Always Happy (F)
FAV
Promising start to her career when winning 7-runner novice (10/11) at Southwell (1m) in March, overcoming a pace bias to reel in a next-time-out winner. Smart prospect.
|
R L Moore | R Varian | 3 | 59.4 kg |

1/3
|
| 12th | 3 | 8 |
Cormorant Rock (G)
€20,000 Kodi Bear gelding. Dam French 13f winner. Best watched on debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.
|
P Cosgrave | J R Boyle | 3 | 58.5 kg |
301
300/1
|
| 5th | 4 | 2 |
Don Pablo Colina (G)
Lope Y Fernandez gelding. Dam, 1¼m-2m winner who also won over hurdles, sister to winner up to 1½m Chilworth Bells. This one would be a surprise winner on debut.
|
N Callan | George Baker | 3 | 58.5 kg |
126
125/1
|
| 8th | 5 | 4 |
Minerality (G)
45,000 gns foal. Showcasing half-brother to several winners, including smart 2-y-o 6f winner Cathedral and useful winner up to 1m Tolstoy and useful 6f winner Firebird. Makes enough paper appeal to warrant a look in the betting.
|
L Morris | Dr R Newland & J Insole | 3 | 58.5 kg |

50/1
|
| 9th | 6 | 5 |
Notable Charm (G)
150/1 when down the field on 1m Newbury debut 24 days ago.

Rob Hornby | M P Tregoning | 3 | 58.5 kg |

250/1
|
| 1st | 7 | 10 |
Savvy Disko (C)
Fair when reaching the frame in a pair of 7f outings at Newmarket last autumn. Will need to improve on those efforts if he's to strike on reappearance.
|
R Havlin | S Woods | 3 | 58.5 kg |
8
7/1
|
| 10th | 8 | 12 |
Turret (C)
€580,000 Kingman colt who is the second foal of an unraced half-sister to 3 Group 1 winners. Would enter calculations if the betting speaks in his favour.
|
Callum Hutchinson | A M Balding | 3 | 58.5 kg |
9.50
17/2
|
| 3rd | 9 | 3 |
York Tower (G)
Shaped well when runner-up in 7f novices on turf at Yarmouth and all-weather at Chelmsford last year. Open to progress on return and the obvious threat to Always Happy.
|
Tom Marquand | W J Haggas | 3 | 58.5 kg |
6.50
11/2
|
| 11th | 10 | 7 |
Midnight Steppers (F)
Down the field in 2 outings last month.
|
Mason Paetel | E A L Dunlop | 3 | 56.2 kg |
301
300/1
|
| 6th | 11 | 9 |
Molo Del Palazzo (F)
11/2, fifth of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) on debut in September. Should progress for leading stable.
|
Oisin Murphy | R M Beckett | 3 | 56.2 kg |
12
11/1
|
| 4th | 12 | 1 |
Tropical Sands (F)
Too Darn Hot filly. Closely related to useful 1¼m-11f winner Calmly and half-sister to 9.5f winner Shrewdness and 1¼m winner Stimulate. The betting should help guide to expectations with this newcomer.

K Shoemark | E Walker | 3 | 56.2 kg |
