Anycity⁴⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson

11/4

Sales price dropped markedly as a yearling, but this gelded son of Zoffany made all to win a 1m novice at Chelmsford on his racecourse bow in August. Tougher under a penalty, but entitled to benefit from experience.

Form: 1

Isle of Wolves³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 78| D

16/1

Caught the eye on turf debut at Lingfield (7f), and delivered on that promise by making all over same C&D in July. Disappointing under a penalty at Goodwood (1m) since, and needs to prove that was just a blip.

Form: 318

Over The Guns^b1⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson⁽³⁾| T: P & O Cole| BF

9/2

Unlike many in this ownership, he was a relatively inexpensive purchase, but he overcame greenness to win over 6f at Leicester in June. Failed to build on that under a penalty there next time, and blinkers swiftly reached for now.

Form: 14

Rosamour¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 72| BF

8/1

Brighton win in August didn't require improvement despite wide margin, and she has run better in defeat since, again looking one-paced when third over 1m at Bath last time. Drop back to 7f may suit this free-going filly.

Approve The Dream⁶⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden

66/1

Better effort to date (modest form) when fifth of 7 to Fognini in 6f novice event at Yarmouth last time. Has since been gelded, and plenty of improvement needed here.

Form: 05

(14)

Classic Star¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory

16/1

Unfancied and slow into stride, but recovered to finish 5¼L fourth of 9 to Kamikaze Lord in a 6f novice here last month. Ought to do better, now, although widest draw makes his task a tough one.

Form: 4

(5)

Oofy Prosser⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: H J L Dunlop

50/1

Cheap purchase who showed only greenness on debut at Chepstow in August, and unlikely to figure here unless transformed by the experience.

Form: 0

(7)

Rambaldi³¹

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

14/1

Gelded son of Rip Van Winkle out of a maiden half-sister to Brigadier Gerard Stakes winner Sharestan. Gelded prior to debut where he was slowly away and never out of the rear division. Should do better in time.

Form: 9

(3)

Spencers Son¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: R Spencer

12/1

Has an ordinary pedigree, and sold cheaply twice as a yearling. Nonetheless, he didn't shape too badly when sixth of 13 to King Ottokar in a 7f novice at Newbury recently, and should build on that if this doesn't come too soon.

Form: 6

(8)

The Dancing Poet

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E F Vaughan

3/1

Poet's Voice half-brother to very smart 6f-1m winner Rewarding Hero (G3 winner in Hong Kong) and smart 7f-1m½f winner Dance And Dance. This jockey was aboard a winning newcomer for yard recently, and he's shortlisted accordingly.

Form:

(4)

Cern

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: G Mosse| T: D R C Elsworth

20/1

Henrythenavigator half-sister to French 1½m winner Akram, and likely to need more time for yard slow to get going with juveniles this year (1-7 for season).

Form:

(11)

Flourishable

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: William Carson| T: R Eddery

66/1

By Equiano out of a maiden half-sister to connections' smart 7f-1m1f winner Mister Music. Yard yet to score with 2-y-o runners this year (0-18), and others much more appealing.

Form:

(12)

Star Command

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: David Egan| T: D J Coakley

33/1

Half-sister to 6f-1m winner General Marius out of a US 1m winner, herself half-sister to 6f Listed winner Mehronissa. Yard's only juvenile winner in 2018 came second time out.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Anycity (11/4), The Dancing Poet (3/1), Over The Guns (9/2), Rosamour (8/1), Castle Quarter (10/1), Spencers Son (12/1), Rambaldi (14/1), Isle of Wolves (16/1), Classic Star (16/1), Cern (20/1), Star Command (33/1), Oofy Prosser (50/1), Approve The Dream (66/1), Flourishable (66/1)

ANYCITY defied his modest purchase price by making all on debut at Chelmsford, and may be up to defying a penalty with many of his opponents coming here with a bit to prove. Rosamour has raced freely at 1m, so the drop in trip should suit, and she makes some appeal, with Over The Guns and Isle of Wolves capable of making a big impact if bouncing back from recent disappointments.
