In depth
Formwatch
Brave Giraffe Best watched on debut.
Brocketeer The Osborne yard is in form; worth watching the market for this debut run.
Houston Park (IRE) She has had three runs to date, but shown nothing to suggest she is capable of winning this contest today.
Littleton Zeus (IRE) Best watched on debut; has both stamina and speed in breeding.
Nikitin Only beaten 2l in a maiden at Folkstone last time out and was reported to be staying on; one for the shortlist today.
Saint Johann (IRE) Has had three runs to date; needs to improve to win today.
Silver Mascot Finished eighth at York recently. Had previously run creditably on the sand at Wolverhampton; should go well, but otherrs preferred.
Van de Velde His breeding is good enough to make him a likely contender today, and coming from Paul Cole who is able to get his 2yo ready first time out.
City Faith Unlikely to land the spolils today.
Gala Affair Finished last at Kempton on only start but badly hampered at the start; ran green on that occasion and should go better today.
Gezkat Stable not renound for turning out first time 2yo winners.
Holly Rose Was 50/1 when finishing last at Newmarket on her second run; others would be preferred today.
Reine Indienne (IRE) Bred for speed, best watched on debut today.
Sweet Kristeen (USA) Fanshawe has a good record with his first time out 2yo this season; one to be watched.
