Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton

4/6

Nicely-bred Raven's Pass filly, made winning start on the AW at Kempton in June over 7f (form working out) and likely has major say with slightly longer trip favourable despite penalty.

Well-related Ivawood colt, improved to runner-up at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago on second appearance. Room for further step forward now upped in distance.

20/1

Mukhadram colt, has shaped with some promise in two maidens so far, one of them 7f on this track. Needs to take a step forward to get off the mark.

Form: 74

Passing Fashion⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett

3/1

Raven's Pass gelding with stamina in pedigree, outpaced on debut at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) recently and this step up in distance looks the right move.

Form: 4

33/1

€40,000 yearling, Gutaifan gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 1m Isole Canarie. Could be ready to take a hand in this first time out.

Forecasts

Wren (4/6), Passing Fashion (3/1), Commit No Nuisance (9/2), Ten Chants (10/1), Forus (20/1), Wailea Nights (25/1), Bad Attitude (25/1), Webuyanyhorse (33/1), Dazzling Darren (33/1), Costello (40/1), Margaretha (66/1)

Her debut win at Kempton is already working out quite nicely and the suspicion is there will be plenty more to come from WREN now. This appears to be a very presentable opportunity for Roger Charlton's filly to double her tally. Commit No Nuisance improved on second start at Newbury and can give the selection a race while Passing Fashion is likely to do better over this trip having been outpaced somewhat on debut, where she did show some promise. Webuyanyhorse is perhaps most interesting of the newcomers.
