Abbotside¹⁷

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

10/1

Gelded son of Mukhadram fetched 40,000 gns as a foal reduced to 28,000 gns as a yearling. Has raced to a similar level in two sixth placed finishes at Newcastle (AW) and a repeat performance would give him place possibilities.

Form: 66

Alibaba¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Shelley Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden

14/1

Never got involved on his June debut but kept on with more promise when fourth over a mile at Windsor this month. More needed again but a likely improver and holds place potential.

Form: 04

(6)

Magna Moralia¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

11/1

Struggled early in both his races so far while showing a similar level of form. That level would again make him an each-way hope but perhaps he'll be seen in a better light over further in handicaps.

Form: 47

First Impression

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R P Downey| T: J & S Quinn

16/1

Son of Make Believe cost €42,000 Fas a foal and €21,000 as a yearling; an 11th foal and a half-brother to eight winners including Listed juvenile winner Beringoer. Stable having a decent year with juveniles so worth a market check on debut.

(3)

Reggino

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

6/1

Son of Farhh and a second foal who cost £18,000 as a yearling. Represents a stable in very good form and have done well with a handful of juveniles this campaign. Well worth a check in the betting ahead of this debut.

Form:

(4)

Take That

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

8/1

Iffraaj colt fetched 50,000 gns as a foal and 20,000 gns as a yearling; a second foal to a dam who won over 7f as a juvenile. May need further in time but represents a strong yard who are well capable of readying a newcomer. Stablemate of Yoshimi.

Form:

(8)

Blue Lyte¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler

100/1

Cost just £1,000 as a yearling and poor in two well beaten efforts over 5f here, while only beating one rival home in the process. Up in trip but very hard to make any sort of case for.

Form: 60

Carriesmatic³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: A Mullen| T: T D Barron| OR: 58

28/1

Daughter of Passing Glance has been well held in three starts to date and sent off big prices on each occasion. This rates a bit easier but still plenty more required.

Form: 968

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 55p in the pound

Forecasts

Yoshimi (4/6), Reggino (6/1), Take That (8/1), Abbotside (10/1), Magna Moralia (11/1), Alibaba (14/1), First Impression (16/1), Carriesmatic (28/1), Blue Lyte (100/1)

YOSHIMI sets a good standard for his rivals to aim at from two starts so far and a simple repeat of that form would most likely be good enough. Stablemate Take That and in particular Reggino and First Impression are interesting newcomers who should be noted in the betting. Abbotside has shown enough in two runs to suggest he can sneak into a place.
