Sir Busker²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W J Knight| OR: 79| D

9/4

Figures have improved with each start and enjoyed the switch to turf when breaking his maiden at Newbury (6f, good to soft) last time. Life tougher here under a penalty but on an upward curve and could improve again.

Form: 521

Chairmanoftheboard

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon

1/1

Son of Slade Power who's price dropped from 52,000 gns as a foal to 27,000 gns as a yearling. Has an Irish 2000 guineas entry and market should be a good guide on debut.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Queally| T: R Spencer| OR: 75| D

10/1

Made all to win over 6f at Newbury in July and showed up well in the Super Sprint at Newbury. Disappointed the last twice in handicap company but should find this a little easier now with cheekpieces on for the first time.

Form: 71550

Milldean Panther

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Liam Keniry| T: J & S Best

100/1

Mayson colt that cost 15,000 gns as a yearling. Dam was unraced and yard are not renown for two-year-old winners. Market best guide.

Riviera Claire¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne

16/1

Respectable effort when placed at Kempton on debut and positioned too wide at Chester last time. Tough ask but drop back in trip on quicker ground may see her to better effect.

Form: 35

Uponastar

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: S De Sousa| T: Miss A Murphy

16/1

Zebedee filly that cost £16,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to 5f winner Koditime. Dam was a maiden on the flat. Positive jockey booking and market check needed.

Form:

Milly Monroe

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson

25/1

Dandy Man filly that cost €10,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to three winners. Yard having a good year with two-year-olds and market check very much needed.

Miss Elsa¹¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: M Dwyer| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 75| BF

8/1

Beaten favourite on her last two starts but the winner at Brighton last time has gone in again since and looks useful. Had a break of three months and getting weight off her main rivals here she has major claims once more.

Forecasts

Chairmanoftheboard (1/1), Sir Busker (9/4), Miss Elsa (8/1), Cookupastorm (10/1), Foxy Femme (10/1), Riviera Claire (16/1), Uponastar (16/1), Milly Monroe (25/1), Bring Us Paradise (50/1), Milldean Panther (100/1)

Sir Busker probably still has more to come but this is more difficult under a penalty. Newcomers Chairmanoftheboard and Milly Monroe are both worth a market check. This looks a good opportunity for MISS ELSA to finally get off the mark. She bumped into a useful rival at Brighton last time and has been given a short break. If she returns in the same form she will be very hard to beat.
