Basilicata

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

7/4

Third foal, and a half-sister to mile winner Firebird Song; some stamina on the dam's side as well, and she will want further than this in time; yard have made a good start with their 2yos.

Feathers

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

5/2

€45,000 as a yearling, that price dropping slightly from that as a foal; dam stayed 10f and was a a sister to a Group 3 winner; yard now starting to get going with their 2yos.

Form:

(4)

Jibber Jabber

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: J S Moore

25/1

First foal, but breeding not much to shout about, dam being a half-sister to a mile winner; yard rarely get first time out 2yo winners and others make more appeal.

Form:

(6)

Karluk River¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Aled Beech⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Bridger

66/1

Cost just £2,500 as a yearling, bred to have some speed about her, but showed very little on her debut at Lingfield and judging by the 200-1 price tag she was sent off, not a lot was expected either.

Form: 0

(5)

Rosemary And Thyme

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Morrison

6/4

Fourth foal, cost £30,000 as a yearling and is bred to have some speed about her, being a half-sister to a 6f winner in Barend Boy; yard tend to let theirs find their feet, but she is worth a look in the market.

Form:

Non-Runners

Spring Time Bay

Weight: 9-0| Age: 2

Forecasts

Rosemary And Thyme (6/4), Basilicata (7/4), Feathers (5/2), Spring Time Bay (8/1), Jibber Jabber (25/1), Karluk River (66/1)

As ever, the market will tell you plenty about their respective chances but on paper, it's FEATHERS and Basilicata that make the most appeal, and with Richard Hannon getting going with his string now, the former is taken to come out on top. Rosemary And Thyme may be best of the rest.
