Black Sparrow

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁵⁾| T: P S McEntee

80/1

Unraced Swiss Spirit filly purchased for 14,000 gns as a yearling last October. Half-sister to a couple of winners but is probably best watched on her first racecourse appearance.

Colorando¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Quinn| T: M Botti

7/4

Showed plenty of promise when finishing 7½L third to an impressive winning debutant in a 6f maiden at Lingfield earlier this month. Likely to have improved for the experience and holds strong claims in this contest.

Form: 3

(3)

Fields Of Berries¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J L Eyre

11/1

Slowly away and shaped as if she'd improve for the run when finishing 8L last of nine in a 6f maiden at Newmarket (good-to-firm) on debut earlier this month. Interesting runner for a yard with a 33% strike-rate (2/6) in recent weeks.

Form: 9

(12)

Pump It Up

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: R Spencer

22/1

Unraced home-bred Charming Thought filly out of a mare who ran three times without success. Interesting to see how she fares from a wide draw on debut.

You've Charmed Me¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Adam J McNamara| T: A Watson| BF

11/4

Sent off favourite when finishing 5½L third in a 5f maiden at Lingfield on debut earlier this month. Yard do well with their juveniles and can boast a 29% strike-rate (10/34) in the last fortnight.

Form: 3

Baby Sham¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: S C Williams

12/1

Well held eight of nine in a maiden over this trip at Newmarket (good-to-firm) when making her debut at the start of this month. Others hold more obvious claims on this occasion.

Form: 8

(7)

Julie Johnston¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

11/4

Showed ability when finishing 5¾L sixth in a 5f novice event at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) when making her debut two weeks ago. Likely to appreciate this step up in distance and is of interest in this event.

Form: 6

(8)

Twentysharesofgrey¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dow

40/1

Beaten 22L when finishing ninth of ten in a maiden race over this trip at Lingfield on debut earlier this month. More needed if she is to break her maiden in this race.

Forecasts

Colorando (7/4), Julie Johnston (11/4), You've Charmed Me (11/4), Copinet (8/1), Emotional Moment (10/1), Fields Of Berries (11/1), Baby Sham (12/1), Pump It Up (22/1), Pakinam (25/1), Flora's Aura (33/1), Twentysharesofgrey (40/1), Black Sparrow (80/1)

A competitive looking novice event that can go the way of JULIE JOHNSTON who looks likely to appreciate the extra distance here having run with credit in a competitive looking event over 5f on debut. You've Charmed Me finished third on her only start to date and can claim second spot ahead of Colorando who finished third to a useful looking rival on debut.
