11/8

Impressive 6L winner over 7f on good-to-firm ground here in June. Put a disappointing effort behind him when runner-up last time out and likely to play a leading role once more.

Bug Boy²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: H J L Dunlop

12/1

Slowly away and never involved when finishing sixth on debut in a 7f novice contest at Wolverhampton on debut last month. More needed.

Form: 6

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 51

40/1

Improving with racing and finished third over 7f at Brighton (good-to-firm) last time out. Likely needs to improve if he's to take this contest.

33/1

Unraced daughter of Mukhadram purchased for 2,000 gns as a yearling last October. Half-brother to winner Rememberance Day and probably best watched on debut.

Loving Pearl³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M Beckett

6/4

Finished a good second in a 7f novice event at Chepstow (good-to-firm) on debut a month ago. Improvement likely and is one for the shortlist on this occasion.

Form: 2

Mirabai²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

14/1

Promising third over 7f at Chepstow (good-to-firm) on debut. Failed to build on that in one subsequent outing and others hold stronger claims.

Form: 37

Shifting Gold¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: W J Knight

6/1

Slowly away prior to finishing fifth in a 7f maiden at Wolverhampton when making her debut last month. Improvement likely and is an interesting runner in this contest.

Forecasts

Critical Data (11/8), Loving Pearl (6/4), Shifting Gold (6/1), Bug Boy (12/1), Mirabai (14/1), Thinque Tank (14/1), Moon Artist (16/1), Knightshayes (33/1), Mr Fox (40/1)

LOVING PEARL looks capable of going one better than when finishing runner-up on debut by taking this novice stakes contest. The selection should appreciate the extra distance here and can get the better of previous winner Critical Data. Shifting Gold who made a promising debut on the AW last time can take third.
