Arthur's Spirit^b1¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 66| D

25/1

Looked progressive when winning at Kempton in April, but has struggled since. Connections reach for blinkers in a bid to turn the tide.

Form: 216889

Aegean Mist⁴⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 64

8/1

Off the mark in her first nursery when scoring at Lingfield in August. Not so good last time, but she reverts to novice company and has each-way propects.

Form: 93010

(11)

Dandy Lad⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 69

7/1

Placed twice in six starts so he is not without ability. Gelded since last seen and would be in the mix if the operation has had a positive effect.

Form: 982360

Milldean Panther⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L P Keniry| T: J & S Best

100/1

Mayson colt who cost 15,000 gns as a yearling. Sent off at 100-1 when last of eight on debut at Goodwood and can only be watched on this occasion.

Form: 8

(7)

Rocket Action

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: R M H Cowell

6/1

Colt by Toronado whose dam was placed in the Cheveley Park Stakes. Taking pedigree and is one to note in the betting on debut. One of three runners for his stable.

Swiss Pride^b1²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 77

9/4

Placed four times and clearly has enough ability to win a race of the nature. Blinkers go on for the first time and he looks the stable's main hope ahead of Dandy Lad.

Form: 232402

(3)

Society Star

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: B Doyle| T: R M H Cowell

20/1

Society Rock filly who cost only 3,500 gns as a yearling and whose dam won over 1m. Stable looks to have a more likely newcomer in Rocket Action.

Form:

(6)

Sohni Kudi^v²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M J Attwater| OR: 42

100/1

Unplaced in five starts, most recently in a first-time visor which is retained. Hard to make a case for and will be better suited to handicap company.

Form: 84590

(8)

Swell Song

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: R M H Cowell

25/1

Third newcomer from this stable. By Kyllachy, she is a half-sister to three winners from 5f to 1m4f. Nice enough pedigree and is worth a look in the betting.

Form:

(9)

Tease Maid²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & S Quinn

9/2

Heeraat filly who cost £30,000 as a yearling and whose dam was a winner over 5f on Fibresand. Showed ability when finishing in mid-division on debut at Pontefract and should improve. Positive jockey booking.

Form: 6

(4)

Vino Rosso⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 61

7/2

Fair effort on nursery debut at Ffos Las. Looks to have a bit to find back in a novice event and has only ever raced on good to firm.

Form: 9743

Forecasts

Swiss Pride (9/4), Vino Rosso (7/2), Tease Maid (9/2), Rocket Action (6/1), Dandy Lad (7/1), Aegean Mist (8/1), Society Star (20/1), Swell Song (25/1), Arthur's Spirit (25/1), Milldean Panther (100/1), Sohni Kudi (100/1)

Rocket Action may be the best of three newcomers from his stable, while Swiss Pride is sure to be well fancied and can finish ahead of stable companion Dandy Lad. However, he has had a few chances and it may pay to side with the less exposed TEASE MAID, who shaped well on debut at Pontefract and could take a step forward under her in-form jockey. Aegean Mist and Vino Rosso are others to consider.
