Abbotside

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: J D Bethell

33/1

Son of Mukhadram gelded ahead of this debut. Fetched 40,000 gns as a foal reduced to 28,000 gns as a yearling. Stable have won with their sole juvenile AW runner this campaign so worth a market check.

Form:

(2)

Flames Of York

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke

16/1

Gelded son of Rock Of Gibraltar on debut. Cost 30,000 gns as a yearling and with stamina on both sides of his pedigree will need further in time. Stable among the winners with juveniles of late so worth a check in the betting.

Form:

(6)

Flylikeaneagle

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

3/1

Son of Free Eagle and a fourth foal to an unraced mare. Cost €25,000 as a yearling and a half brother to winners Chessman and Handbell. Powerful stable well capable of readying a newcomer and a likely type on paper.

Form:

(3)

Hooroo⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

8/1

Hallowed Crown gelding, cost £26,000 as a yearling. Slowly away before some late progress over 6f on debut. Extra trip should help but a fair amount of progress needed. Stable also runs Flames Of York.

Form: 5

(8)

Lyricist Voice

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G Mosse| T: M Botti

11/1

Son of Poet's Voice cost just 6,000 gns in January and a third foal. Stable has had one juvenile AW winner this year but percentage call is a watching brief on debut.

Form:

(5)

Morisco²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: Tom Dascombe

6/1

Requinto colt was a €45,000 purchase as a yearling. Looked the type physically who would need more time when green on recent turf debut but there was enough promise to suggest he'd hold place hopes in a race of this nature.

Form: 5

(1)

Ten Chants¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Louis Steward| T: E A L Dunlop

20/1

€32,000 Gregorian colt out of dam who won at 7f and a mile. Showed pace and not disgraced over this trip at Wolverhampton (AW) on debut. Form though isn't the strongest so a fair amount more required.

Form: 6

(9)

Trevie Fountain¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey

16/1

Fountain Of Youth colt cost 28,000 gns as a yearling. Represents a strong yard but was 25/1 and always out the back on his recent debut. Huge improvement required to be competitive.

Form: 0

(7)

Reclaim Victory³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison

5/2

Daughter of Helmet came from off a slow pace with a running on second over this C&D on debut. Only likely to improve for the run and in a quicker run contest. Form sets the standard of those with experience.

Form: 2

(11)

Sunshine Fantasy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: A Watson

15/2

Cost €60,000 as a foal and 42,000 gns as a yearling; 13th foal to a mare who was Group placed over this trip as a juvenile; half sister to 10 winners including the classy Flaming Spear, Desert Blossom and Taqseem. Likely type on debut.

Form:

(4)

Ten Thousand Stars

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: Adrian Nicholls

28/1

Toronado filly with plenty of stamina on her dam's side which suggests she'll need a fair bit further in time. Stable not known for AW two-year-old winners and best watched on debut.

Form:

Forecasts

Reclaim Victory (5/2), Flylikeaneagle (3/1), Morisco (6/1), Sunshine Fantasy (15/2), Hooroo (8/1), Lyricist Voice (11/1), Flames Of York (16/1), Trevie Fountain (16/1), Ten Chants (20/1), Ten Thousand Stars (28/1), Abbotside (33/1)

There was a lot to like about the debut of RECLAIM VICTORY and she has the best form by a reasonable margin coming into this contest. She'll get further in time but a quicker run race should suffice over this distance. Sunshine Fantasy really stands out among the debutantes. Bred to be precocious she represents a stable with a fine AW strike-rate with their juveniles this year. Flylikeaneagle is another to keep a very close eye on in the betting.
