Silvestris⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

6/1

Bobby's Kitten colt bought for €13,000 at the sales last September; seventh of eight in minor event at Ayr (6f, heavy; 7-1) on debut eight days ago. May improve on that showing.

Form: 7

(5)

Eagles Dare¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: D J Coakley

6/1

Sales price dropped from 11,000 gns to 8,000 gns as a yearling; finished fifth of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW; 18-1) on debut 13 days ago. Contender if progressing now switched to turf.

Form: 5

Mark Of Respect⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: J G Portman

7/2

Markaz colt; well held in two runs thus far over 7f on all-weather/turf; needs a sizable step forward back on grass and up in trip.

Form: 86

Master Of Brazil^p1⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 69| BF

6/5

Half-brother to five winners over a variety of trips ranging from 5f/6f/7f-2m2f; placed in all three runs thus far at 7f/7½f; competitive again with first-time cheekpieces to aid.

Form: 232

Pearl Of Wisdom

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: J Tate

6/1

8,000 gns yearling, New Approach filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m4½f), half-sister to useful 6f winner La Chunga. Worth a look on debut in what isn't the strongest contest.

Form:

(6)

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁷⁾| T: R Brisland

50/1

Adaay filly, eleventh of 14 in maiden at Chepstow (7f, good to firm; 150-1) 23 days ago on second start; cheekpieces added now but lots of improvement to find.

Forecasts

Master Of Brazil (6/5), Mark Of Respect (7/2), Silvestris (6/1), Eagles Dare (6/1), Pearl Of Wisdom (6/1), Boccherini (8/1), Lobesi (50/1)

This is far from strong and so any traction in the market for newcomer Pearl Of Wisdom would be worth heeding. On form, MASTER OF BRAZIL looks the best-placed. He's finished in the money on all three starts and won't have to improve much for the fitting of cheekpieces to land this prize. Eagles Dare and once-raced Silvestris are open to progress.
