Beat Le Bon²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 95| BF

15/8

Placed in all three starts. Showed improvement when unlucky in a Listed event at Redcar (6f, good) last time. Back up to 7f will be no problem and would not be an undeserving winner.

Form: 232

Lincoln Park⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 89| D

7/2

Has won both starts for this trainer, improving well last time when upped to this trip at Haydock. Acts on good to soft. Claims.

Constant¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: R Kingscote| T: K R Burke| OR: 85| D

4/1

Won a Yarmouth novice event (7f, good to soft) in August and bettered that over 6f at Hamilton next time. That looks decent form in context and if he can bounce back from his Listed York defeat last time, he couldn't be ruled out.

Form: 5125

Happy Power³³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 83| BF

11/4

Beaten 1L by Constant at Hamilton (6f, soft) last time, which was marginally better than his maiden win there the time before. Could do better for this step up in trip and enters calculations.

Form: 413

Heroic²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-1| J: Josephine Gordon| T: C Hills| OR: 75

25/1

Ran well on debut at Ascot (7f, good) last month. Held both starts since, but probsbly better than that and a decent effort is not ruled out.

Form: 470

Quarry Beach¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: H Candy| OR: 71

14/1

Reasonable form in 6f novice races, but needs a fair bit of improvement to get competitive here.

Form: 503

Forecasts

Beat Le Bon (15/8), Happy Power (11/4), Lincoln Park (7/2), Constant (4/1), Quarry Beach (14/1), Heroic (25/1)

BEAT LE BON keeps finding something to beat him, but he was a bit unlucky to do so last time and he can finally get off the mark here, now back up to 7f. Lincoln Park is improving nicely and could give him plenty to do, while Constant, Happy Power and Heroic are not written off.
