1/8

Dandy Man half-brother to three winners out of a 2-y-o 6f winner. Caught the eye when strong-finishing 3½L lengths second of 12 to True Mason in minor event at Nottingham on debut, and looks sure to progress.

Model Guest¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: G G Margarson

7/1

Fetched 135,000 gns as a yearling, but sent off at big odds for racecourse bow over C&D, finishing 3¼L eighth of 9 to Pretty Pollyanna. Likely to do better, but this looks a big ask.

Too Many Lovers

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: David Egan| T: J Ryan

16/1

Sepoy filly out of an unraced half-sister to high-class miler Delegator. Very cheaply bought, however, and yard just 4-96 with juveniles on turf in recent seasons.

Forecasts

Autumn Splendour (1/8), Mendoza (11/10), James Street (4/1), Model Guest (7/1), Too Many Lovers (16/1), Lorcan (25/1)

MENDOZA has shaped with promise on both starts to date, keeping on willingly when third in the Woodcote Stakes at Epsomn last time, and this represents an easier task on paper. Autumn Splendour looked a winner in waiting after an unlucky run at Nottingham first time up, and appears the biggest danger, although newcomer James Street is bred to be useful, and should be noted in the market,
