Assembly Call¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: Tom Dascombe

Great Acclaim²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

12/1

Aclaim colt. Dam unraced, half-sister to high-class 5f performer Sole Power. Looked badly in need of the experience when eight of 13 on last month's debut at Windsor but was beginning to get the message late on and can be expected to improve.

Form: 8

(11)

Movie Maker³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: S bin Suroor

9/4

Invincible Spirit colt from a useful family and offered something to work on amidst greenness when fifth in 9-runner maiden at Lingfield (6f) on debut 32 days ago, not knocked about. Will improve.

Form: 5

Rebaatt

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

10/3

Foaled January 16. €185,000 yearling, Dark Angel colt. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to useful 1m/8.3f winner Terwada out of smart 7f/1m winner (would have stayed 1¼m) Bethrah. Newcomer from top yard who needs taking seriously.

Form:

Romanee

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J Ryan

9/1

Foaled February 12. £45,000 yearling, 77,000 gns 2-y-o, Starspangledbanner colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Jungle Time. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful 6f winner Cairn Gorm. Market for clues.

Timebar⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

10/3

No Nay Never colt who showed a bit when fifth of 9 in a 7f novice at Ascot (7f, firm) on debut 13 days ago. Entitled to do better.

Forecasts

Movie Maker (9/4), Hurricane Power (9/4), Von Baer (10/3), Rebaatt (10/3), Assembly Call (11/2), Romanee (9/1), Great Acclaim (12/1), Clyde Bay (14/1), Timebar (16/1), Classy Hopes (20/1), Lady Twilight (125/1), Call Time (200/1), Clear Aim (200/1), Gator Girl (200/1)

HURRICANE POWER sets the standard having run to a borderline fairly level the last twice, so he has to be considered the one to beat. Movie Maker is from a useful family and seems likely to build on an encouraging debut at Lingfield, with Rebaatt a newcomer to note.
