Pleadings^t,v⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Adam Beschizza| T: C Wallis| OR: 45

100/1

Poor form overall in maidens (had plenty of chances) and well beaten last time out at Southwell.

Form: 0-53999

Bo Selecta²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: L P Keniry| T: R Spencer

9/2

Just the one run so far which saw him finish sixth in a Kempton maiden. Not put under maximum pressure there at all and may well improve for that run.

Dark Destroyer¹²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J F Egan| T: J Tuite| OR: 80

9/4

Three effort in maidens so far and trip looked too far at Salisbury in September. Back in trip here and is best judged on his debut third at Newmarket in July.

Form: 380-

(2)

Jack Flash¹⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: J L Eyre| OR: 76

9/2

First run for new yard. Blinkered (first-time) and below form when well beaten at Naas in July. Best effort has come over 5f and a little to prove here.

Form: 121031

Roman Navigator^t1⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Botti

8/1

Just the one run so far at Kempton and whilst he was a short price in relation to what he achieved he did shape as though the run would bring him on.

Form: 8

Coral Sea^h¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: L Morris| T: C Hills| OR: 72

2/1

Had enough chances now to break her maiden and finished a respectable second (again) last time out. Makes her debut on this surface but should be in the shake-up once again.

Form: 23322

Tai Hang Dragon⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

16/1

Just the one race so far but never on terms when well held in a maiden at Wolverhampton although was badly hampered 1f out.

Form: 0-4311

Forecasts

Coral Sea (2/1), Dark Destroyer (9/4), Jack Flash (9/2), Bo Selecta (9/2), Roman Navigator (8/1), Tai Hang Dragon (16/1), Fille The Force (16/1), Pleadings (100/1)

This looks a reasonable maiden for the time of year with Coral Sea likely to be popular although she is getting rather frustrating now and it may well be that she is vulnerable to an improver here. One of those could well be Dark Destroyer who will appreciate the drop back to 6f here. BO SELECTA has only the one run under his belt but wasn’t given a hard time on his debut and could surprise a few of the better fancied runners here. 1. Bo Selecta 2. Dark Destroyer 3. Coral Sea
