Form: 6641 D
OR: —
W: 9st 7lb
Age: 2 yo Colt
Improving race by race and the step up to 6f and drop to selling company saw him run out an easy winner at Chester 13 days ago (good ground); had Undercover Affair and Furturra, both winners since, in behind on that occasion and meets them on the same terms; major player.
Form: 647231
OR: —
W: 9st 7lb
Age: 2 yo Gelding
Off the mark at the sixth attempt when landing a 5f seller at Musselburgh on Saturday; put in his place by Everatease at Chester beforehand and he will need a career best to follow up.
Form: 44221
OR: —
W: 9st 7lb
Age: 2 yo Gelding
He wasn't well drawn when second to Everatease at Chester (6f, good) 13 days ago; won a 5f seller at Goodwood on Sunday; versatile groundwise and he shouldn't be far away once more.

W: 9st 4lb
Age: 2 yo Gelding
£20,000 yearling; seventh foal; brother to 6f AW winner Kapparis Kid (including 2yo; RPR 73), closely related to 5f/6f AW winner Beneficiary (70), half-brother to 7.5f-9.4f winner Locked N'Loaded (86); dam placed 1m1f in France; one of two newcomers for the stable; betting instructive.
Form: 6
OR: —
W: 9st 4lb
Age: 2 yo Gelding
40-1 and slowly away on his Beverley debut (5f, good to soft) 39 days ago, keeping on late to take sixth (just behind Explainingislosing); open to improvement and his trainer's record in this race (won four of the last nine runnings including the last three) piques interest.
Form: 538
OR: —
W: 9st 4lb
Age: 2 yo Gelding
Displayed some promise in his first two stars and he was drawn wide when down the field in Everatease's Chester race 13 days ago; others appeal more.
Form: —
OR: —
W: 9st 4lb
Age: 2 yo Gelding
10,000gns foal, 4,000euros yearling; fifth foal; Ubettabelieveit half-brother to winners Zebelle (5f 2yo; RPR 80) and Decanter (Czech 1m4f); dam unraced half-sister to useful French winners Disclose (1m), World Ruler (7f/1m) and Grand Vista (5.5f/6f 2yo); trainer has a fine record in the race but his four winners all had the benefit of experience.
Form: 05
OR: —
W: 9st 4lb
Age: 2 yo Colt
Poor form in two 5f runs at Beverley last month; new trip/headgear not enough to tempt.
Form: 69
OR: —
W: 9st 4lb
Age: 2 yo Colt
Beat just one rival home in his two runs for Karl Burke last month; sold for 4,000gns last week; others are more persuasive.
Form: —
OR: —
W: 9st 4lb
Age: 2 yo Gelding
3,000gns yearling; eighth foal; half-brother to 5f/7f 2yo winner Gray's Inn (RPR 88); unraced dam from a good middle-distance family; one of two newcomers for the yard.
Form: 433
OR: —
W: 9st 4lb
Age: 2 yo Colt
Shaped well on his Musselburgh debut but fluffed his lines when odds-on for a Thirsk maiden one week later; got back on track when third of seven at Carlisle two weeks ago (5f, good) and stepping up to 6f should be in his favour; each-way shout.
Form: 43473
OR: —
W: 9st 4lb
Age: 2 yo Colt
Ran as well as he ever has when third to stablemate Furturra at Musselburgh on Saturday (5f, good); step back up to 6f not sure to play to his strengths and a career-best performance is required.
Form: 74
OR: —
W: 8st 13lb
Age: 2 yo Filly
She hasn't achieved a huge amount in form terms in her two runs but last month's Redcar fourth (6f, good) was a step in the right direction and the run can be upgraded as she didn't have optimal track position; one of four runners for Ollie Pears.
Form: 44 BF
OR: —
W: 8st 13lb
Age: 2 yo Filly
Two fourth-place finishes in 5f events at Beverley this spring (both good to soft), failing to build on her debut promise on the second occasion (2-1 favourite); represents a trainer/jockey combination seeking a hat-trick in the race; can do better at 6f.
Form: 85
OR: —
W: 8st 13lb
Age: 2 yo Filly
Only 9-2 for her debut but finished well beaten; slightly better at Carlisle a fortnight ago but others bring stronger claims.

Betting Forecast
11/4 Everatease, 7/1 Furturra, 9/2 Undercover Affair, 20/1 Court Legend, 16/1 Enemy Action, 20/1 Explainingislosing, 20/1 Hey Up Ronnie, 50/1 Jimmy You Mushroom, 25/1 Martial Order, 20/1 Micks The Boy, 9/2 Tamam Star, 10/1 Turnstile, 16/1 Baila Morena, 12/1 Lady Dublin, 33/1 State Of Gold
Verdict
Ollie Pears has won four of the last nine renewals of this seller and he is mob handed this year. Lady Dublin and Baila Morena may prove the pick of them but this could be fought out by last-time-out winners EVERATEASE and Undercover Affair. The selection improved for a sixth furlong at Chester and could still have more in the tank.[Paul Smith]
