Alabaster⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

7/1

Expensive yearling purchase in 2015, half-brother to useful mares Alla Speranza and Altesse. Worth a check in the market.

Form: 5411

Arsenio Lupin^t³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: D P Quinn

6/1

Slowly away and sent off a huge price when staying on third here earlier this month. Interesting to see if he can back that run up here.

Form: 343

Cyrus Dallin²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden

11/2

Hails from a top yard and out of a five time winning dam. None of his four siblings to race to date have won however and interesting to see any market support for this debutant.

He's A Lad²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

5/2

Fifth over 6f at Windsor in July. Form of that is working out very well though absence since is a slight concern. One for the shortlist.

Form: 5-2

Beatisa²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Josephine Gordon| T: E Walker

20/1

Beaten four and a half lengths on debut over 7f here last month, yard been in the winners of late but more needed here.

Pepita¹¹

15/8

Beaten odds-on favourite behind the useful Island Vision at Chelmsford City in June. Had shown promise at both Naas and Goodwood prior to that though concern she hasn't run in over seven months.

Form: 272-D13

HE'S A LAD contested a strong maiden on debut and can cause a minor upset in this competitive looking maiden event. Cyrus Dallin represents top connections and can get the better of Arsenio Lupin for the minor honours. 1. He's A Lad 2. Cyrus Dallin 3. Arsenio Lupin
