Selected odds by:

(5)

Feel The Need¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara

3/1

Promising sort. 18/1, fourth of 8 in minor event at this C&D (good) on debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Should have more to offer and he's one to consider.

Form: 4

(3)

Masterpainter²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

20/1

Once-raced gelding. Eighth of 11 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm, 10/1) on debut 26 days ago. Up in trip and big step forward needed.

Form: 8

(2)

Perfect Play⁵⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston

11/2

Once-raced colt. Ninth of 11 in minor event at York (6f, good to soft, 14/1) on debut 58 days ago. That effort needs improving upon, but he's in good hands and this stiffer test should help judged on his pedigree.

Form: 9

(6)

Pjanoo⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: R Spencer

10/11

Promising individual. 9/1, second of 11 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, good to soft) on debut 48 days ago. That form has been boosted since and good chance he'll go one better here.

Form: 2

(4)

Rory The Cat¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish

8/1

Once-raced colt. 17/2, fourth of 8 in minor event at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) on debut 16 days ago. Open to progress.

Form: 4

(1)

Penelope's Sister

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie

40/1

Foaled February 16. War Command filly. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers and probably best watched this time.

Forecasts

Pjanoo (10/11), Feel The Need (3/1), Perfect Play (11/2), Rory The Cat (8/1), Masterpainter (20/1), Penelope's Sister (40/1)

PJANOO made a promising start to his career when chasing home subsequent Group 2 scorer Isaac Shelby in a Newbury maiden and, with improvement on the cards, he will prove hard to beat here. Feel The Need shaped well on his introduction over this C&D a fortnight ago and he could be the one for the forecast. Perfect Play didn't show much on debut, but can be expected to leave that form well behind in time.
