Theatre Of War⁵²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: S De Sousa| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 87| CD

4/11

Off the mark at the third attempt when scoring decisively over C&D last month. Sets a good standard, but has to concede weight all round.

Form: 341

(3)

Cavalry Park

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: C Fellowes

14/1

Epaulette colt who cost £20,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to two winners over 6f and 7f. Worth a look in the betting on debut.

Form:

(7)

Estrela Star

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Stronge

66/1

Already-gelded son of Casemento who fetched 5,000 gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to a fair 1m2f winner. Likely to need this debut experience.

Form:

(4)

Self Assessment¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: M Stainton| T: K R Burke

7/2

Stepped up on York debut when second of 10 at Thirsk. Could well take another leap forward, but has to prove his effectiveness on the AW.

Form: 82

(2)

Kennocha^t²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A Murphy

66/1

Down the field on both starts at Newmarket and Windsor. Stable going well, but she looks one for nurseries in due course.

Form: 60

(6)

Margaret J

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee

80/1

Bated Breath filly who cost only 800 gns this year, but is a half-sister to four winners. Purchase price is a little offputting and she is best watched on debut.

Form:

(1)

Mulhima

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: A Fresu| T: M Botti

12/1

Mukhadram filly who was bought for £14,000 this year and is a half-sister to a couple of winners at around 1m. Stable can ready a debutant so she is worth a look in the market.

Form:

Forecasts

Theatre Of War (4/11), Self Assessment (7/2), Mulhima (12/1), Cavalry Park (14/1), Kennocha (66/1), Estrela Star (66/1), Margaret J (80/1)

Mulhima may be the best of the debutants, but this could well develop into a match between Self Assessment, who is going the right way, and last month's C&D winner THEATRE OF WAR. The selection concedes 7lb. but has vital experience on this surface.
