Wainwright Flying Childers Stakes (Group 2)

A'Ali²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: L Dettori| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 113| D

6/4

Found out in Group 1 company in the 6f Prix Morny last time, but had won the Norfolk Stakes and Prix Robert Papin prior to that, and will be a potent force returned to 5f and back at the level of those successes.

Form: 2115

Alligator Alley²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien| D

1/1

Has progressed with each start and was stopped in his run when runner-up to Liberty Beach in the Molecomb before winning a Listed race at York after again meeting trouble in running. Better to come when everything drops right, and respected.

Form: 43121

Dream Shot²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate| OR: 96| D

20/1

Back to winning ways at Chelmsford last month, and didn't get a clear run when eighth of 12 to Alligator Alley at York last time. Better than the bare form there, but so was the winner, and hard to see him turning the form around.

Form: 132718

Wheels On Fire⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: A Fogarty| D

12/1

Won in France earlier this year for Matthieu Palussiere, and ran his best race when fifth in the Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood. Makes debut for new yard here, and place claims if building on latest effort.

Form: 213025

Emten¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 86| D

66/1

Best effort to date when fifth to A'ali in the Norfolk Stakes at Ascot, but well held in the Super Sprint at Newbury, and couldn't take advantage of drop to median auction company last time.

Form: 1503

Flaming Princess¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 99| D

14/1

Beaten twice in Group races at Ascot, and has improved since, winning a Listed race at Deauville and third in a Group 3 at Chantilly last time, both at this trip. Not dismissed out of hand.

Form: 17813

(8)

Seize The Time²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: R L Moore| T: K R Burke| D

40/1

Well backed on her debut at Beverley (5f) where she justified favourtism, but failed to cope with the rise to Listed class at Newbury last time, and while probably better than that bare form, has plenty on her plate raised further in class.

Form: 19

Forecasts

Alligator Alley (1/1), A'Ali (6/4), Wheels On Fire (12/1), Golden Dragon (12/1), Flaming Princess (14/1), Dream Shot (20/1), Seize The Time (40/1), Emten (66/1)

A'ALI lost his unbeaten record in Group races last time, but his defeat in the Morny came over 6f, and the drop in class and trip ought to see him back to winning ways. Alligator Alley looks the main stumbling block, and will be better still when avoiding trouble, while Golden Dragon's Windsor win was franked when King's Lynn landed the big 2-y-o race here yesterday.
