Gentle George¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby

9/1

Sergei Prokofiev colt who left Pontefract debut well behind when getting on top towards the finish over 5f at Sandown (soft) 14 days ago. A penalty demands more but the return to 6f should suit.

Form: 61

(6)

Monarch's Gold²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: D Egan| T: K P De Foy| D

10/11

Promising type. Won 11-runner novice (13/2) at Kempton (6f) on debut 23 days ago. Should improve.

Form: 1

(5)

Hvar²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett

15/2

4/1, last of 5 in novice at Ascot (6f, good to soft) on debut 21 days ago. Early days but he'll need to step up a fair bit to go close.

Form: 5

(4)

Missile Kode

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

33/1

Foaled May 6. £35,000 2-y-o by Kodiac. Dam of little account, closely related to smart winner up to 11f Black Arrow. Yard can ready one. Check the betting.

Night Mission²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: M G Rimell

5/2

Promising sort. 80/1, 3 lengths second of 6 on C&D (good) on debut 22 days ago, running on not knocked about. Likely to improve and leading claims.

Form: 2

(2)

Not That Guy^t1

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

18/1

Foaled April 28. €52,000 Cotai Glory colt. Dam, 7f-1½m winner, half-sister to useful 1¼m winner (barely stayed 1½m) Glory Daze (by Cotai Glory). Wears tongue strap on debut. Yard enjoying a good season with 2-y-os and would need considering if the betting vibes are strong.

Black Missile

Weight: 9-4| Age: 2

T: Miss J A Camacho J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Monarch's Gold (10/11), Night Mission (5/2), Hvar (15/2), Gentle George (9/1), Not That Guy (18/1), Black Missile (20/1), Missile Kode (33/1)

There was plenty to like about NIGHT MISSION's opening second over C&D 3 weeks ago and he's taken to make the most of the weight he receives from previous winners Monarch's Gold and Gentle George.
