Indian Sounds¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: S De Sousa| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 81

9/4

Got his head in front on his third and final start in novice company at Newbury in July, and probably best to forgive a lesser effort on nursery debut at York when meeting trouble. Should do better still.

Form: 3319

Water Diviner¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 81| D

7/2

Form of his defeat of Swissterious at Wolverhampton in July has been boosted by the second, but he's been consistent rather than progressive since. Went close at Epsom last time, though, and return to an AW surface could well make a difference.

Form: 214032

Hieronymus³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: S Durack| OR: 78

10/1

Showed promise despite not troubling the judge in qualifying runs, and improved when fourth to More Than This at Goodwood (7f) on nursery bow. That race has thrown up several subsequent winners, so he is respected from an unchanged mark.

Form: 4544

Deira Surprise³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer| OR: 78| BF

4/1

Runner-up to potentially smart fillies on two of her three starts to date, most recently behind Sand Share over C&D a month ago. Fairly treated on form, and she may well improve now handicapping.

Form: 242

(6)

Capla Rock¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: M M Monaghan⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 74

14/1

Winner at Nottingham in June (6f, good to firm), and hasn't been disgraced in a couple of nurseries subsequently, but clearly has her limitations, and others appear stronger again.

Form: 30147

(3)

Jaayiz¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 70

14/1

Found plenty to win a 6f maiden at Brighton in June, but progress has levelled out, and he's been unplaced on all three starts in nurseries.

Form: 561663

Fume^b1,t²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 70

9/2

Started favourite only to disappoint on debut, but has found gradual improvement since, and ran well in a tongue tie when third in a 7f novice at Leicester last time. Blinkers tried now, and dangerous to dismiss.

Forecasts

Indian Sounds (9/4), Water Diviner (7/2), Deira Surprise (4/1), Fume (9/2), Lolita Pulido (6/1), Hieronymus (10/1), Jaayiz (14/1), Capla Rock (14/1)

The form of the race in which HIERONYMOUS was fourth at Goodwood has been franked several times since, and he is taken to score off the same mark. Biggest danger looks to be Deira Surprise, who has found a couple of smart fillies barring her way either side of a flop at Thirsk, and it's also possible to make a strong case for Water Diviner on his AW form, and he's been running perfectly well on turf of late.
