Fly Awhile Johnny⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: P Mathers| T: Fionn McSharry

Maiden pointer and well-beaten seventh of 13 in bumper at Aintree (17f, good, 25/1) on Rules debut 94 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Jack Teal. Best watched.

Harappan¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Connor Beasley| T: I Jardine| D

10/11

Sold out of John Butler's yard after a promising debut and made a winning start for current connections in 5-runner minor event (8/13) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 17 days ago. Can follow up with further improvement to come.

Form: 31

J C International¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray

200/1

Little impact in a pair of bumpers and finished well held when sixth of 9 in minor event at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 200/1) on flat debut 16 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 6

(6)

A Poet's Secret¹⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: S Woods

6/1

Very green but showed ability when fifth of 10 in maiden (6/1) at Kempton (12f) on debut in March. Off since but he should have more to offer.

Form: 5

(2)

Mass Consumption⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 64| BF

4/1

First run since leaving Jedd O'Keeffe when fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 11/4) 6 days ago. Needs to resume progress as he goes further up in distance.

Form: 66-25

(3)

Owners Dream^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 68

9/1

Had been consistent prior to running below form last 2 starts, in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of 6 in maiden at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 11/4) 12 days ago. However, is worth another chance at this longer trip.

Form: 232385

(4)

Hondo²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 73

4/1

Still seemed in need of experience when fourth of 7 on handicap debut at Doncaster (10.2f, soft) 25 days ago, nearest finish. Step up in trip should suit and he can make his presence felt.

Form: 4464

(7)

Trinidad Calypso¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Sean Kirrane| T: Miss J Feilden

200/1

Has offered little in 2 starts so far, last of 6 in maiden at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 66

Forecasts

Harappan (10/11), Hondo (4/1), Mass Consumption (4/1), A Poet's Secret (6/1), Owners Dream (9/1), J C International (200/1), Fly Awhile Johnny (200/1), Trinidad Calypso (200/1)

Having been sold for 150,000 gns after a promising debut, HARAPPAN made a winning start for his current yard at Wolverhampton earlier this month and he can continue his progress to score again. Hondo has shaped as if this longer trip should suit and he looks to be the main danger, with Owners Dream completing the shortlist.
