Showmedemoney¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: A Watson

10/3

Divine Prophet colt who shaped with plenty of promise when fourth of 11 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good, 12/1) on debut 18 days ago. Open to improvement.

Form: 4

(6)

Berry Quick²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey

40/1

Twice-raced maiden. 11/1, couldn't even match debut form when fifth of 8 in minor event at Ripon (5f, good to soft) 24 days ago, beaten over 1f out. Big step forward required.

Form: 25

(2)

Danger Close¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁵⁾| T: P S McEntee

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, last of 12 in minor event at Leicester (5f, soft) 14 days ago. Difficult to make a case for.

Form: 50

(3)

Global Mirage²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: C A Dwyer

17/2

Mayson filly who showed plenty to work on once the penny dropped when second of 7 in minor event at Kempton (5f) on debut 26 days ago. Open to improvement.

Form: 2

(4)

Little Prayer²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: R Spencer

20/1

16/1, ran to just a poor level when last of 8 in maiden at Ascot (5f, good to soft) on debut 24 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Big step forward needed to feature.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Dig Two (1/1), Showmedemoney (10/3), Brilliant News (4/1), Global Mirage (17/2), Little Prayer (20/1), Fast Style (25/1), Berry Quick (40/1), Danger Close (125/1)

DIG TWO left his debut effort well behind to score at Newmarket earlier this month, briefly looking ill at ease on the track but rallying to lead late on. He looks the type to progress again and should be capable of going in again here under a penalty. The main danger could be Showmedemoney, who was doing his best work at the finish on debut 18 days ago, ahead of newcomer Brilliant News.
