Awake In Asia⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: C Wallis| OR: 65

33/1

Promise of first two starts on heavy ground unfulfilled on sounder surfaces subsequently. Failed to beat a rival home on stable bow/return from long layoff recently. Others preferred.

Form: 23670

Fox Morgan

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding

14/1

Well-related newcomer with multiple winners in the family already. Likely sort and needs a market check, though may come on for this run.

Form:

Ghost Buy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado

28/1

Mare was placed in group-company and half-brother to useful winner. Racecourse introduction and should have plenty pace about him.

Uh Oh Chongo^e/s1²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby

12/1

Big prices in two runs at Newcastle, has shown some promising signs but unsure the drop to 5f helps. May do better once getting a handicap mark.

Form: 57

Antonia Clara²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 70

13/8

Eight-race maiden but some promising form, gone close at Chelmsford and Kempton in previous two starts over 6f and entitled to solid claims here.

Form: 234423

Ginvincible⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J G Given| OR: 68

8/1

Nine-race maiden, made the frame over this trip at Catterick and Lingfield in August/September. Not beaten far in fifth over this C&D early in the month and likely to throw cap in the ring again.

Form: 333065

Klass Action¹⁸²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

5/6

Just run out of it late on at Bath in June over half-furlong longer trip, that was his second start. Big claims on that evidence, if ready to fire on first run since.

Form: 42

Forecasts

Klass Action (5/6), Antonia Clara (13/8), Ginvincible (8/1), Uh Oh Chongo (12/1), Fox Morgan (14/1), Storm Blitz (14/1), Ghost Buy (28/1), Awake In Asia (33/1), Empty Promises (33/1), Atwaar (33/1)

Klass Action just about sets the benchmark here on her Bath second in the summer, she's returning from a break now but any strong market support would need respecting. ANTONIO CLARA remain a maiden but she has twice run well at Chelmsford and Kempton recently and the drop to 5f might well get her off the mark. Ginvincible has the form to be involved too while newcomer Fox Morgan makes some appeal on paper.
