(1)

Tricky Tel¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Hart| T: H Palmer| OR: 81| D

10/3

Landed short odds over 5.5f and 6f on first 2 starts. Hasn't built on that in a pair of 7f outings since but the return to 6f may help.

Form: 1157

(2)

Tropical Dreamer⁵²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 79

7/1

Winner on debut at Beverley in April. Better form when third over 5f/6f on next 2 outings and might be worth forgiving him a lesser run in a sales race in Ireland since. Off for 7 weeks ahead of nursery debut.

Form: 1430

Lucky Hero^v1²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78| BF

5/2

Fairly useful maiden. Good second of 5 in nursery at Sandown (7f, soft, evens) 26 days ago. Visor on first time now dropping back in trip.

(8)

Yorkshire Puds^t1³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 78

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, 11 lengths last of 8 to Lifeplan in Group 2 Gimcrack at York (6f, good to firm) 34 days ago. More realistic chance now switching to a handicap with a first-time tongue tie added.

Form: 308

Forecasts

Lucky Hero (5/2), Tricky Tel (10/3), Demetrius (5/1), Tropical Dreamer (7/1), Runamara (7/1), Alaskan Light (8/1), Yorkshire Puds (16/1), Lily Pearl (22/1)

DEMETRIUS has been doing well in similar races and might be able to notch another win. There could be more to come from Bath maiden winner Runamara who is second choice ahead of Lucky Hero, who won't need to pull out much more for a visor.
