Big Baby Bull¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 85

5/2

Off the mark at the second time of asking at Brighton (7f) last month, and found shorter trip against him in sales race at York last time. Should improve again at this trip, but opening mark stiff on balance.

Form: 510

I Am A Dreamer¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 84

11/1

Runner-up in a nursery at Chelmsford in July, but well below that form in similar events since. Handicapper has given him a chance, but hard to be enthusiastic.

Form: 102500

Daafr⁵⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 83

4/1

Improved from debut to win a 6f novice at Newcastle in June, but disappointed in face of a stiff task at Newmarket last time. Possible he'll be revived by return to AW now, but has a little to prove.

Form: 715

Eyelool²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: T P Queally| T: W J Haggas| OR: 79| BF

3/1

Has gradually been getting the hang of things as he proved when scoring at the third attempt at Epsom. Can ill-afford a tardy start as on nursery bow at Wolverhampton, but handicapped to go very close if away on terms.

Form: 5212

Zoffee²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 78| BF

9/2

Similar form when third on all three starts at around 7f, and would appear to be exposed ahead of this handicap debut, but he is bred to suited by at least 1m, and may well find improvement for the longer trip.

Form: 333

(7)

Bercheny²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Harry Bentley| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 71| BF

7/1

No real progress since promising debut, but again ran creditably when fourth of 10 to Pacino in 7f novice at Wolverhampton last time. Another bred to appreciate a test of stamina, and improvement anticipated now tackling 1m.

Form: 534

One Kiss¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 71

33/1

Ran creditably without improving on nursery debut at Thirsk (6f), but appreciated stiffer test when getting off the mark in a similar event at Ffos Las (7½f) on latest outing. 6lb rise does demand further improvement, however.

Forecasts

Big Baby Bull (5/2), Eyelool (3/1), Daafr (4/1), Zoffee (9/2), Bercheny (7/1), I Am A Dreamer (11/1), Al Wafi (14/1), One Kiss (33/1)

He still has his rough edges, and a slow start would not help his prospects here, but EYELOOL is undeniably capable of winning off his current mark and gets the vote. Bercheny has run to a similar solid level in three runs to date, but ought to be more effective now stepping up in trip, and looks a big danger. Big Baby Bull and Daafr have pattern-race pretensions, but need to bounce back from disappointing efforts.
