Aphra Behn

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Territories filly who showed definite signs of promise when third of 11 in a Salisbury novice (6f, heavy) on debut 16 days ago, keeping on without being knocked about. Longer trip looks sure to suit and she holds obvious claims with the prospect of more to come.

4 (5)

Lord Ragnar (Ire)

J: Robert Havlin
T: Ed Dunlop
F: 02

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 7lbs
Or: -

Showed only greenness when tenth on Windsor debut in May but left that well behind upped to this trip when second in a Leicester maiden 17 days ago, rallying to pull clear of the remainder. Further progress not ruled out.

Ponte Carlo (Ire)

J: Jason Hart
T: Tim Easterby
F: 386

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 7lbs
Or: -

Soldier's Call colt who showed something akin to his debut form without threatening up in grade when sixth in an 8-runner York novice (6f) 33 days ago. Drops back down in class now but nurseries likely more his bag moving forward.

23/05/26	York	6f	Good	6/8	Flat

Inns And Out (Ire)

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 7lbs
Or: -

Inns of Court gelding who has displayed ability both outings to date, taking a place late on when third in a Ripon novice (6f) last week. Type to win races but it could be handicaps in due course we see the best of him.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
18/06/26	Ripon	6f	Gd/Frm	3/11	Flat
02/06/26	Pontefract	6f	Good	5/7	Flat

9 (9)

Bonjour Belle

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Without Parole filly who shaped up okay in faring best of the newcomers when fifth of 11 in a Chester seller (7f) on debut 12 days ago. Entitled to build on that making all-weather debut.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
13/06/26	Chester	7f 1y	Gd/Sft	5/11	Flat

8 (6)

Aura Of Melania

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Offered little on Ripon debut in May but left that form well behind having gone from the front when fourth of 7 in a Wetherby maiden (7f) 10 days ago. A repeat gives her claims of making the frame.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
15/06/26	Wetherby	7f	Gd/Frm	4/7	Flat
28/05/26	Ripon	6f	Good	6/7	Flat

Athos

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 7lbs
Or: -

Perfect Power gelding who is a late foal and looked a likely longer-term project when sixth of 7 in a York maiden (6f) 12 days ago, outpaced and always behind.

13/06/26	York	6f	Gd/Frm	6/7	Flat

Weight: 9st 7lbs
Or: -

Timeform Verdict

APHRA BEHN shaped with definite encouragement, not least to tackling this longer trip, when third on debut at Salisbury 16 days ago and she looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to get off the mark. Aura of Melania, Bonjour Belle and Lord Ragnar may well emerge as the main threats.

Betting Forecast

6/4 Aphra Behn, 9/2 Lord Ragnar (Ire), 16/1 Ponte Carlo (Ire), 11/2 Inns And Out (Ire), 11/1 Bonjour Belle, 9/1 Aura Of Melania, 50/1 Athos, 28/1 London Rose (Ire), 40/1 Bedwyr (Ire), 40/1 Right Up My Ali
