Gressington³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| D

7/2

Won 9-runner minor event at Southwell (7.1f, 3/1) on debut 31 days ago, well on top at the finish. More will be needed under a penalty here but he's clearly promising and is open to improvement.

Form: 1

(7)

Beale Street

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: G Lee| T: B Smart

50/1

Foaled March 1. Zoffany gelding. Half-brother to 5f winner Zoom Star. Dam unraced. Yard can ready a newcomer but he's up against several promising types with experience on their side, so will need to be pretty decent in order to make a winning debut.

Form:

(10)

Desert Rhapsody¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R Coakley| T: S & E Crisford

25/1

Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 13 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. In good hands and will probably come into his own in handicaps in due course.

Form: 06

(6)

Emmemmcee

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Alex Jary⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler

100/1

Foaled March 16. Mayson gelding. Dam, winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7f winner), half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Isla Kai. Likely to come on for the run.

Form:

(5)

King Of Luck²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute

12/1

Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 6/1) 29 days ago. Will need to settle better if he's to make an impact in this contest.

Form: 79

(12)

Papagrey¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

200/1

Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, ninth of 11 in minor event at Ayr (7.2f, good to soft) 16 days ago, slowly away. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 09

(4)

Speeding Bullet²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 79

5/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in minor event at Leicester (7f, soft, 13/2) 25 days ago. Solid each-way chance.

Form: 025

(3)

Stanley Street²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: J & S Quinn

100/1

Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in minor event at Thirsk (7f, good to soft, 12/1) on debut 28 days ago. That experience won't be wasted on him and likely to do better in time.

Form: 5

(8)

Volterra¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| BF

11/4

Promising type. Third of 11 in minor event at Ayr (7.2f, good to soft, 5/4) 16 days ago. That didn't represent a step forward compared to his promising York debut but he remains open to improvement and is high on the list here.

Form: 43

(11)

Wait And Hope

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S H James| T: K R Burke

16/1

Foaled March 7. 72,000 gns yearling, Calyx gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 5f winner Raasel and useful 7f winner Star Jewel. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Yard no stranger to success with newcomers and he's one to note in the betting.

Form:

(9)

Zain Blue⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: J Butler

5/2

Twice-raced maiden. Second of 14 in maiden at York (7f, good to firm, 11/2) 43 days ago, with the re-opposing Volterra ½-length adrift in fourth. Major player.

Form: 22

(1)

Tigla²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: A Mullen| T: N Tinkler

300/1

Twice-raced maiden. Last of 11 in maiden (300/1) at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 00

Forecasts

Zain Blue (5/2), Volterra (11/4), Gressington (7/2), Speeding Bullet (5/1), King Of Luck (12/1), Wait And Hope (16/1), Desert Rhapsody (25/1), Beale Street (50/1), Stanley Street (100/1), Emmemmcee (100/1), Papagrey (200/1), Tigla (300/1)

VOLTERRA was just behind Zain Blue, who had the benefit of previous experience, when a promising fourth on debut in a valuable York maiden in August. Kevin Ryan's charge failed to build on that at Ayr next time but again shaped well nonetheless and is taken to make it third time lucky. Zain Blue should again be in the thick of things and rates the clear main danger ahead of Gressington, who has more on his plate than when making a winning debut at Southwell but he's clearly talented.
