Bated Breeze⁶³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| BF

80/1

Thrice-raced gelding. Tenth of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW, 7/2) 63 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Eve Johnson Houghton. Probably more one for nurseries in due course.

Form: 640

Cajetan¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: J Channon

5/4

Promising sort. Second of 9 in minor event (11/1) at Salisbury (6f, good) 11 days ago, just failing. Holds Group-race entries and can be expected to make a bold bid to go one better here.

Form: 52

(3)

Elmonjed

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

11/1

Foaled April 8. Blue Point gelding. Half-brother to 6f winners Khanjar and Pinafore. Dam, 2-y-o 5.4f winner, sister to high-class winner up to 7f Ertijaal. Likely-looking type from a top yard and needs close attention in the betting.

Form:

Havanagreattime²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: R Hughes

3/1

Twice-raced colt. Fourth of 13 in maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to soft, 12/1) 20 days ago, faring best of those held up. Open to improvement and live each-way chance with William Buick booked.

Form: 34

(9)

Mbappe⁶⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Coakley| T: E Walker

100/1

Twice-raced colt. Tenth of 12 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 9/2) 60 days ago. Likely to need more time.

Form: 50

(7)

Movie Maker

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor

5/1

Foaled April 26. Invincible Spirit colt. Dam once-raced half-sister to smart 2-y-o 1m winner (stayed 1½m) Earnshaw out of useful 2-y-o 1m winner Emily Bronte. Interesting to see what the market has to say.

Form:

(8)

Shayekh^t1¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 80

7/1

Fairly useful gelding. Visored for 1st time, bit below form tenth of 20 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, soft, 18/1) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and may again prove vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: D24020

(10)

Wessex

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: M Meade

50/1

Foaled March 23. €30,000 foal, £41,000 yearling, Kodi Bear colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Makhan King. Yard can ready a newcomer and market check advised.

Form:

(2)

Invincible Molly

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

14/1

Invincible Army filly who represents an in-form yard (including with its 2-y-os) and it will look significant if the market speaks in her favour.

Form:

Non-Runners

Townsend Manor²³

Forecasts

Cajetan (5/4), Havanagreattime (3/1), Movie Maker (5/1), Shayekh (7/1), Townsend Manor (8/1), Elmonjed (11/1), Invincible Molly (14/1), Wessex (50/1), Bated Breeze (80/1), Mbappe (100/1)

This represents a good opportunity for CAJETAN, who duly left his debut form well behind when failing by a whisker at Salisbury and entries in the Mill Reef and the Middle Park suggest that better is expected from this colt. The four newcomers are all appealing on paper, particularly Elmonjed, who possesses a speedy pedigree and hails from a leading yard. Havanagreattime has shaped encouragingly on both starts to date and he makes each-way appeal.
