4/1

£92,000 yearling. Second foal. Half-brother to 7f winner Super Major. Dam Listed-placed 5f winner (at two), half-sister to a 5f Group 3 winner and a 5f Listed winner. Stable juveniles 18% this season. Well worth a market check.

Hector's Here²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T E Whelan| T: I Furtado

66/1

33-1 on debut and never got competitive in finishing 9¾L sixth of seven at Chelmsford (6f, AW). Much more needed.

Form: 6

Tizwotitiz¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 68

66/1

Encouraging that his best effort so far was when there was 'soft' in the going description at Nottingham (5f) in April. However, appears to have had some limitations exposed lately. More needed.

Tru Grit⁷⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: P W Chapple-Hyam

10/1

50-1 and not seriously involved when 17L tenth of 12 on debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in July. Vast improvement needed.

Form: 0

Vee Man Ten⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado

5/1

10-1 and ran well on debut when 1L third at Beverley (5f, good) recently. Step up in trip, plus that experience, should help with some improvement. Contender.

Form: 3

(4)

Wise Counsel²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: C G Cox| OR: 84

2/7

Improving with each run so far and beaten just 1L over C&D (good to soft) last time. Looks a cut above most of this field on that evidence and his experience could count for a fair bit. Claims.

Forecasts

Wise Counsel (2/7), Amplify (7/4), Angel Alexander (4/1), Vee Man Ten (5/1), Tru Grit (10/1), Tizwotitiz (66/1), Hector's Here (66/1), Grimsdyke (66/1), Abenaki (80/1)

There is no doubt that Amplify is very interesting after almost springing a big shock on debut, and it would be no surprise if he went one better here. However, given that he has that bit more experience and has also shown that he handles slow ground, the vote goes to WISE COUNSEL after a good run here last time. Angel Alexander could be a capable debutant, while Vee Tee Man looks next best of those to have raced.
