Texas Boy³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Menzies| OR: 67| BF

16/1

Creditable third of 9 in claimer at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 35 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving John Stephen O'Donoghue and rates as a player on best Irish form.

Form: 720843

(10)

Solitary Trees^p⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: K Stott| T: G Boughey| OR: 61

3/1

Improved when winning at Chelmsford City 11 days ago before defying a penalty in facile fashion at Kempton last week. Penalised again but should have even more to offer.

Form: 182211

Mother India⁵⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 65

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Hasn't progressed from a promisng debut and was always behind on debut at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 50/1) 54 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 3099

(4)

Slippin Jimmy¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

11/4

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, very good second of 11 in nursery at this course (6f) 13 days ago. Will prove suited by return to 7f and has good chance on form.

Form: 85582

(9)

Do It For Love^p1²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Ryan| OR: 64

20/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in maiden at Brighton (8f, good to soft, 14/1) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Improvement required on handicap debut.

Form: 755

(6)

Beach Breeze¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 64

7/1

Creditable second of 6 in nursery (11/2) at Haydock (7f, heavy) 10 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Looks fairly summed up by mark and can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 543542

(7)

Inverinate²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Cameron Noble| T: I Mohammed| OR: 63

9/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, sixth of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) 23 days ago. Opening mark looks workable enough and could make more impact in nurseries.

Form: 006

(5)

Arkenstaar²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 62

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 14 in minor event (25/1) at Redcar (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago, again racing freely. Makes handicap debut. Must improve.

Form: 686

(3)

Zakram²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 60| D

8/1

Runner-up on his last 3 outings, including in 6-runner nursery (11/4) at Ffos Las (8f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Solid place claims again.

Form: 265222

(11)

Knights Artist^b1²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 51

50/1

Barely modest form across 5 starts so far, well held in nursery at Leicester last time. Blinkers now applied.

Form: 49609

(8)

Attrazione^t¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 50

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Shaped well for long way when sixth of 11 in nursery at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft, 17/2) 14 days ago, though seemed stretched by the trip and may be of more interest over shorter.

Form: 6886

Forecasts

Slippin Jimmy (11/4), Solitary Trees (3/1), Inverinate (9/2), Beach Breeze (7/1), Zakram (8/1), Arkenstaar (12/1), Texas Boy (16/1), Do It For Love (20/1), Attrazione (33/1), Mother India (40/1), Knights Artist (50/1)

SLIPPIN JIMMY is fancied to deny Solitary Trees a quick-fire hat-trick and get off the mark here, the return to 7f likely to help him improve upon his recent second here. Solitary Trees himself is a leading player, though the drop in trip and wide draw provide minor question marks. Rebecca Menzies's new recruit Texas Boy can fill the placings.
