Cowboy¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C & M Johnston

12/1

Looks the type to do better in time but not enough encouragement on debut at Newcastle to think he can feature in this.

Form: 6

(1)

Forward Flight²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: A King

9/1

Has an above-average US pedigree and offered plenty of encouragement when mid-field in a Newbury novice first time out, finishing with running left under a considerate ride. More to come.

Form: 5

(5)

Gibside

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: T D Easterby

28/1

Foaled March 12. £28,000 yearling, Time Test colt. Half-brother to 1m-9.4f winner Overheer.

Point Lynas²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 77

9/1

Fair form to this point but doesn't appear to be progressing, only sixth in a novice at Salisbury last time. Vulnerable to those with more potential.

Form: 6036

Triple Time³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K A Ryan| BF

1/4

Bred to be smart and, following a promising debut, found only one too good over 7f at this track last time. That form has a very strong look to it, so he's worth a chance to go one better.

Form: 32

Taj Alola¹⁶

Weight: 9-5| Age: 2

T: K R Burke J: C Lee

Bababobo¹⁰

Weight: 9-2| Age: 2

(8)

Thunder Legend¹³

Weight: 9-2| Age: 2

T: H Palmer J: Louis Steward

Forecasts

Triple Time (1/4), Taj Alola (10/3), Thunder Legend (5/1), Bababobo (13/2), Point Lynas (9/1), Forward Flight (9/1), Cowboy (12/1), Gibside (28/1)

TRIPLE TIME's course second last month has been boosted a number of times subsequently and he's the type to do better himself, so he's a straightforward choice to open his account at the third attempt. Thunder Legend and Forward Flight both arrive on the back of encouraging debut runs and are firm players.
