Some encouragement when fifth of seven on 5f Newmarket debut; likely improver
13 (6)	The Ginger Kid Chestnut J:Kieran Shoemark T:Ed Walker	J:Kieran Shoemark T:Ed Walker	133	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-13	5.2	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Yard had a first-time-out 2yo winner last weekend; respected if betting vibes strong
11 (9)	Statten Island Bay J:Kevin Stott T:Kevin Ryan	J:Kevin Stott T:Kevin Ryan	133	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-12	5	1.13/1	9/2 18%
One of two interesting debutants from the Kevin Ryan yard; betting helpful
8 (4)	Rock Steady Beat Bay J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	J:Clifford Lee T:K R Burke	133	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-9	3.6	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Makes obvious paper appeal for a leading stable which won this with a newcomer in 2024
10 (1)	Star People Bay J:Jason Hart T:John & Sean Quinn	J:Jason Hart T:John & Sean Quinn	133	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-6	2.5	2.00/1	8/1 11%

350,000gns Starman colt; one of two for Kevin Ryan, whose 2yos have started well
7 (15)	Rlasthope Bay J:David Nolan T:Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood	J:David Nolan T:Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood	133	—	52	-	81	61	32d	—	—	-1	7.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Promise both starts, latterly pushing a useful sort close; 6f should be within range
1 (11)	Clash Of Hearts Chestnut J:Mikey Sheehy T:Adrian Paul Keatley	J:Mikey Sheehy T:Adrian Paul Keatley	133	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-3	1.1	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Half-brother to a smart 2yo for this yard in 2024; needs a betting check
12 (12)	Sue's Last Chance Chestnut J:Barry McHugh T:Richard & Peter Fahey	J:Barry McHugh T:Richard & Peter Fahey	133	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-2	0.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%

3 (5)	Leave The Bag In Chestnut J:Oisin McSweeney T:Adrian Paul Keatley	J:Oisin McSweeney T:Adrian Paul Keatley	133	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-2	0.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Not really bred to be an early type; yard also responsible for Clash Of Hearts

Yard had a ready 2yo winner at Beverley on Tuesday so worth a second look in betting
4 (13)	Mr Minz Bay J:Connor Beasley T:Iain Jardine	J:Connor Beasley T:Iain Jardine	133	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-2	0.6	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Best watched for yard not really known for its prowess with early 2yos
16 (14)	The Resdev Roman Grey J:Sam James T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Sam James T:Michael & David Easterby	128	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-1	0.4	20.00/1	80/1 1%
Bred to have a future but will need to be very useful to take this on debut
2 (3)	Craven Force Bay J:David Allan T:Craig Lidster	J:David Allan T:Craig Lidster	133	—	67	-	67	39	10d	—	—	-1	0.4	25.00/1	100/1 1%
No better than mid-division in two outings over 5f at Beverley; outsider
