Selected odds by:

(4)

Agonyclite²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Haslam

80/1

Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 80/1) on debut 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 9

(13)

Bobby Dalton²⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 55

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, bit below form seventh of 19 in nursery at Thirsk (6f, good to firm), met some trouble. Off 6 months ahead of this debut for new yard and makes little appeal.

Form: 0957-

(3)

Chiellini

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

9/1

Aclaim colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 5.4f Que Amoro and temperamental 5f winner Jacattack. Dam unraced. Needs a second look in the betting.

(1)

Code Purple²⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam

50/1

Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in maiden (12/1) at Haydock (6f, firm) on debut. Off 6 months and, like stablemate Agonyclite, it's likely that he's more one for the longer-term.

Form: 7-

(9)

Copperline

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

50/1

€12,500 foal, £20,000 yearling. Half-brother to 2-y-o 1m winner Private Party and 1m/8.3f winner Kayewhykelly. Interesting to see how he fares in the betting, particularly in relation to stablemates Mattice and Jungley.

Form:

(6)

Fast And Loose⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan

2/1

Twice-raced maiden. 3/1, third of 7 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) 40 days ago. Yard also saddles Mas Poder.

Form: 3-3

(5)

Fighting Chance²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Elliott| T: S G West| OR: 29

200/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 300/1, last of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) 21 days ago. Makes turf debut.

Form: 709-0

(7)

Liangel Hope¹⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| BF

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden. Below form second of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 8/11). Off 148 days ahead of this turf debut and he's in with an each-way shout.

Form: 2262-

(8)

Mattice³¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| BF

10/3

Thrice-raced maiden. 11/10, sixth of 8 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, soft). Off 10 months (gelded in the interim) and very high on the shortlist here given the promise he showed on his first two starts.

Form: 326-

(11)

Ribtide^h²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls

22/1

Twice-raced maiden. Second of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 33/1) 26 days ago. Needs to raise his game in order to go one better now switched to turf.

Form: 62

(12)

Alleghany⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: A Keatley

150/1

Once-raced maiden. 150/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 7 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 0

(2)

Jungley

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby

66/1

Bungle Inthejungle filly. Sister to 5f winners Call of The Jungle and Lost My Sock, and half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 10.4f Company Asset. One of three representing the Tim Easterby yard and the market should be revealing.

Form:

(10)

Mas Poder²⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rowan Scott| T: K A Ryan

9/2

Twice-raced maiden. 17¾ lengths last of 21 to Quick Suzy in Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, firm, 25/1) on second of her two starts as a juvenile. Shaped well on debut in listed company prior to that and big chance on that form.

Form: 40-

Forecasts

Fast And Loose (2/1), Mattice (10/3), Liangel Hope (10/3), Mas Poder (9/2), Chiellini (9/1), Ribtide (22/1), Code Purple (50/1), Copperline (50/1), Jungley (66/1), Bobby Dalton (66/1), Agonyclite (80/1), Alleghany (150/1), Fighting Chance (200/1)

Though it's slightly concerning that Kevin Stott appears to have deserted MAS PODER in favour of Fast And Loose, the former will be hard to beat if reproducing form akin to her debut fourth in a listed race at York last spring. She was well held in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot next time, but this is is a far easier assignment. Mattice is next on the list ahead of Liangel Hope.
