Dee Ex Bee²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 96| BF

7/2

Nicely bred sort who won well on debut at Goodwood in August (7f, soft) and has since posted credible efforts in Group/Listed company. Sets the standard in this class.

Form: 163

Move Over^b²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: R Hannon| OR: 87

20/1

Couple of wins in minor events on softish ground at Salisbury and Ffos Las in August, limits exposed in German Listed contest when tackling 1m three weeks ago.

Regimented¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 91

12/1

Two wins from four starts so far, most recently ran well from a mark of 84 in a decent nursery at Doncaster. May appreciate the extra yardage now and looks set to go well.

Form: 1312

The Revenant²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer

6/4

Well bred colt made an eye-catching start when scoring over 1m at Haydock (good to soft) early last month. Wasn't fully extended in doing so, should be more to come here and holds Group 1 Racing Post Trophy entry.

Form: 1

Veejay²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: M R Channon| OR: 89

20/1

Colt has three wins from six starts this season, including decent 1m Ripon handicap in August. Since found heavy going too much at Haydock in Listed contest and won't want any deterioration in the ground in all probability.

Form: 110217

Bowditch¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden

14/1

Son of Nathaniel bought for 75,000gns as a yearling, showed just a modicum of promise in two runs over 1m so far, may want a bit further even than this in time.

Form: 54

Lisheen Castle³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: J & S Quinn

3/1

Stayed on well to score on Hamilton debut when conditions were similar. Recorded a quick time and the runner-up has upheld the form. This is tougher but is a likely improver.

Form: 1

Forecasts

The Revenant (6/4), Lisheen Castle (3/1), Dee Ex Bee (7/2), Regimented (12/1), Bowditch (14/1), Move Over (20/1), Veejay (20/1)

THE REVENANT made a fine start at Haydock last month and appears to be full of potential. He wasn't asked any serious questions to get that opening win and left the impression there will be plenty more to come when required. With a Racing Post Trophy entry still on his side, he can take what looks a trappy little contest and continue his progress towards that sort of level. This won't be easy and he'll need to be as good as he looks. The form of Lisheen Castle's debut success at Hamilton is also looking decent while Goodwood maiden winner Dee Ex Bee has run with credit in Group/Listed company since his August debut and sets the standard on form. Regimented looks best of the remainder.
