Bonsai Bay⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: P D EvansWS

40/1

Featured four times in bumpers where he finished just once in those starts. He was pulled-up last time at Market Rasen (2m½f). Has had a wind-op since and is set for his opening outing for his new yard. Best to watch for now.

Never To Forget¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: J Butler

10/1

Made his debut at Kempton (1m) on the AW earlier this month where he finished fifth of 12 runners after going off at 40/1. Entitled to have needed that opening run so is likely to better here. Others are preferred though.

Form: 5

(4)

Eloquent Style²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: I Furtado

33/1

Produced a promising performance on his debut at Redcar (7f) where he was fourth of 11. Was disappointing on his latest start at Newcastle (5f) though on his first appearance on the AW as he was last of eight. Up in trip but needs to improve.

Form: 48

(10)

George Junior³⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker

20/1

Has yet to make an impression on his two outings to date. He was sixth of eight on his debut at Ffos Las (7½f) and then finished 11th of 14 at Salisbury (7f). Has been gelded since and is set for his first run for his new yard. Best to watch.

Form: 60-

(5)

Hurricane Ali¹⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: J Mackie

10/1

Has been well-beaten on his two attempts so far. He was seventh of 11 on his latest start at Thirsk over 7f, 11L off the winner after fading with 2f to go. Needs to improve to be in the mix.

Form: 77

(9)

Kentucky Kingdom²⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Raul Da Silva| T: H J Evans| OR: 73| BF

11/1

Yet to prevail in four starts but he has gone really close on a couple of occasions, including when he was just a short-neck behind in third place of 10 at Newcastle (7f) on the AW. Needs to bounce back from latest at Kempton (1m) but is capable.

Form: 03-34

(8)

Levanter¹³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Bentley| T: H J L Dunlop

8/1

Finished eighth of 12 at Newbury (7f) on her opening career start. She did press the leader up until 2f out where she then faded down the field. Much more is needed here so others make a greater appeal.

Form: 8

(7)

Lilly's Legacy¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Fahy| T: Mrs N S Evans

100/1

Was a long way off the winner when she was fourth of five on her first start at Bath (1m) after going off at 66/1. Likely to find it even tougher in this bigger field on her second appearance. Hard to fancy.

Form: 4

(11)

Love Explodes^b1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S Donohoe| T: E F Vaughan| OR: 72

5/2

Is still a maiden after five starts. She was sixth of 10 last time at Thirsk (1m) on what was her handicap debut. Set for her opening appearance on this Tapeta surface and has blinkers on for the first time. One to think about.

Mac Jetes¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁵⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 61

9/1

Came close to her opening success last time when she was second of seven at Chepstow (7f), beaten by just a neck on what was her first run for her new yard. Up in trip where she is a serious player if he she builds upon her latest outing.

Form: 60-2

Monogamy^h1¹⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Meade

7/4

Has featured twice without success. He was third of 11 in an encouraging debut at Newbury (1m). Travelled too keenly last time at Sandown (1m2f) so ended up way down the field. Back down in trip and has a hood on for the first time. Big player.

Form: 3-0

Forecasts

Monogamy (7/4), Fortamour (7/4), Love Explodes (5/2), Levanter (8/1), Mac Jetes (9/1), Hurricane Ali (10/1), Never To Forget (10/1), Kentucky Kingdom (11/1), George Junior (20/1), Eloquent Style (33/1), Bonsai Bay (40/1), Lilly's Legacy (100/1)

MONOGAMY made an encouraging debut over this distance at Newbury. The trip was too far for her last time at Sandown where she did not settle. She looks capable of much more so take her to break her maiden at the third time of asking. Fortamour will need to concede weight all round as she was a winner at Newcastle on her last outing but she should still be fighting it out at the finish, while Love Explodes is worth including in your calculations on her Tapeta debut as she shouldn't be too far away in this company.
