7/4

Can be keen, but shaped with plenty of promise on debut when making good late headway, and won at Salisbury on second start. Better than result (hampered start) when behind Greenback Boogie in a C&D nursery last time. One to bear in mind.

2/1

Proving very reliable, following excellent third in C&D nursery here with a second of 5 to Pogo in similar event at Newmarket last time. Sure to give another good account.

Embrace The Moment¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 78

8/1

Similar form in a quartet of runs at this trip to date, behind stablemate Big Baby Bull at Brighton last time. Opening mark looks pretty stiff on balance.

Sir Victor¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 78

7/1

Improved from debut when 1½L second of 6 to Rockin Roy in 6f minor event at Chepstow last month, and didn't need to progress to win a maiden there last time. Claims if he can improve for this longer trip.

Steeve⁶⁸

13/2

Well backed when winning at Salisbury (5f, heavy) on his second outing, and handled quicker ground when second at Chepstow in June. Not disgraced next time, but needs to find more now stepping up in trip.

Recuerdame¹⁴

20/1

Gradually progressive in novice company, and improved to make all in a 4-runner nursery at Chelmsford last time by 1¾L from Camachess. This is tougher, but he is going the right way.

Forseti (7/4), Greenback Boogie (2/1), Steeve (13/2), Sir Victor (7/1), Embrace The Moment (8/1), Aegean Mist (12/1), Barbara Hepworth (16/1), Recuerdame (20/1)

Greenback Boogie was ahead of FORSETI in a strong C&D nursery at the Qatar Festival here, but the latter enjoyed no luck in running, and looks capable of much better, so is taken to turn the tables. Sir Victor was a ready winner of a maiden last time, and could well have more to offer on his first try at this trip.
