Arabian Moon¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett

9/2

Third over C&D on debut last month and created a favourable impression; her dam was a well-bred handicapper who stayed 7f on her only try a the trip. Will be wiser this time and probably more to come. Yard is in good form so merits a betting check.

Form: 3

(5)

Hexagon³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 79

6/4

Shown promise in each of his three previous starts and sets the BHA standard at present. Yet to encounter cut in the ground, so a little to be taken on trust on that score, but entitled to respect. Worth considering.

Form: 623

(3)

Jack Ruby¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

12/1

Some appeal on pedigree but was never in contention on debut at Sandown last month and needs to have come on an awful lot from that run if he's going to trouble the judge this time. Only strong support in the betting would tempt a recommendation.

Form: 6

Ventura Bounty²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

11/8

A €98,000 yearling who ran with a lot of promise when finishing second on debut at Nottingham; looks the pick of the yard's pair of intended runners and likely to have a big say here.

Form: 2

(4)

Stop Going On

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P D Evans

16/1

A half-sister to a more stoutly-bred type than most of the rest; likely to be sharper for the run and might just be best watched this time.

Forecasts

Ventura Bounty (11/8), Hexagon (6/4), Arabian Moon (9/2), Jack Ruby (12/1), Stop Going On (16/1)

VENTURA BOUNTY ran with a lot of promise on debut and looks a safer option than stablemate Jack Ruby on this occasion. Hexagon is the only one with a current BHA rating and sets a reasonable standard, so has to merit a betting check, while Arabian Moon runs for an in-form yard and is expected to be wiser now he has a the benefit of a run behind him, so he too can also make this a good test for the selection.
