Better The Devil²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 80| D

15/8

Has a dirt pedigree so interesting here for a yard who are 14-32 with AW juveniles in 2019. Scored at Hamilton on debut and the Windsor Castle may have come too soon. Better under his penalty last time and a leading contender here.

Form: 103

Streamline^h¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| D

4/5

Came off a strong pace to upset an Archie Watson hotpot at Bath. Looked green that day and the hood is retained. Will benefit from the lead his main rival will provide here should he prove as effective on the artificial surface.

Form: 1

Force Of Impact²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: Paul George

16/1

Cheaply bought Lethal Force colt out of a dam who won over 6f. Showed some speed on debut but not enough to suggest he will trouble the principals.

Form: 7

Simply Silca

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

14/1

£20,000 Showcasing filly out of a lightly raced half-sister to two Group winners. Yard 4-50 with this age group in 2019 and their youngsters generally need a run.

Treaty Of Dingle⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Charlie Bennett| T: H Morrison

16/1

Looked green on debut and took a giant leap backwards at Windsor last week where she was soon struggling. Receives plenty of weight but hard to recommend on that performance.

Form: 66

Capla Spirit

Weight: 9-0| Age: 2

T: Miss Gay Kelleway J: Tom Marquand

Forecasts

Streamline (4/5), Better The Devil (15/8), Simply Silca (14/1), Force Of Impact (16/1), Treaty Of Dingle (16/1), Capla Spirit (20/1)

This looks to rest between the two previous winners BETTER THE DEVIL and Streamline. The latter was easy to back on his debut when he eventually got the better of an odds-on favourite who is a stable companion of the selection. Archie Watson will have a good line on the form therefore and the Hamilton winner gets a marginal call given his pedigree is more geared to an artificial surface than his rival.
