Cheeky Chesca (Ire)

J: Jake Dickson
T: Tim Easterby
F: 55223

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

Ran well to finish second on successive starts at Redcar and Wetherby in May/June, but well below form when third of 6 at Hamilton 8 days ago over 5f. Looks to have a good form chance if back on track returned to 6f here.

Koodini (Ire)

J: Jason Watson
T: Hugo Palmer
F: 902

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

Showed improved form when second of 9 at Chester 13 days ago in a novice, though that was still modest form and he needs another step forward back on firmer ground to get off the mark.

4 (6)

Crowned (Ire)

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

Showed some ability when third of 13 on debut in a maiden at Windsor over 5f 10 days ago, making progress out wide 2f out. Steps up to 6f here and is open to improvement.

3 (3)

Chan Noir

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

Foaled May 3. 32,000 gns yearling. Blackbeard colt. Half-brother to 6f winner with dam a 2-y-o winner over 7f. Breeding suggests he'll be suited by this trip and, while his stable is yet to record a 2-y-o winner this year, he looks to be starting out in an ordinary affair so merits respect.

2 (8)

Benefacta (Ire)

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

Showed ability despite not being seen to best effect either start to date, looking green on debut and never on an even keel after colliding with the rail early on last time. Should do better at some stage.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
09/06/26	Salisbury	6f	Heavy	8/11	Flat
21/05/26	Chepstow	6f 16y	Good	7/12	Flat

8 (5)

Supreme Star (Ire)

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

Foaled May 8. €9,000 yearling, resold 4,000 gns yearling. Supremacy colt. Those that have run don't set too testing a standard so he's one to take seriously if market speaks in his favour.

1 (1)

Beechwood Glory (Ire)

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

Foaled February 4. €10,000 yearling. Cotai Glory colt. First foal of a dam who won over 6f at two and is a sister to smart 5f/6f winner Happy Romance. Stable has enjoyed some juvenile success this year so he's worth a look in the betting.

6 (4)

Emirates Express (Ire)

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

Last both starts to date and is hard to fancy despite the step up in trip being likely to suit on breeding.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
15/06/26	Windsor	5f 21y	Gd/Frm	13/13	Flat
01/06/26	Windsor	5f 21y	Gd/Frm	10/10	Flat

Timeform Verdict

CHEEKY CHESCA needs to shrug off her recent effort but she could get the run of things with a good-value claimer taking over. She sets just an ordinary standard, however, so the newcomers need monitoring in the betting, notably Chan Noir and Supreme Star.

Betting Forecast

7/2 Cheeky Chesca (Ire), 3/1 Koodini (Ire), 11/2 Crowned (Ire), 8/1 Chan Noir, 12/1 Benefacta (Ire), 9/1 Supreme Star (Ire), 18/1 Beechwood Glory (Ire), 66/1 Emirates Express (Ire)
