5/1

Didn't seem to be progressing but back on track when fifth of 13 in stronger contest at Nottingham and if able to build on that can play a part.

Staycation^p⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 67| BF

5/1

Yet to finish in the first two in 11 starts and beginning to look exposed compared to most of his rivals.

Form: 045438

Four Wheel Drive^p1⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Josephine Gordon| T: D H Brown| OR: 66| BF

10/3

Shaped better than finishing position indicates at Musselburgh last week as struggled for a run in closing stages. Has other bits of form to make him a contender and cheek pieces first time may bring about some improvement.

Vena d'Amore³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: D K Ivory| OR: 65

8/1

Second on soft ground at Nottingham back in May but has regressed in three runs since and hard to fancy on recent evidence.

Form: 902000

Sandridge Lad⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: S Donohoe| T: J Ryan| OR: 65

8/1

Found 7f stretching his stamina at Kempton last time and now drops down to the minimum trip. Needs to find some improvement.

Form: 07556

Islay Mist^p1²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 64| D

16/1

Well backed when off the mark in a claimer two starts ago. Failed to make any impression at Nottingham subsequently but this is a drop in grade and cheek pieces may help.

Kingi Compton^b²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson| OR: 62

7/2

Speedy type whose only prior visit to this venue was probably his best effort to date. Went off too hard at Lingfield last time and has others to contend with for his front running role.

Form: 440724

Gregarious Girl²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 56

25/1

Her Windsor third on second start back in August is stand out effort. Hasn't built on that but lightly raced and if recapturing that form will be in the mix.

Form: 7369

Ifyoudontmind⁶³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Rae Guest| OR: 53

10/1

Has shown little in three starts but interesting that he was well backed on debut in June so presumably thought capable than shown so far. Now handicapping and worth keeping an eye on in the market.

Forecasts

Sylvia's Mother (9/4), Four Wheel Drive (10/3), Kingi Compton (7/2), Staycation (5/1), Tomshalfbrother (5/1), Sandridge Lad (8/1), Vena d'Amore (8/1), Ifyoudontmind (10/1), Islay Mist (16/1), Gregarious Girl (25/1)

SYLVIA'S MOTHER is a speedy filly and can defy the 6lb penalty incurred for her all the way Catterick win on Saturday. TOMSHALFBROTHER will appreciate the drop in grade having showed more at Nottingham last time while a market move for IFYOUDONTMIND would be worth noting.
