Amakhala Warrior³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| D

5/4

Promising sort. 14/1, overcame trouble in running to win 10-runner maiden at Haydock (7.2f, good) on debut 34 days ago. Should progress.

Form: 1

Gold Dawn³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: H Palmer| BF

4/1

Second on 7f Haydock debut but only ninth of 10 to Amakhala Warrior back there since, fading after racing freely on the pace.

Form: 29

Hear The Drums

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey

28/1

Foaled March 26. £35,000 yearling, Lope Y Fernandez colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 5f/6f winner Galloway Hills and 1m-1¼m winner Goodwood Glen. Dam 6f/7f winner. Yard hasn't been knocking in the 2-y-o winners with its usual regularity but this one still needs checking out in the betting.

Forecasts

Amakhala Warrior (5/4), Ellusive Butterfly (11/4), Gold Dawn (4/1), Lavender Gold (9/2), Zooter (15/2), Red Spells Danger (10/1), Circle Of Trust (10/1), Sandy Craic (14/1), Jennys Palace (25/1), Hear The Drums (28/1), Our Randolph (50/1), Evergreen Emerald (50/1), Time Twister (66/1), Wicksey (66/1), Singarda (80/1), Howsham (80/1), Golden Haze (125/1), Ubettabehave (125/1)

Karl Burke's ELLUSIVE BUTTERFLY sets the bar fairly high on her recent French listed third and has drawn the inside stall so there are reasons to be very hopeful. Haydock winner Amakhala Warrior has to concede 9 lb to the selection but still looks the obvious main threat. Lavender Gold has some useful winners in his pedigree and is a newcomer to monitor in the betting with Oisin Murphy taking the reins.
