Six two-year-old races - from a claimer to novice stakes and nurseries too.
I'll have a quick look to note any significant entrants.
2:10 Catterick (Claiming)
No entrants of significance.
2:50 Yarmouth -
No entrants of significance.
3:10 Catterick -
Mark Johnston's Prairie Spy has won on both starts to date. Interesting that her trainer has opted to send this daughter of Sepoy to contest an nursery for this third start. The opposition are rated in the 60s, while she has an official rating of 87. A horse respected in the stable and one that will be contesting at Group class if winning here.
4:00 Lingfield -
A poor nursery for horses rated in the 60s (a couple rated 71). Wolstonbury and Habanera have been given entries but limited. This race wouldn't take much winning so they may have some chance. Not the type of race I would bet myself but intriguing nonetheless.
4:35 Lingfield -
No significant entrants
7:25 Kempton -
Interesting to see David Evans' One Kiss made her debut at Class 2 and wasn't disgraced. Stepping up in distance. This looks a fairly competitive field and it may be the case she was slightly flattered on that racecourse bow but looks a big price at 25/1.
Three two-year-old races to consider.
2:15 Hamilton -
No entries of note.
6:45 Chepstow -
Tisneverending is a significant entrant for Stan Moore. She has been flitting between the UK and France. Not the easiest horse to assess.
7:15 Chepstow -
An intriguing race. A few of these are worthy of note. Shaybani has to shoulder a win penalty but good enough to contest the Coventry Stakes (Group 2) at Royal Ascot. Wasn't disgraced in mid division.
David Evans is a fair judge and Disruptor is better than seen on his first two starts. Needed the run on debut, when finishing with verve. A beaten favourite next start when stepping up to six furlongs after a long break. Nothing much went right that day. He wasn't helped at all by running wide and then being pushed even wider on the final bend. In truth, there was a lot to like about that performance although backers where left frustrated. The race looked decent. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the first seven horses at Lingfield go on to win. If this wasn't such a stiff contest, I would be pretty keen on this French-bred colt hitting the frame if not winning. Not without a chance at fair odds.
I don't usually detail horses here if they haven't been given significant entries. However, there are a few horses which may be able opponents.
Roger Teal's Spirit Of May has very good win and place claims if priced 13/2 and less. Dutch Treat has fair each-way claims if priced 9/1 & less sp.
A tough race in ways but very interesting.
Three races of interest. Most have sizable field which doesn't fill my heart with joy. Why? Because they take longer to analyse. Just one race with significant entrants.
2:00 Salisbury -
Mick Channon has a decent string of two-year-olds. Certain Lad ran out a comfortable winner on debut and been given a Gain Railway Stakes (Group 2) entry, Ireland. Connections will be hoping he goes well here to head to that lofty engagement. A win penalty makes this a fair test.
Interesting that Stan Moore gave Warrior Display a Woodcote entry. His string haven't shown a great deal this year but he is a fair judge of ability. This Irish-bred son of Dandy Man cost £20,000 at the breeze-up sales. He is priced 50/1 with bookmakers because it is a competitive race and he doesn't have many debut winners. If you can get 100/1+ on the betting exchanges, you may take the plunge and bet a few quid each way. It is a shot in the dark but this horse must have proven something on the gallops.
