Gavin

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: B R Millman

50/1

Unraced Bated Breath colt out of a mare who is an unraced sister to the useful middle-distance performer Clowance. Likely to prove better over further in time.

Mark of The Man¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

6/1

Not beaten far when finishing third of five in a novice contest over this trip at Chelmsford just under a fortnight ago. Finished 6L fourth at Lingfield (6f) when making his debut prior to that and is one to note on turf debut.

Form: 43

Obtuse¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans

12/1

Best effort in two starts to date came when finishing 1¾L fourth in a 6f maiden at Wolverhampton last time out. Interesting contender on his first start at this distance.

Speedful²⁰

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

11/8

Ridden from off the pace when finishing fourth in a maiden over this trip at Kempton when making his debut just under three weeks ago. Strong claims for a stable with a 16% strike-rate (7/43) in recent weeks.

Form: 4

(6)

Sun Festival

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: M L W Bell

9/1

Unraced home-bred Toronado colt and a full-brother to winner Cranberry. Notable runner for a stable with a 17% strike-rate (2/12) with their juveniles on turf this season.

Form:

Baroness Rachael

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans

33/1

Unraced home-bred Poet's Voice filly out of a mare who won eight times on the Flat at up to an extended 1m. Worth a check in the market on debut.

Form:

(1)

In It Again

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans

66/1

Unraced Kodi Bear filly bought for £6,800 at the sales in September last year. Dam won four times over sprint distances and market support would be notable on debut.

Form:

(9)

The Yellow Mini

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: P Gundry

200/1

Unraced Cannock Chase filly and a half-sister to winners Ruby Wednesday and Caldi Mill. First two-year-old runner for a predominantly jumps orientated stable and others hold more obvious claims.

Form:

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 35p in the pound

Forecasts

Speedful (11/8), Paws For Thought (11/4), Mark of The Man (6/1), Doonbeg Farmer (7/1), Sun Festival (9/1), Obtuse (12/1), Baroness Rachael (33/1), Gavin (50/1), In It Again (66/1), The Yellow Mini (200/1)

DOONBEG FARMER showed promise when placed at Goodwood on debut and he can get off the mark at the second time of asking on his first attempt at this distance. The selection is bred to appreciate the step up in trip here and he can get the better of Paws For Thought who is another to have run well on his first racecourse appearance. Third place can go the way of Mark of The Man who is improving with racing.
