Usain Boat⁹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: P Hanagan| T: George Scott| OR: 86

9/2

Scored at Newmarket (6f, good) in May and bettered that at Epsom next time (soft). Below par when last seen at Hamilton in June. Yet to race on good to firm, but if he handles it then he should be a contender.

Form: 2124

Epaulini²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods

5/1

28-1 and tried to make all on debut at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) last month, weakening to be beaten almost 8L. Needs a fair bit of improvement on that to get competitive, but that is not ruled out.

Form: 5

(2)

Legal Tender^h²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: B Smart

16/1

Improved on his debut when returning to Catterick (5f, good to firm) last month, sporting a first-time hood, and showing a little promise to be beaten less than 5L. Can continue to build here, though probably more interesting in nurseries.

Form: 64

Macs Blessings¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Gray| T: Stef Keniry

100/1

Behind Legal Tender at Catterick a couple of starts ago when 100-1 and beaten almost 9L. Started at the same price when upped to 6f at Newcastle last time and well held. Can only watch.

Form: 858

Slieve Donard^b1²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: N Wilson

200/1

Well held in all three starts, showing little so far. Watch.

Form: 500

Master Matt¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: D P Quinn

13/2

Improved on his debut with a promising effort at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last time, when beaten 3½L. With another step up on that, he could be a contender this time.

Form: 75

(10)

Our Wynnie¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Jason Hart| T: P T Midgley

66/1

125-1 and a 26L last of 14 on debut at Catterick (6f, soft) recently. Can only watch this time.

Form: 0

Harperelle¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: A Elliott| T: K R Burke

4/6

Beaten just ½L in each start so far, the more recent at Leicester after she was given plenty of time between runs. She looked to have benefited for that and is probably the one to beat here.

Form: 22

Just A Rumour

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine

33/1

€3,000 yearling (not sold €4,500 yearling). Half-sister to three winners including Transfixed (5f-7f inc AW, mainly at two), Make Good (6f at two). Dam unraced half-sister to 7f-1m4f winner Active Asset. Probably one to watch on debut.

Well beaten in both runs at Beverley and Ripon in August. Can only watch this time.

Harperelle (4/6), Usain Boat (9/2), Epaulini (5/1), Master Matt (13/2), Big Ace (8/1), Legal Tender (16/1), Just A Rumour (33/1), Our Wynnie (66/1), Macs Blessings (100/1), Kemmeridge Bay (125/1), Slieve Donard (200/1)

HARPARELLE has shown enough in two runs to suggest that she can break her duck this time. Her latest, effort, although not an improvement on her debut, nonetheless suggested that she would not be long in winning. Big Ace is respected, although bigger threats may come from Usain Boat and Master Matt.
