Artarmon²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: M L W Bell

25/1

Sire has not really set the breeding scene alight and he offered little on debut when sent off at odds of 50/1.

Form: 8

Change Maker

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

16/1

From the successful first crop of Havana Gold and the ninth foal of a dam who has produced five winners, including Australian Group 2 winner Johann Zoffany. Stable have had a quiet year with this age group but did have a winning debutant last week.

Form:

Dubai Frame⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: E A L Dunlop

80/1

140,000 gns son of Sixties Icon and related to three winners who were effective from 1m-1m6f. Makes a quick reappearance after showing nothing on Newmarket debut last week.

Form: 0

Global Excel²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: E Walker

8/1

There has been little to take from his two runs so far other than he races keenly. Well-related on the dam's side and he probably has a future in handicaps.

Form: 60

(10)

King's Proctor¹³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| BF

5/2

Sent off favourite on debut in June but got trapped wide on the home turn and never truly threatened. Given a break since and this nicely bred colt may prove that form to be wrong.

Form: 5

(7)

Tamkeen²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows

15/8

Latest effort at Redcar sets the standard for this and he should improve further for the extra furlong. Stable have had a good year with this age group.

Form: 52

(3)

Teatro¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Joe Doyle| T: J G Given

125/1

Tailed off on his Redcar debut 12 days ago and hard to see him turning things around so quickly.

Form: 8

(4)

Twister¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Powell| T: Sir Mark Prescott

125/1

Well-related gelding who has shown little so far. Probably one for the longer term and likely to find a few of these sharper than he is.

Form: 08

(1)

Uae Soldier

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

15/2

160,000 gns son of Dansili out of a Group 2 winner. Both of the dam's previous foals were winners and this unraced colt has already earned a quote of 66/1 for next year's Derby. Stable's juveniles have looked backward but still worth a market check.

Form:

(5)

Westbrook Bertie²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon| BF

11/2

Looked in trouble when clipping heels and tumbling over at Brighton when sent off favourite. Poor third at Salisbury previously, but he does appear to be improving. Will most likely come into his own over considerably further next year.

Form: 93F

Forecasts

Tamkeen (15/8), King's Proctor (5/2), Westbrook Bertie (11/2), Uae Soldier (15/2), Global Excel (8/1), Change Maker (16/1), Artarmon (25/1), Dubai Frame (80/1), Twister (125/1), Teatro (125/1)

Uae Soldier is an interesting newcomer for a maiden that lacks depth. It is interesting he has entered the Derby ante-post market ahead of his introduction given how backward so many of the yard's juveniles have appeared this autumn. King's Proctor is a potential improver for the Mark Johnston team having been sent off favourite for this summer's introduction. TAMKEEN sets a high standard for this having chased home a subsequently 89-rated winner at Redcar last time.
