Selected odds by:

(5)

County Mayo²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: W M Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

15/2

Left debut form well behind when landing 9-runner maiden at Gowran (8f, good, 8/1) 21 days ago, well on top finish. Ryan Moore seemingly prefers Shackleton but there's undoubtedly more to come from this son of Wootton Bassett.

Form: 41

(6)

Dunamase⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: J & T Gosden

18/1

Kingman colt who looked potentially useful when making his second start a winning one in 10-runner novice at Kempton (8f) 45 days ago. Step up in trip should be within range and looks sure to progress further for his top stable.

Form: 31

(1)

Green Storm²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C Johnston| OR: 87

6/1

Scopey sort who made the most of a good opportunity when outclassing his rivals in 6-runner maiden at Yarmouth (9.1f, good to firm) 25 days ago, unchallenged. This undoubtedly demands more but both his pedigree and physique are ongoing recommendations.

Form: 3221

(3)

Shackleton¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien

11/10

Camelot colt who progressed again to get off the mark in 14-runner maiden (2/5) at the Curragh (9f, good to soft) 13 days ago, finding extra. Will stay 1¼m and very much the sort to go on improving.

Form: 221

(7)

Starzintheireyes³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

9/2

Starspangledbanner colt who confirmed debut promise when taking 7f novice at Leicester (soft) in decisive fashion last month, well on top line. Likely to stay 1¼m and remains open to improvement.

Form: 21

(2)

The Green Mile¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 85

40/1

Waldgeist colt who overcame inexperience to make a winning start to his career in 1m Bath maiden in September and showed even better form in defeat when 4 lengths third of 5 to Too Soon in conditions stakes at Epsom (8.5f, soft) 13 days ago. Will stay 1¼m and open to further improvement.

Form: 13

(4)

Too Soon¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: G & J Moore| OR: 92

8/1

Progressed again to get off the mark in 5-runner conditions stakes at Epsom (8.5f, soft, 11/2) 13 days ago, well on top finish. Likely to stay 1¼m and may do better still.

Form: 531

Forecasts

Shackleton (11/10), Starzintheireyes (9/2), Green Storm (6/1), County Mayo (15/2), Too Soon (8/1), Dunamase (18/1), The Green Mile (40/1)

SHACKLETON opened his account in straightforward style at the Curragh 13 days ago and, with the step up in trip promising to trigger further improvement, he's fancied to take the step up in grade in his stride and follow up. Starzintheireyes and Dunamase are other promising types and they head the opposition in an intriguing renewal of the Zetland.
