Go Daddy²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W Muir & C Grassick| BF

33/1

Promising start when third in a 7f novice but not in the same form when eighth of 9 in novice event (11/4) at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft) 26 days ago.

Form: 38

Kingdom Of Time^t1³³

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

6/1

Foaled March 2. 800,000 gns yearling, Dubawi colt out of French 1¼m winner, herself a sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Highland Reel. Just a fair start when fourth at Newmarket a month ago and he's surely capable of better. Tongue tied.

Form: 4

Muttasil

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: Harry Eustace

16/1

Foaled February 23. Kingman colt. Dam, 2-y-o 7.5f winner, half-sister to high-class 1m winner Tamayuz.

Screaming Eagle

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

28/1

Foaled March 26. Saxon Warrior colt. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1½m Extra Elusive. Highly respected on debut.

Form:

Superposition²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: E A L Dunlop| BF

9/1

Promising sort. Disappointed bearing in mind debut promise when third of 8 in novice event (11/10) at Southwell (7.1f) 23 days ago. Should improve over 1m.

Form: 53

(8)

Toronto Raptor

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: M L W Bell

50/1

Foaled April 13. €150,000 yearling, Zoffany colt. Half-brother to useful US 1m winner Royal By Nature and 2-y-o 1m winner Areen. Dam unraced.

Whiskey Pete⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| BF

8/11

Shaped very well when runner-up on debut at Newmarket. Sent off 4/5 to go one place better but could manage only third of 8 in novice event at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 40 days ago, needing stiffer test. Will take the beating.

Form: 23

Forecasts

Whiskey Pete (8/11), Kingdom Of Time (6/1), Dambuster (17/2), Superposition (9/1), Muttasil (16/1), Always A Star (18/1), A La Noche (25/1), Screaming Eagle (28/1), Go Daddy (33/1), Toronto Raptor (50/1)

Despite failing to land the odds at Haydock last month, WHISKEY PETE ran another promising race and with that contest working out well, he's more than capable of winning a maiden. The step up to 1m is sure to suit Superposition and he's a threat, with 750,000 gns Kingman newcomer Dambuster an obvious type on paper.
