(7)

Dreamy Rascal¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 61

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden, managed only sixth of seven in minor event at Salisbury (6f, good; 20-1) 11 days ago, perhaps took keen in early stages. Makes nursery bow.

Form: 6646

(3)

Sparkling Diamond⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: P J McBride| OR: 59

7/1

Not achieved a lot in four starts, latest when well held at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in July. Perhaps will fare better back on this surface, with June's Chelmsford novice run promising.

Form: 0766

(4)

Castel Angelo¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Dane O'Neill| T: H Candy| OR: 58

11/8

Finished seventh of 18 in minor event at Leicester (7f, good, 16-1) 12 days ago on third start. Has tended to race a bit keenly, makes nursery bow and needs to improve.

Form: 597

(1)

Activius^b1¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: B J Meehan| OR: 58

6/1

Baltic King colt, well held in three turf maidens to this point. Sports first-time blinkers for this switch to AW surface and has more to find on nursery bow.

Form: 660

(2)

Sir Rodneyredblood¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: T P Queally| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 53

8/1

Has shown promise, though could only manage fifth in a C&D nursery in July when things fell perfectly for him. Has to improve on that evidence.

Form: 0055

(9)

Oribi¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 53

8/1

Muhaarar filly, well-back on handicap bow at Wolverhampton (5f, AW; 7-2f) last time but couldn't oblige, eventually finishing eighth of ten. Remains early days and should do better.

Form: 7948

(8)

Kahpehlo¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Liam Jones| T: J J Bridger| OR: 52

33/1

Has gone off big prices in four turf runs over 6f/7f so far, unable to get competitive. Makes AW/nursery bow here and needs a big step forward.

Form: 5689

(5)

Grace Plunkett^b¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁷⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 51

6/1

Finished fourth of 12 on nursery bow over C&D last month, despite being hampered at the start. Likely to improve on that bare form and should get involved in the shake-up.

Form: 07444

(10)

Shaun's Delight^b1²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Raul Da Silva| T: R Harris| OR: 50

20/1

Snippets of form give him a chance; but latest run was a step backwards when tried back over this trip (on good ground at Lingfield). Now 3lb lower in the ratings but still dangerous to overlook on AW debut with blinkers tried first time.

Form: 68947

(6)

Gelsmoor Bay²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

50/1

Cable Boy filly, hasn't beaten a rival home in her three qualifying runs and makes no appeal on this switch to a nursery. Has plenty to prove.

Form: 088

Forecasts

Castel Angelo (11/8), Activius (6/1), Grace Plunkett (6/1), Sparkling Diamond (7/1), Sir Rodneyredblood (8/1), Oribi (8/1), Dreamy Rascal (10/1), Shaun's Delight (20/1), Kahpehlo (33/1), Gelsmoor Bay (50/1)

Hard to get carried away on the chances of anything here but there was some decent promise from SPARKLING DIAMOND in a 7f Chelmsford novice in June, the form of which now looks quite useful. She didn't build on that at Leicester since but could do so back on an artificial surface. Grace Plunkett ran well over C&D last month and is a danger with a handy claim on her back while Shaun's Delight might snatch some minor money.
