Western Dynamisme¹⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Levi Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 5

100/1

Beaten a long way on all four starts, latterly on debut for this stable after leaving the care of Harry Dunlop. Hard to make any sort of case for.

Form: 880/0-

Dahawi²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: H Palmer| D

1/1

Heeraat colt who cost £100,000 as a yearling. Winning debut when just getting up at Chelmsford last month and looks sure to improve, which he needs to under his penalty.

Form: 1

(3)

Brigadier

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Fanning| T: R M H Cowell

6/1

By Australian sire Sepoy out of a Swain mare, he is a half-brother to a couple of winners at around 1m. Worth a market check on debut.

Fury And Fire²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W Jarvis

7/1

Equiano colt who cost 16,000g gns and is a brother to 6f winner Luna Moon. Promise in mid-division on debut at Lingfield and should do better

Form: 4

Guiding Spirit²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C G Cox

14/1

Zebedee colt who fetched £28,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to a couple of 1m winners in Smart Stepper and Buskin River. Never sighted on debut at Chelmsford and may need more time to develop.

Form: 7

Passive²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: D R C Elsworth

33/1

Gelded son of Alhebayeb who cost 40,000 gns as a yearling. Slowly away and always behind on debut at this track, suggesting he is a work in progress.

Form: 0

Turn To Rock²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: E Walker

8/1

Slade Power gelding who cost €110,000 and is a half-brother to useful sprinters Robot Boy, Accession and Haverland. Needed debut run at Lingfield and looks one for further down the line.

Form: 6

Apron Strings¹⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 54

66/1

Not much to shout about in three starts in novice company as a juvenile. May be seen to better effect when she goes handicapping.

Form: 099-

Orange Blossom⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Barry McHugh| T: J G Given| OR: 77

9/2

Highly-tried at times, but form regressed as a juvenile. Interesting to see if she can recapture earlier promise after her break.

Forecasts

Dahawi (1/1), Orange Blossom (9/2), Brigadier (6/1), Fury And Fire (7/1), Turn To Rock (8/1), Guiding Spirit (14/1), Passive (33/1), Apron Strings (66/1), Western Dynamisme (100/1)

Not many of these leap off the page, so it may pay to stick with the tried and tested DAHAWI, who has a penalty to shoulder for his Chelmsford victory but is open to plenty of improvement. Of the others with racecourse experience, the likes of Fury And Fire and the so-far disappointing Orange Blossom may have most to offer. Newcomer Brigadier is worth a check in the betting.
