Ascending Star

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

9/2

Foaled April 2. 38,000 gns yearling, Starman colt. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Interesting newcomer for upwardly-mobile dual purpose stable and confidence behind in the betting would look significant.

Boston Dan

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S A Gray| T: R A Fahey

11/1

Foaled March 19. £46,000 yearling, Ardad colt. Half-brother to useful Swedish 9f winner Natasha Romanova. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 9f Lovell. In-form stable no stranger to success with their juveniles and he's another worth monitoring in the market on debut.

Calico Blue¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Aidan Keeley| T: R Varian

2/1

Calyx colt who looked in need of experience more than most but still shaped with promise when third of 10 in maiden at Leicester (6f) 18 days ago, running green but not knocked about. Looks sure to have derived plenty from that initial experience and there's better to come.

Form: 3

(7)

Chairmanfourtimes¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: A Keatley

7/2

£50,000 2-y-o, Nando Parrado colt who showed promise amidst greenness when second of 7 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good) on debut 13 days ago. Step up in trip firmly in his favour on that evidence and he's open to improvement.

Form: 2

(10)

Eduardo Calderon¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: Harry Eustace

16/1

Shaman colt. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Bred to be a speedy juvenile and definite promise to glean from his debut third in 9-runner maiden at Brighton (6f) a couple of weeks ago, shaping like second best on the day until fading late on. Likely type to do better but his draw could have been kinder.

Form: 3

(8)

Fanjove²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: E A L Dunlop

80/1

Nando Parrado colt who was held back by inexperience when fifth of 6 in novice at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 22/1) on debut 27 days ago, running green over 2f out and weakening final 1f. This promises to reveal more.

Form: 5

(9)

Koffee And Kale³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M L W Bell| BF

28/1

Ardad colt. Brother to useful 5f winner Crispy Cat. Well backed with stable in-form but failed to meet expectations when fifth of 6 in maiden at Ripon (5f, good to firm) on debut 36 days ago, weakening 1f out. No surprise to see him leave that behind.

Form: 5

(1)

Lucky Hero

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara

17/2

Foaled February 20. €30,000 foal, €52,000 yearling, Lucky Vega colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Mezon. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to useful 11f winner Semester out of very smart 7f-1¼m winner (Nassau Stakes) Favourable Terms. Pedigree offers hope and the betting can point the way on debut.

Form:

(4)

Straight Ahead²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Kirrane| T: Craig Lidster

18/1

Foaled March 6. Dream Ahead colt. Friendless in betting but offered something to work on nevertheless despite finishing last of 6 in conditions' stakes at Beverley (5f) on debut 21 days ago. Up in trip and this rates less demanding.

Form: 6

(6)

Perineighs¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

11/1

Nando Parrado filly who was at long odds for debut and, despite being green for the most part still displayed promise when fourth of 10 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) 10 days ago, coming through late. Should improve on that evidence.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Calico Blue (2/1), Chairmanfourtimes (7/2), Ascending Star (9/2), Lucky Hero (17/2), Boston Dan (11/1), Perineighs (11/1), Eduardo Calderon (16/1), Straight Ahead (18/1), Koffee And Kale (28/1), Fanjove (80/1)

CALICO BLUE showed definite signs of promise amidst obvious signs of inexperience when third in a Leicester maiden on debut 18 days ago and looking sure to improve for that initial effort, he looks to hold sound claims of making it second time lucky here. Chairmanfourtimes similarly made a good start when second at Nottingham and is next on the list. Perineighs and newcomer Ascending Star are a couple of others to note.
