Call Me Cheers⁶⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: P D Evans

25/1

Kyllachy colt failed to build on promise of AW debut when disappointing at on turf debut at Leicester. Plenty of improvement needed off these terms.

Form: 46

Dorchester Dom^t1¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Keniry| T: P D Evans

25/1

Starspangledbanner colt who belied his odds to finish fourth of 17 in the Brocklesby at Doncaster on debut. Missed a subsequent start due to being unruly and then very poor in a seller following a gelding operation. Best watched for now.

Form: 48

Flowing Magic²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Bentley| T: George Scott

14/1

Sales price consistently rose (45,000 guineas Breeze-Up purchase finally); ran with promise on debut at Yarmouth but then quickly behind and tailed off on AW debut at Newcastle. More needed even from debut effort.

Form: 47

Hot Heels

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: Tom Dascombe

14/1

Son of Hot Streak cost 21,000 gns as a foal and €27,000 as a yearling; a fifth foal and a half-brother to winners Still On Top, Magical Daze and Quicksilver. Stable a bit quiet with their juveniles but worth a market check on debut.

Last Date²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado

50/1

Home-bred Music Mater colt and a half-brother to a couple of winners including dual winning sprinter Mops Angel. Showed pace but an ultimately well beaten last on June debut and huge improvement required.

Form: 0

X Force¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson| BF

8/11

Son of Bungle Inthejungle and a half-brother to winning sprinter Aloysius Lilius. 4L second on debut and then turned over as a 1/4f at Chepstow when second again. Makes AW debut and sets the standard on his debut effort.

Form: 22

(9)

Dana Forever¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe

2/1

Daughter of Requinto showed paced before weakening inside the final furlong when fourth of five on recent turf debut. Bare level of form would need improving on but likely to be stronger for the run.

Form: 4

(4)

Elpheba¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T E Whelan| T: D Loughnane

11/1

£25,000 yearling showed improvement from Carlisle debut when a well held third at Chester despite meeting trouble in the run. Stable form a worry and big improvement required anyway.

Form: 73

(5)

La Chica Lobo

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: L Williamson

200/1

Captain Gerrard filly; a first foal out of a juvenile selling winner. Doesn't jump out on paper for a stable not known at all for two-year-old winners.

Form:

Northern Grace⁹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison

50/1

Helmet filly out of a Starspangledbanner mare, she is from the family of a couple of Group-race winning sprinters. Sent off 50/1 and outpaced on debut and hard to fancy.

Form: 0

Forecasts

X Force (8/11), Dana Forever (2/1), Airbrush (9/4), Elpheba (11/1), Hot Heels (14/1), Flowing Magic (14/1), Dorchester Dom (25/1), Call Me Cheers (25/1), Last Date (50/1), Northern Grace (50/1), La Chica Lobo (200/1)

X FORCE may have been beaten at odds-on last time but this represents a good opportunity to build on two promising efforts. Airbrush is a major danger having twice suggested that this drop in distance should suit. Dana Forever is a likely improver for this stable following her debut,
