Almarada Prince⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 10-4| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 85| D

4/1

Followed up Thirsk maiden success by winning 7-runner minor event at Hamilton (5f, good to firm, 6/4) 53 days ago, responding well. Progressing well recently and is likely to give bold bid again under double penalty.

Form: 611

(4)

Eighth Army³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson

5/2

Twice-raced maiden. Much improved from debut when sixth of 11 in minor event (20/1) at Kempton (6f) 36 days ago but another step forward is required again.

Form: 76

(6)

Rothay Park²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: D & C Kubler

80/1

Showcasing colt. 125/1, eleventh of 12 in minor event at Kempton (6f) on debut 24 days ago, slowly away. Looks one for the longer term.

Form: 0

(3)

Split The Profit¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh| T: M Murphy & M Keady

66/1

Twice-raced maiden. Ran to barely modest level when tenth of 15 in minor event (200/1) at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 90

(11)

Berry Clever¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Liam Wright⁽⁷⁾| T: C A Dwyer

80/1

Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, still needed experience when sixth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (6f) 10 days ago. Others preferred,

Form: 06

Invincible Aura²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Davies| T: M Botti| OR: 76

2/1

Fine second of 8 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) last month but not quite in same form when mid-field in valuable sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Player in this company.

Maith An Farhh³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson

14/1

Twice-raced maiden. 12/1, showed more than debut when fifth of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 35 days ago, never nearer. Needs to progress again.

Form: 65

Rishi

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

25/1

Foaled April 25. £30,000 yearling, Massaat gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Falcon Brook. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to 5f winner Captain Dunne and 7f-1m winner Raadobarg (both smart). Yard's youngsters often need time.

Delicacy¹²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Cieren Fallon| T: R Hannon

11/2

Twice-raced maiden. 10/3, went backwards from debut when sixth of 12 in minor event at Newbury (6f, good to firm), albeit spared hard race once held. Off 123 days. Still worth considering baring in mind debut promise.

Form: 56

Jailbird^h1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott

40/1

Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. More needed.

Form: 05

Bella Bisbee

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop

16/1

Foaled April 12. 30,000 gns yearling, Muhaarar filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 7f Sterling Knight and winner up to 6f Charmed, both useful. Dam 1m winner who stayed 1¼m. Yard not overly renowned for winning debutants but worth a market check nonetheless.

Lammas Park

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Murphy & M Keady

80/1

Foaled March 20. 21,000 gns yearling, Advertise filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Ange de L'amour. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Nufoos. Others make more appeal than this newcomer on paper.

Forecasts

Invincible Aura (2/1), Eighth Army (5/2), Almarada Prince (4/1), Delicacy (11/2), Maith An Farhh (14/1), Bella Bisbee (16/1), Rishi (25/1), Jailbird (40/1), Split The Profit (66/1), Berry Clever (80/1), Rothay Park (80/1), Lammas Park (80/1)

INVINCIBLE AURA held viable excuses on account of his disadvantageous draw and the quicker ground when only mid-field in a valuable sales event at Newmarket last time, so is given the chance to get the better the doubly-penalised Almarada Prince. Delicacy showed ability on her debut in the summer and also isn't ruled out of getting back on track after a break.
