2. Contenders, Dangers, and Profiles
Strongest Contenders:
BLEEP TEST (78p, Tim Easterby)
Produced a promising second on debut at Redcar (5f), closing well and splitting two next-time-out winners. A repeat of that effort would put her right in the mix here. Trainer is in good form with his juveniles.
HOMESTRAIT (80, Brian Ellison)
Runner-up on both starts at Beverley, each time staying on well. Adjusted rating of 80 is the highest in the field. Proven over 5f and may benefit from the step up in trip and today’s pace scenario.
Main Dangers:
GOING AGAIN (George Scott)
Nicely bred (dam won over 6f as a 2yo, sire Acclamation has a good debut record) and makes some appeal on pedigree and Smart Stat noting 76 debut wins for the sire. Stable has introduced capable 2yos before.
HAMALEEL (Archie Watson)
Comes from a stable that can get them ready first time. Half-sister to a 5f 2yo winner. Market check advised.
LOVETHISWAYAGAIN (69p, Ollie Sangster)
Made a fair debut at Salisbury behind Anthelia. Trainer going well, and Jamie Spencer booked. Likely improver.
Interesting Outsiders:
PRINCESS AMNA (Kevin Ryan)
No form yet but Kevin Ryan has a +£19.57 level stakes profit with 2yo debutants. Dam stayed 12f, but sire Kessaar lends speed. Has a smart stat angle and a middle draw.
SANDY CRAIC (David O’Meara)
Pedigree suggests she could be sharper second time up. Jockey booking (Tudhope) worth noting.

3. Runner Ratings (out of 10)
Stall Horse Adj Rating Comments Rating
(1) LOVETHISWAYAGAIN 69p Likely improver from debut. Trainer in form. 7
(2) MUDDY NORA – Beaten 10.5L on debut. No clear positives. 3
(3) SANDY CRAIC – Sire has produced early 2yo winners. Some appeal. 6
(4) U HEAT – No standout stats or form. 4
(5) HOMESTRAIT 80 Two solid efforts, strong finisher. Best adjusted figure. 8.5
(6) GOING AGAIN – Well-bred. Sire has strong debut record. 7
(7) BLEEP TEST 78p Good debut effort, strong finisher. Scope for more. 8
(8) RIVERA QUEEN – Pedigree okay. Trainer lightly raced. 5
(9) PRINCESS AMNA – Trainer profitable with debutants. 6.5
(10) CALYPSO BREEZE – Unraced, low-profile yard. 3.5
(11) MONK’S HILL – Dandy Man progeny do win first time, but stable cold. 4.5
(12) HARSWELL RIVER – Beaten 10L on debut. 2.5
(13) LINA CODINA 75 Slight improvement possible. Better effort than odds suggested. 5.5
(14) HAMALEEL – From a respected juvenile yard. Market check key. 6.5
Note: No runners returning from 90+ days, so layoff market guidance is less relevant here. But in-form fillies with two quick runs like HOMESTRAIT often step forward again.

Summary:
This looks a useful maiden with a couple of early benchmarks already set.

Trainer & Jockey Angles
George Scott (trainer of Going Again) is in strong recent form, with a 23% strike rate over 7 days and 15% over the past year. He’s paired with Darragh Keenan, and they hold a 24% win record when teamed up.
Denis P Quinn has shockingly high recent stats (60% last 30 days), but his runner Calypso Breeze may be out of her depth.
Daniel Tudhope, on Sandy Craic, boasts an elite 33% strike rate at Redcar and is in solid nick across all key metrics. He teams up with David O’Meara, who’s operating at 30% trainer/distance and has a decent strike rate at this trip with juveniles.
David Allan (riding Bleep Test) is hot at 29% over the last 7 days and has a 19% strike rate at 6f.

Breeding Insights
Bleep Test (Time Test x Royal Applause mare) is well-bred for speed and precocity, and her damline fits the surface and going. Trainer Tim Easterby often has them ready early.
Sandy Craic is by Starman and out of Beach Wedding, with the dam rating very well for distance (33%) and going suitability. The sire is new but already showing promise at 6f.
Lovethiswayagain, a daughter of No Nay Never, has breeding for sharp 2yo sprints and comes from a strong G1 family. She rates well on the class and going filters.
Going Again is by Acclamation, a reliable sire for early types. The dam’s side has sprint form too and scores well in key RapidView trends (top 3 in multiple categories).
Rivera Queen and Calypso Breeze are by Nando Parrado and Aali respectively, sires who show up with strong stats at the trip or race type—but the rest of their profiles are weaker.

Notable Horses (Based on Data)
1. Bleep Test – Top recent jockey, strong trainer form, reliable sprinting pedigree. Early mover with the right stats.
2. Sandy Craic – O’Meara and Tudhope combine well, and breeding suggests she’ll improve sharply from debut.
3. Lovethiswayagain – Bred for the job and has Jamie Spencer booked, suggesting she’s likely to be given a learning ride with a late flourish.
4. Going Again – Everything from trainer form to pedigree lines up. A live player if well-tuned.
5. Princess Amna – Represents the Kevin Ryan team with course-winning form. Dam line scores well with Cape Cross influence.

Summary
This looks a deep and competitive maiden with several likely improvers and debutantes with upside. From a RapidView perspective:
Most Compelling Stat Profile: Bleep Test
Live Contenders: Sandy Craic, Going Again, Lovethiswayagain
Each-Way Value: Princess Amna – well-related and from a yard with Redcar know-how
Keep an eye on the market, especially for debutantes like Lovethiswayagain and Going Again, who may drift late but are clearly bred for today’s test.
