Mordred¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon| OR: 92

8/1

Has the experience of six races and won fifth of them at Chelmsford (7f) before a close seventh of 22 in hot Doncaster sales race latest. Upped in trip now and has smart form so can't be ruled out in first handicap.

Form: 239417

Daafr^p1¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 91

6/1

Newcastle AW winner on second start was no match for top prospect Quorto next in Group Two July Stakes but went well after a break latest on handicap debut at Kempton beaten just a short-head. 8lb rise looks steep but open to more improvement.

Form: 7152

Indomitable¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 85| D

3/1

May be going into handicaps at just the right time based on his narrow 7½f success at Chester latest where he got on top late on. Looks sure to appreciate 1m and has to be considered a likely sort on handicap debut.

Form: 221

Even Keel²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 83

5/1

Newbury handicap winner (7f) in penultimate start before another good effort at Sandown when 5lb higher. Gets 3lb more so life again gets tougher but promises to appreciate step up to 1m.

Form: 222513

Rajinsky¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 81| BF

5/2

Chased home Royal Lodge favourite Beatboxer in first two before landing the spoils in a 7f Sandown maiden. One-paced third latest on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m) a fair start and with 1lb ease he can't be ruled out.

Form: 8213

Greeley⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: B R Millman| OR: 81| D

13/2

Revelation since switching to handicaps landing a hat-trick at Leicester, Newmarket (July) and Windsor in last three starts. Handicapper rapidly raising mark to catch up and latest 9lb climb may slow him down.

Form: 587111

Love Your Work^p²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: J Quinn| T: A West| OR: 73

20/1

Maiden ran his best race to date latest when narrowly failing in a 1m Newcastle (AW) handicap. Raised 1lb and must carry that form over to turf but suggest this will be a hotter contest.

Form: 35352

INDOMITABLE gets the vote for the prolific Andrew Balding team. After two good seconds he won well at Chester latest and could be well suited by a stiff 1m here so looks sure to go well on handicap debut. Daafr has run two really good races but the slight knock on him is that they both came on AW surfaces and his turf efforts aren't quite as strong. Top-weight Mordred ran well in a very competitive contest latest and the form of that has already been boosted so he has to enter calculations.
