Watchmyeverymove¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mathers| T: S C Williams| D

16/1

Was a market drifter before obliging at 12-1 on debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June, and hindered by wide trip when below that form at Pontefract. Should do better, but no easy task under a penalty here.

Form: 13

Attainment

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: J Tate

33/1

Exceed And Excel colt out of a fairly useful 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 1m. Yard 4-46 with juveniles here in last five years, but runners tend to benefit from experience.

Budaiya Fort⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: R M H Cowell

100/1

£160,000 Breeze-Up purchase (€55,000 yearling); held up and never threatened over 5f on debut at Ripon last month, and disappointing that he failed to even match that form at Wolverhampton last time. Handicaps beckon after another run.

Form: 79

Dazzling Dan³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: Mrs P Sly

33/1

Sales price rose to £50,000 as a two-year-old, and he shaped quite well when fourth of 7 at Nottingham on last month's debut, getting the hang of things late. Gelded since, and will improve, although has plenty to find.

Form: 4

Jack's Point²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 79

4/1

Made a promising debut at Leicester when only beaten a neck into third in a 5f novice, and belatedly built on that when 2½ lengths second of 10 to Garrus in a C&D event last time. Sets the standard on that effort, and should do better still.

Form: 362

Jash

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford

15/8

Half brother Hansian Prince has won at 7f-1m½f, and this son of Kodiac saw his price rise from €88,000 to 185,000 gns as a yearling. Holds a Middle Park entry, so merits respect on racecourse bow.

Form:

Kamikaze Lord

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: J Noseda

33/1

First Samurai colt out of an unraced mare. Sales price halved to $25,000 earlier this year, so probably best watched despite yard's solid record here.

Form:

(1)

Riviera Nights²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: R Hannon

11/2

By Kingman out of a maiden half-sister to Sun Chariot winner Spinning Queen. Ran well when 1½L third of 9 to Sparklealot on debut at Leicester, and has solid place claims if building as expected on that.

Form: 3

(7)

Royal Marine

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor

9/4

Raven's Pass half-brother to three winners out of a once-raced half-sister to Group 1 milers Dubai Destination and Librettist. Yard has a 22% strike-rate with juveniles here in recent years, and he demands respect on debut.

Form:

(2)

Your Mothers' Eyes

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Burns⁽⁷⁾| T: A Bailey

100/1

Aussie Rules colt out of a modest maiden who has produced nothing of note from her previous offspring.

Form:

(10)

Bridlemere Court

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: J F Egan| T: D R C Elsworth

50/1

Tamayuz half-sister to 7f-1¼m winner Beach Wedding out of a 1½m/1m5f winner. Yard slow off mark with juveniles this year, and others have stronger claims.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Jash (15/8), Royal Marine (9/4), Jack's Point (4/1), Riviera Nights (11/2), Watchmyeverymove (16/1), Broughtons Flare (25/1), Dazzling Dan (33/1), Kamikaze Lord (33/1), Attainment (33/1), Bridlemere Court (50/1), Your Mothers' Eyes (100/1), Budaiya Fort (100/1)

ROYAL MARINE hails from the family of Godolphin Group 1 winners Librettist and Dubai Destination, and won't lack for preparation on his debut, so gets the nod over form pick Jack's Point. Riviera Nights made a pleasing debut at Leicester, and also merits consideration, with Jash another well-connected newcomer to note.
