Broome¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien

6/1

Typically for one from this yard, he took a big step forward from debut when winning at Galway earlier this month. Has a blend of speed and stamina in his pedigree and while this is a step up in class, he's capable of running well down in trip here.

Form: 51

James Street^t²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 89

16/1

Narrowly denied on debut and didn't need to improve when winning at Doncaster on second start. Made it two wins from three starts at Nottingham last time and shaped like he will improve for the step up in trip.

Form: 211

(3)

Persian Moon²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: S De Sousa| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 95| CD

10/3

Improving with each start and stayed on gamely to win when conceding weight to all his rivals over C&D last time out. Rates as the type to keep on progressing and yard ran Derby runner-up Dee Ex Bee in this race last year.

Form: 4211

(6)

Phoenix Of Spain²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Spencer| T: C Hills| D

9/2

Improved from debut to win in impressive fashion at Wolverhampton last month. Yard have hit form in recent weeks and while he needs to improve on his AW win to have any say, he rates as the type to take a sizable step forward.

Form: 41

(2)

Pogo¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Hills| OR: 90| D

25/1

Ran well on his first couple of starts before finding Group company too tough at Royal Ascot. Back to form with a win at Newmarket last time out in handicap company but more needed here and more exposed than most.

Form: 22051

(8)

Swissterious²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke| OR: 89| D

9/1

Improving with each start and couldn't have been much more impressive when a wide margin winner at Doncaster last time out. Yard do well with these sorts and some signs in the dam's side of his pedigree he will appreciate this step up in trip.

Form: 721

(5)

Ventura Ocean¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 86

14/1

Plenty of promise on debut and while he failed to justify favouritism at Newcastle next time, he made no mistake when an easy winner at Pontefract. Has plenty more on his plate but should improve for the step up in trip.

Form: 221

(7)

Watan²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Hannon

5/2

Very impressive winner when pulling away from his rivals in what looked a decent maiden at Goodwood on debut. Several signs in his pedigree he will appreciate this step up in trip and should run well.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Watan (5/2), Persian Moon (10/3), Phoenix Of Spain (9/2), Broome (6/1), Swissterious (9/1), Ventura Ocean (14/1), James Street (16/1), Pogo (25/1)

WATAN was impressive at Goodwood on debut and with more to come up in trip here, there's every chance he will take a big step forward for a yard that excel with their juveniles. There was a lot to like about the way Phoenix Of Spain won last time out and he was value for plenty more than the winning margin that day. Persian Moon and Broome are two more representing powerful yards that do well with their juveniles.
