Chief Scientist¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J R Best

28/1

12/1, encouraging sixth of 9 in novice over C&D on debut 11 days ago, fading late on. Should improve so enters calculations.

Form: 6

Elektronic

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: R Hughes

4/1

£62,000 yearling, Kodiac colt. Half-brother to useful 6f winner Loving A Boom. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class sprinter Equiano. Appeals on paper and yard can ready them so worth market check.

Form:

(8)

Galaticus¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Mrs A J Perrett

25/1

Hinted at ability when fifth of 6 in novice at Chelmsford City (6f, 50/1) on debut 12 days ago. Needs to step forward now though.

Form: 5

Ken's Boy⁶⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: W S Kittow

150/1

66/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Chepstow (6.1f, good) on debut 67 days ago. Lots to find.

Mutaraafeq²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Dane O'Neill| T: C Hills

3/1

Twice-raced maiden and modest form shown thus far, third of 9 in novice at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 21 days ago. Should progress but he needs to if he's to open his account.

Form: 93

(12)

Popmaster

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Edward Greatrex| T: E Walker

12/1

£18,000 yearling, Gutaifan colt. Brother to winner up to 7f Go Well Spicy. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Delphie Queen. Bred to be no back number so newcomer warrants respect.

Form:

(7)

Spark Of Magic²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: E J Walsh| T: L McJannet

80/1

150/1 but showed some promise when eighth of 14 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. Likely to improve.

Form: 8

(9)

Moment Critique¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: C G Cox

66/1

22/1, green when eleventh of 13 in Salisbury novice (7f, soft) on debut 19 days ago. Can do better but yard also have Night Narcissus in here.

Form: 0

Night Narcissus²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox

11/10

11/2, promising debut third of 8 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good) 25 days ago, keeping on well. Form has been franked and open to improvement so she holds leading claims.

Form: 3

(11)

Rosa Bonheur²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: H Candy

25/1

40/1, always behind when seventh of 14 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. Looks one for longer term.

Form: 7

Shaqeeqa^h1⁵⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: E A L Dunlop

16/1

Green and raced freely when ninth of 12 in novice (22/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) on debut 56 days ago. Hooded now and needs to settle better.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Night Narcissus (11/10), Mutaraafeq (3/1), Elektronic (4/1), Popmaster (12/1), Shaqeeqa (16/1), Purple Poppy (16/1), Galaticus (25/1), Rosa Bonheur (25/1), Chief Scientist (28/1), Moment Critique (66/1), Spark Of Magic (80/1), Ken's Boy (150/1)

NIGHT NARCISSUS rates the clear form pick on her Haydock debut third and with improvement very much on the cards she looks the one to beat. Purple Poppy showed up well when fourth over C&D last time so can give Clive Cox's filly most to do, although a market move for newcomer Popmaster would put a slightly different slant on things.
