt who was foaled on February 21 and cost £38,000 as a two-year-old. His dam won over 5f which makes him an interesting newcomer here. Keep an out for any market confidence.

Passing Fashion

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: R M Beckett

9/2

Raven's Pass gelding who was foaled on February 19 and cost 38,000 guineas as a two-year-old. He is a half-brother to Mankini who scored at trips all the way up to 1m4f. One to watch on debut.

Form:

Royal Bassett

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: George Downing| T: R Dickin

66/1

Wootton Bassett gelding who cost 40,000 guineas as a two-year-old. Half-brother to Donnadream who won at trips up to 1m4f. His dam was successful over 7f. Will improve for the experience. One to watch.

Form:

Twittering¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J A Osborne

14/1

Was never in the race on his debut at Ascot (7f) where he finished 10th of 12. Down in trip slightly here on his second attempt. Needs to improve a lot from opening appearance to be in the mix.

Form: 0

Ohnotanotherone³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: F Sweeney| T: W S Kittow

100/1

Has been well held on her two runs so far. She was sixth of seven last time at Bath over the extended 5f trip when going off at 100/1. May do better once she joins handicap company. Difficult to make a case for.

Forecasts

Coase (5/4), Bermuda Schwartz (9/4), Malvern (3/1), Coastal Mist (10/3), Cosmic Power (4/1), Passing Fashion (9/2), Lin Chong (6/1), Nat Love (10/1), Twittering (14/1), Royal Bassett (66/1), Ohnotanotherone (100/1)

COASE is the standout runner in the race. Not only has he already tasted success, connections felt he was good enough to run in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. Went close to another win last time where he was just touched off. Great chance to add to his tally here. Bermuda Schwartz took a huge step forward on his second start to finish runner up at Epsom. He may well improve further so has to be given a chance, while Malvern is the pick of the newcomers on paper so it would be no surprise to see him go close first time out.
