Bonnyrigg⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: A M Balding

15/8

Needed the experience when second of 5 to Jimmy Sparks in a C&D novice on his recent debut, and this half-brother to winners ought to go well with that run behind him.

Form: 2

(4)

Carbon Positive

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: R M H Cowell

12/1

US-bred colt who cost $45,000 as a yearling. Yard's juveniles usually better for the run, and owner has more obvious claims with Bonnyrigg.

Form:

(1)

City Code¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett

11/5

Son of Kodiac who shaped quite well when 8L fourth of 9 to Qaader at Newbury on debut. Winner ran well when runner-up in Coventry Stakes next time, so that form can be marked up.

Form: 4

(2)

Commonsensical

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe

10/3

Bated Breath half-brother to 6f winner Krazy Paving and 7f winner Havana Mariposa. Yard can ready a newcomer, and market a reliable barometer of his prospects.

Form:

(5)

Majd Al Arab¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: T P O'Shea| T: C & M Johnston

8/1

Knew his job when sixth of 7 to First Prophet on debut at Newbury, so that run must go down as disappointing. Should still improve, however, so can't be dismissed entirely.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Bonnyrigg (15/8), City Code (11/5), Commonsensical (10/3), Majd Al Arab (8/1), Carbon Positive (12/1)

BONNYRIGG makes most appeal on the basis of a promising debut when he showed signs of greenness. He's almost certain to improve, and gets the verdict over Newbury fourth City Code, who was facing a stiff task against subsequent Coventry runner-up Qaader. Commonsensical needs a market check for a yard with a decent record with its juveniles first time up.
