Chai Chai²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 76| D

11/4

Hasn't been the most reliable sort, but career-best effort last time when wining a nursery at Chester (7f, heavy) and must be in the mix with a repeat of that effort.

Form: 397531

Moseeb^h¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 76

6/1

Novice winner over 6f at York on debut in July, hasn't looked the most straightforward since, with two of three runs coming over 5f. Not discounted tackling this trip for the first time.

Form: 1663

(8)

Lexington Grace^p⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 74| D

7/1

Filly is going for the hat-trick having supplemented 7f Newmarket (soft) win by scoring at Epsom in August on good to firm. Jumps up in the ratings but should be in the frame.

Form: 154011

(6)

Tiepolo³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: G & J Moore| OR: 74

13/2

Needed the experience on debut and three subsequent runs have revealed a fair amount of ability, interesting contender on handicap debut and worth noting in betting.

Form: 0233

Warsaan³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Dane O'Neill| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 73

9/2

Beaten favourite at Newmarket in August (6f, good) on second start, since been held over 7f on Kempton's AW but could have something more to offer now moving into handicaps.

Form: 236

(7)

Lady Godiva³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 72

16/1

Solid effort here over 6f last month on third maiden start, always threatened to show more once handicapping. Second Hannon runner in this line-up.

Form: 864

(5)

Jo's Girl⁶³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 67

33/1

Poor effort on handicap debut at Leicester last time (7f, soft), when possibly not handling the soft ground. Won't want to see any further rain on that basis.

Form: 44039

(3)

General Marius^p1³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: R Varian| OR: 67

9/1

Beat over 4L on handicap bow over 6f here last time, cheekpieces added here and needs to find a bit more from somewhere.

Form: 6653

(10)

Starboy²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: M Harley| T: George Scott| OR: 66

12/1

Much improved effort last time over 1m in AW nursery at Newcastle, finishing strongly having been denied a clear passage. Capable of getting involved here.

Form: 50855

Diamond Pursuit⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: J Hughes| OR: 66| C

10/1

Won here over 5½f in April (good to firm), no match for Lexington Grace over this trip at Epsom on penultimate start.

Form: 504872

(1)

Mirek¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 51

50/1

Has done nothing in five runs to suggest he's up to troubling the principals here and looks an unlikely winner on handicap debut at these weights.

Form: 76965

Forecasts

Chai Chai (11/4), Warsaan (9/2), Moseeb (6/1), Tiepolo (13/2), Lexington Grace (7/1), General Marius (9/1), Diamond Pursuit (10/1), Starboy (12/1), Lady Godiva (16/1), Jo's Girl (33/1), Mirek (50/1)

The hat-trick seeking Lexington Grace is respected but a 6lb penalty now asks plenty of the Hannon filly and she might be vulnerable as a result. Handicap debutant Warsaan is worth paying attention to in the market and could have the improvement to go close while Moseeb is noted stepping up in distance. CHAI CHAI hasn't been the most reliable but comes here off a really taking win at Chester in testing ground and he could have more to offer still.
