150/1

Monsieur Bond gelding. Dam maiden half-sister to smart winner up to 7.6f Arnold Lane. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner on paper.

Bear Profit²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 85| BF

1/1

Promising type. Winner at Chelmsford City in April. 4/6, fourth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 24 days ago. Remains open to improvement and he's the one to beat.

Chief White Face⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Hughes

2/1

Twice-raced winner. Won 7-runner minor event (8/15) at Southwell (5f) 86 days ago, just holding on. More needed upped in trip/switched to turf here, but he's clearly promising.

3/1

Shamardal filly. Half-sister to 9.5f winner Aim For The Stars. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 9f-1¾m winner Fujaira Prince. Yard has made a quiet start to the season with its 2-y-os, but this one needs a market check all the same.

250/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 300/1) 24 days ago. Readily passed over.

Forecasts

Bear Profit (1/1), Chief White Face (2/1), Lightning Approach (3/1), Stella's Charlie (50/1), Mistybond (150/1), Mary Jane Clarke (250/1)

BEAR PROFIT and Chief White Face have both shown a good deal of promise on the all-weather, particularly the former who was a taking winner on debut at Chelmsford and wasn't seen to best effect next time. This step up to 6f is unlikely to be an issue for the Stuart Williams-trained colt and he'll take plenty of stopping. Newcomer Lightning Approach is worth a second look in the betting.
