13/2

Progressive sort. Shed maiden tag with impressive success over extended 5f at Bath in early August when making all and then ran in a very strong Doncaster nursery when not seeing out 7f. Likely contender.

Form: 9215

Gobi Sunset⁸⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 80| D

5/2

Off the mark on his fourth start when making all at Ayr in an improved performance. On a perfectly attractive mark on handicap debut and an eye-catching jockey booking. Leading hope.

Form: 5451

Fantom Force²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 76| D

22/1

Showed progress to breakthrough at Newbury over this trip but disappointing badly twice since over further. Trip couldn't be used as an excuse and a bit to answer now.

Port Winston^h²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: A King| OR: 75

16/1

Looked to have regressed before finishing strongly for a first win at Sandown over 5f. Did well off a slow pace and extra furlong should suit. Up 3lb but stable in very good form and likely more to come.

Form: 36851

Punchbowl Flyer^p1¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 74| BF| D

6/1

Winner at Brighton in a decent time despite not really handling the track and just a bit below that level in a tight finish over 7f on the AW on handicap debut subsequently. These conditions should suit better and potentially well handicapped.

Form: 5516

Little Brown Trout²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁷⁾| T: W Stone| OR: 73

25/1

Four-race maiden but on a decent mark based on his third start at Nottingham. May have been flattered by a slow tempo and a touch below that over this C&D on handicap debut.

Form: 6733

(8)

Kassab^b1¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 73

7/1

Progressed on his third start when fourth over this trip at Windsor. Travelled well and had to wait for a clear run but would still need to find some progress on handicap debut. First time blinkers added.

Form: 554

(3)

Dark Silver³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: E Walker| OR: 73

9/2

Son of Dark Angel has gone with promise in each of his last four starts, racing to a consistent level in the process. Others may be more progressive but possibilities once again.

Form: 93462

(10)

Order Of St John⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 72

7/1

Son of Coach House has shown steady progress in three starts to date and did well last time after being hampered early. On a perfectly reasonable opening mark on handicap debut and only likely to improve.

Form: 842

(4)

Outtake²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Harry Bentley| T: R Hannon| OR: 66

40/1

On a very good mark based on his first two starts but his next two have been most underwhelming. Easy to overlook at present.

Form: 5360

Forecasts

Gobi Sunset (5/2), Dark Silver (9/2), Punchbowl Flyer (6/1), Modern British Art (13/2), Kassab (7/1), Order Of St John (7/1), Port Winston (16/1), Fantom Force (22/1), Little Brown Trout (25/1), Outtake (40/1)

A really wide-open nursery and it's hard to rule too many out. There's a lot to like about the way Order Of St John has improved with each run and is on a feasibly winning mark on handicap debut. Returning to this ideal distance PUNCHBOWL FLYER is arguably the best handicapped and his Brighton win was a strong performance. Gobi Sunset took a big step forwards last time and for this trainer and jockey rates the most likely danger.
