Chinese Whisperer¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: A King

20/1

Has been well held on both of his two appearances so far, with his latest outing coming at Kempton (1m) where he was ninth of 14 runners. Needs to take a huge stride forward here to be in the mix.

Form: 99

(7)

Colada Cove

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: T Ward

28/1

Harbour Watch colt who was foaled on April 19 and cost €28,000 as a yearling. His dam was unraced but is a half-sister to Blaine who was successful over 6f. Best to watch on his debut start.

Crystal Pegasus²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Louis Steward| T: Sir Michael Stoute| BF

11/8

Has shown some promise on both of his two starts to date. He was third of 10 on debut at Ascot (7f). while last time he came home second of seven at Newcastle (7f). Remains open to improvement. Leading contender.

Form: 32

(2)

King Of Arms

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden

7/4

Kingman colt who was foaled on April 19. He is a half-brother to a number of winners, including Sabratah who prevailed over 6f. He is an interesting newcomer who has to be respected, especially if there is market confidence behind him.

Form:

(3)

Kings Creek²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: A King

50/1

Has disappointed in both of his two starts so far. He had just one horse behind him in an eight runner contest at Ffos Las (7½f) on his debut, while he could only finish ninth of 12 at Kempton (7f) last time. Hard to fancy.

Form: 79

(8)

Kitten's Dream

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S P Davis⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey

20/1

Kitten's Joy colt who was foaled on February 17 and cost 130,000 gns as a yearling. His dam won over 1m as a two-year-old. He is a half-sister to 1m winner Siyaadah. Likely type on his opening appearance.

Form:

(6)

My Vision

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: S bin Suroor

4/1

Showcasing colt who was foaled on March 9 and cost 200,000 gns as a yearling. His dam won over 1m1f as a two-year-old in France. He is closely related to 7f winner Olive Mabel. One to consider on debut.

Savanna Gold¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: H Palmer

20/1

Finished 12th of 14 on his debut at Kempton (1m) earlier this month after going off at 22/1. He was at the rear end of the field throughout and could not quicken when he was asked to. Needs to improve on latest attempt.

Form: 0

Sefton Warrior³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S Donohoe| T: R Spencer

25/1

Came home eighth of 12 on his opening run at Yarmouth (7f) after starting at 9/1. Steps up in trip here on this second appearance where he needs to find much more to be in the mix at the business end of the contest.

Form: 8

Non-Runners

So Special⁴²

Weight: 9-0| Age: 2

Forecasts

Crystal Pegasus (11/8), King Of Arms (7/4), My Vision (4/1), Chinese Whisperer (20/1), Kitten's Dream (20/1), Savanna Gold (20/1), Sefton Warrior (25/1), So Special (25/1), Colada Cove (28/1), Kings Creek (50/1)

CRYSTAL PEGASUS has performed well on both of his two starts and can get off the mark here at the third attempt. He was second on the AW at Newcastle last time and should improve on that outing. Kings Of Arms is a well-bred colt who looks likely to perform well on his debut start, while My Vision is another horse who can be competitive here on his opening appearance so take him to fill the placings.
