Bountiful³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey

10/3

95,000 gns yearling, Zoustar filly out of a May Hill winner. Off the mark in 9-runner maiden at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 39 days ago, still green and value a bit extra having been eased half a length late on. Second won next time and she has more to offer. Good shout under Buick.

Form: 51

Cashlyn Cavalier

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

5/1

Foaled April 7. €110,000 yearling, Mehmas colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 6f winners Abama and Aasser. Dam sprint maiden half-sister to smart 6f winner Great Minds. Yard have a strong 2-y-o team and interesting he starts out in this valuable contest.

125/1

Ninth of 14 in seller (50/1) at York (6f, good to soft) on debut 12 days ago, very green. Lots to find.

Megalithic²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett

4/5

220,000 gns Wootton Bassett colt. Half-brother to useful 1¼m winner Wonderful Times, from the family of very smart 7f winner Gustav Klimt. Very green in 5f Salisbury novice and the Woodcote at Epsom (nearest finish). Sure to improve and win races but longer trips will be his bag.

Form: 32

Shamal Wind¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: H Palmer

7/1

Dubawi colt. Half-brother to several winners, including high-class winner up to 7f Dream of Dreams. 9/1, showed plenty behind an impressive all-the-way winner in 6f York maiden on debut 11 days ago. Will benefit from further than this but sure to improve.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Megalithic (4/5), Bountiful (10/3), Cashlyn Cavalier (5/1), Shamal Wind (7/1), Cugini (125/1)

A poor turnout for the money, with BOUNTIFUL taken to follow up her Thirsk victory. Megalithic looks a winner-in-waiting but faces much quicker conditions here and will be suited by longer trips, similar comments also applying to Shamal Wind.
