4/6
Promising debut third in a Leicester maiden that is working out well and duly improved to win a 10-runner novice at this C&D (good to soft, 2/1) 27 days ago, well on top finish. Draw could have been kinder but may well take the beating under a penalty.

Pinatubo colt showed more than first time up when third of 4 in maiden at Goodwood (5f, good to firm, 5/1) 21 days ago. Up in trip but looks one for handicaps.

Raced in favoured group but offered little when 6/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Redcar (5f, good to firm) on debut 46 days ago. Up in trip but needs to step forward markedly.

Foaled April 21. £27,000 yearling, Tasleet colt. Half-brother to 14.5f winner Recoup. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) who stayed 1¼m, sister to Prix Marcel Boussac winner Proportional. Yard not the most prolific with debut winners but pedigree offers hope and is one to note in the betting.

Expert Eye colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1m Dear My Friend (by Pivotal) and useful 8.3f/9f winner Pink Carnation (by Territories): dam lightly raced. Newcomers from this yard entitled to plenty of respect.

Too free to justify favouritism when fourth of 10 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on debut 53 days ago. Form has taken a few knocks but entitled to progress.

Foaled March 10. €45,000 yearling, Palace Pier colt. Dam 5f-6f winner out of winning half-sister to very smart 11.6f-14.5f winner Mugatoo. Stable have already had a debut winner this week and interesting if market support comes for this newcomer.

Ardad filly showed a bit but failed to last out when seventh of 10 in maiden (16/1) at Pontefract (6f, good) on debut 32 days ago. Will need to improve to win this.

Went with little promise when last of 6 in novice (150/1) at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft) on debut 12 days ago. Hooded for first time but others preferred.

CALICO BLUE shaped with promise in a strong Leicester maiden on debut prior to getting off the mark over C&D last month. He can follow up under a penalty at the expense of interesting newcomers Wicksey and Palace of Gold, while Blazing may well have more to offer second time up having been too free on debut.
