Those with experience set only a fair standard and it could be worth siding with Charlie Johnston's BORN A STAR. He makes plenty of appeal on paper for a yard boasting a healthy strike rate with their 2-y-os this season and confidence behind him in the betting would only bolster his claims. Daydreama following his promising debut third at Carlisle, Showtown and Cloudbuster complete the shortlist.

    Foaled April 21. Dream Ahead colt. Did best of the newcomers when staying on third of 13 in novice at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) on debut 50 days ago. Appeals as the type to progress with that under his belt and he's one to consider from a good draw.

    Aclaim gelding who shaped much better than first time up when second of 11 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Possible he can do better still and not without hope in an open-looking contest.

    Verdict
    Son of Showcasing who was sent off favourite but ultimately shaped as if needing the experience when eighth of 13 in novice at Carlisle (5.8f, soft, 9/4) on debut 50 days ago. Gelded subsequently and highly likely there's improvement forthcoming. Stable landed this 12 months ago.

    Foaled May 13. 30,000 gns yearling, Starspangledbanner colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1m Peace In Motion and useful winner up to 7f Peace Society. Yard boast a healthy 17% strike rate with their juveniles on turf so far this term and he's one to note.

    Verdict
    Dream Ahead filly who was very green on debut at Kempton (6f) but showed more despite not being seen to best effect when fourth of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 18 days ago, badly hampered final 1f and finishing with running left. Very much the type to progress further.

    Verdict
    Dream Ahead colt who was still green and ran to a similar level as on debut when third of 5 in novice at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm, 40/1) 16 days ago. However, that wasn't devoid of encouragement and he could be one to note for nurseries after this.

    £20,000 2-y-o, Cotai Glory gelding who improved a little on his debut effort when sixth of 10 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago, not knocked about. Looks another likely type for low-grade nurseries moving forward.
