Pattaya¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

33/1

100,000 gns foal who fetched 375,000 gns as a yearling. Had some notable market support on debut and was outpaced early on when 4L ninth at Thirsk (6f, good) 12 days ago. Should improve for that but might fall just shy of the mark.

Form: 9

(6)

Cressbrook¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Nathan Evans| T: T D Easterby

20/1

Second foal and has an impressive pedigree. Slow start cost any chance on debut but showed likeable tenacity when staying-on fourth at Beverley (5f, good) this month. Likely there is more to come. Claims.

Form: 4

(12)

Mighty Mariachi¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron

125/1

First foal from 6f winner Lead A Merry Dance. Looked like he bumped into some smart sorts on debut when 10th of 12 in 6f Pontefract maiden (beaten 26L). More required at this level.

Form: 0

Nearly A Gonna¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby

11/1

Expected to improve plenty for his debut effort but still showed likeable signs when hampered fourth of 12 at Pontefract (6f, good) earlier this month. Had re-opposing rivals behind him that day and can progress once again. Leading contender.

Form: 4

(7)

Royd Edge¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Robinson| T: J & S Quinn

100/1

Quietly fancied to run well on debut effort but put in poor show when 11th of 12 behind some of today's rivals at Pontefract (6f) this month. In need of a bounce back from that.

Form: 0

Butterfly Lounge

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey

25/1

Equiano filly. First foal. Dam was a modest performer on the level, winning handicaps up to 1m and comes from the family of Sahkee. This is likely to be a sharp contest for belated debut.

Form:

(3)

Casilli²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: M & D Easterby

100/1

Cacique filly with some smart pedigree. Wasn't supported on debut effort and an accordingly when 12L seventh at Newcastle (6f) at the start of the month. This looks too tough for her once more.

Form: 7

(4)

Cuban Affair²⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: D Tudhope| T: R A Fahey

5/1

£40,000 yearling. Was expected to go nicely on her debut but disappointed when eighth of 11 at Catterick (6f, soft). Yard currently in a quiet spot but this ground should suit better.

Form: 8-

(2)

Huraa⁴⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: B Smart

2/1

12,000 gns yearling rleated to sprint winners. Dwelt on debut but picked up the bit well to take good second over C&D behind smart group performer in May 2019. Not seen since, but leading claims if replicating that form.

Form: 2-

(8)

Imperial Gloriana³⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 80| BF

15/8

Kept busy last year, running five times and placing on four occasions without winning. Took a backward step when third at odds-on at Musselbrugh (7f) in August, but should go well on comeback effort.

Form: 42323-

Moonlight Echo¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey

14/1

55,000 gns two-year-old. Didn't really show much spark on debut and weakened tamely to finish eighth, beaten 8L, at Haydock (7f) this month. Others possess better profiles and are preferred.

Forecasts

Imperial Gloriana (15/8), Huraa (2/1), Cuban Affair (5/1), Nearly A Gonna (11/1), Moonlight Echo (14/1), Cressbrook (20/1), Butterfly Lounge (25/1), Pattaya (33/1), Emerald Swalk (66/1), Casilli (100/1), Royd Edge (100/1), Mighty Mariachi (125/1)

A contest which matches up some experienced rivals against those less exposed, it may be worth taking a chance on on the three-year-old NEARLY A GONNA, who was arguably luckless on debut but still managed to put daylight between him and some opposing rivals. He looks the pick of a four-strong attack by Tim Easterby. His stablemate Cressbrook outran his odds on debut and looks the sort to do better in time so cannot be discounted. Imperial Gloriana is the most exposed but proved to be a model of consistency and sets the form standard, while Huraa poses an interesting profile, having not been beaten far by a Group 3 winner and subsequent German 1000 Guineas third on her debut at this venue.
