Burj²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 92| D

9/2

Dansili half-brother to Nell Gwyn winner Soliloquy. Promising third to Advertise on debut and improved when winning at Wolverhampton, but patchy form since, and again too free when last of 12 in Vintage Stakes at Goodwood. Class drop should help.

Form: 31010

Kuwait Station⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: M Harley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 91| BF

7/1

Like Burj, he flopped in the Coventry on his second start, but won on either side of that effort, and was better than the result when fourth of 5 at Ripon last time when trapped wide. Stamina to prove at this trip.

Form: 1014

Nayef Road¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 85| D

11/10

Belatedly built on promise of debut when winning a 7f novice at Haydock last time, and impressed with the manner of his victory there. Capable of taking step to nurseries in his stride.

Form: 291

Glory²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: M Dwyer| T: R Hannon| OR: 80

5/2

Improved on debut when second of 11 to Nuremberg in minor event at Ascot in July, and shaped well when fifth in a strong maiden at Goodwood last time. Type to improve now handicapping, and opening mark could be lenient.

Form: 525

Forecasts

Nayef Road (11/10), Glory (5/2), Burj (9/2), Kuwait Station (7/1)

Burj and Kuwait Station were considered good enough to contest the Coventry at Royal Ascot, but both look a little exposed now, and are passed over. Nayef Road impressed at Haydock last time, and should make a bold bid, but GLORY looks just the sort his yard excels with in nurseries, and may have been underestimated by the handicapper.
