Autumn Splendour³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Spencer| T: J Tate| OR: 88| D

9/1

Both wins have come at Yarmouth, making all to justify prohibitive odds in June, and coming from off the pace to land a nursery there last time. Has a tougher task conceding weight here, although not dismissed out of hand.

Form: 21931

Cloak And Dagger²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: C G Cox| OR: 83| D

6/4

Best form at this trip, and just held on when winning a 6f novice at Ascot last time from Kamikaze Lord. Runner-up beat Naughty Rascal last time, but was receiving weight, and line through that rival gives him something to find.

Form: 6241

Naughty Rascal¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| D

15/8

Won with plenty in hand on debut at Lingfield (6f, AW) last month, and collared in the last stride when second to Kamikaze Lord in a novice auction at Kempton next time. Holds Cloak and Dagger on a line through the winner, and should do better yet.

Form: 12

Tru Grit⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: J Mitchell| T: P W Chapple-Hyam

16/1

Better effort to date when 9¼L third of 8 to Wise Counsel in a 6f maiden at Haydock last time, and ought to improve again, but he faces a stiff task at this level, and passed over.

Form: 03

(6)

Chynna³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M R Channon| OR: 95

7/2

Seemingly exposed after nine starts, and just one win to her name, but has made the frame several times in Group 3 company, and leading claims on her fifth in the Weld Park Stakes at Naas on Sunday.

Form: 183473

Forecasts

Cloak And Dagger (6/4), Naughty Rascal (15/8), Chynna (7/2), Tin Hat (9/2), Autumn Splendour (9/1), Tru Grit (16/1)

CHYNNA has been keeping much better company than this of late, and can get back to winning ways if able to repeat Sunday's solid effort in a Group 3 at Naas. Naughty Rascal may be capable of progressing past the exposed Tin Hat for minor honours, or better if the selection flops.
