The Paddocks⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 83

9/2

Best effort since winning on debut came when finishing runner-up in a four runner contest over C&D a week ago. Of interest once more.

Form: 1072

Fancy Flyer¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: D K Ivory| OR: 63

20/1

Signs of ability in three starts to date. Likely more needed than when finishing sixth at Chelmsford (6f) on the AW last time.

Form: 446

Sandridge Lad⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Danny Brock| T: J Ryan

33/1

Stepped up on debut effort when finishing 5L seventh at Newmarket (6f, good) last time out. Further improvement likely and interesting to see how he fares.

Form: 07

(3)

Spirit Of May³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Fahy| T: R A Teal

12/1

Finished a good second over an extended 5f at Bath (firm) on debut in May. Failed to build on that when fourth at Chepstow (6f, good-to-firm) subsequently and this drop in trip should suit.

Form: 24

Ustath⁵⁸

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

11/10

Ran well to finish 3L second at Yarmouth (6f, good-to-firm) on debut two months ago. Absent since but one for the shortlist down in trip.

Form: 2

(7)

Laura's Legacy

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

10/1

Unraced daughter of Laura's Legacy out of a five time winning sprinter. Market support would be interesting on her racecourse debut.

Swiss Air^t1¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W J Haggas| BF

9/4

Showed improvement when finishing runner-up over 6f on the AW here last time out. Represents a yard in great form (14/42) at present and wears a tongue tie for the first time.

Form: 72

Brother Bentley

Forecasts

Ustath (11/10), Swiss Air (9/4), The Paddocks (9/2), Laura's Legacy (10/1), Spirit Of May (12/1), Fancy Flyer (20/1), Sandridge Lad (33/1), Brother Bentley (33/1)

SWISS AIR can register a victory at the third time of asking having run well when second last time. The selection hails from a top yard and she can see off Ustath who ran well when making his debut in June. Third place can go to The Paddocks who is the only previous winner in the line up.
