Jockey: J Garritty Trainer: Jedd O'Keeffe Age/Wt: 2/9-2

16/1

Comment: 20,000gns yearling; second foal from a 1m winner (RPR 93) who is a half-sister to some useful middle-distance performers; this juvenile is a half-sister to the 5f-6f winner Dan Tucker (95) so this debut run is likely to be informative for the future; noteworthy.

Aly Louise

Jockey: Kaiya Fraser Trainer: Rebecca Menzies Age/Wt: 2/9-2

40/1

Comment: 15,000gns foal; first foal from a 1m AW winner (RPR 78); trainer is yet to saddle a juvenile winner (0-10; two placed) this year, so she's best watched on debut unless the market vibes are positive ones.

Resdev Time

Jockey: Joanna Mason Trainer: Michael & David Easterby Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 0

40/1

Comment: Half-sister to two winners, most notably stablemate Diligent Resdev (6f-7f including 2yo/AW; RPR 92); bumped at the start and always behind on recent Pontefract debut (5f, good; 22-1); steps up two furlongs in trip for her second appearance; others preferred.

Comment: Dam was a stayer - Flat (1m6f-2m AW) and hurdle (1m7f) winner - and this filly was in rear throughout on Newcastle debut (7f AW; eighth of ten, beaten 21l, 50-1); may benefit for that introduction but will need to now switching to turf; better to focus elsewhere.

Comment: Two of his last three wins have been on the AW at Newcastle (1m-1m2f); fared no better this year than when third at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) on penultimate start, so the suspicion is that he'll find a few stronger once more despite competing from an easing mark.
