Cadeo^h¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti

6/1

Hooded for both starts and improved from debut (slowly away) when 3½L third of 10 to Cobber Kain in a C&D novice last time. Further improvement required here, but is at least unexposed.

Form: 93

Dragon Command^p⁶⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Bentley| T: George Scott| OR: 77

13/8

Didn't seem to take t a visor last time, but won a Hamilton novice in cheekpieces in July. Not discredited on nursery bow at York, and holds strong claims on pick of his form.

Form: 525140

Mac Mccarthy^p1²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 72| C| D

3/1

Won nurseries over 1m here and at Ffos Las (7½f) in August, but hit by a cumulative 17lb rise for those and has struggled in better races of late. Drops in class with cheekpieces tried now, and could well get back on track.

Form: 801164

Serious Jockin⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: George Bass⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 44

16/1

Well beaten on first few starts on turf, but benefited from drop in class and/or switch to AW when 2¼L second of 10 to Isobar Wind in a 7f seller at Wolverhampton last time. May do better on this surface, but does need to.

Form: 9592

Constanzia¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 65| C

9/2

Improved to land a 6f novice here in June, and has run to that level several times in defeat since. Not disgraced last time, and one to consider now dropped in class.

Form: 263866

(3)

Chromium^v¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M D I Usher| OR: 62

10/1

Placed twice in nurseries, and probably didn't need to improve to land a 6f seller at Wolverhampton on her latest start. Should remain competitive, although stamina for 7f not proven as yet.

Form: 244961

Forecasts

Dragon Command (13/8), Mac Mccarthy (3/1), Constanzia (9/2), Cadeo (6/1), Chromium (10/1), Serious Jockin (16/1)

DRAGON COMMAND flopped at Goodwood when tried in a visor, but is taken to get back to form down significantly in class and with his usual cheekpieces back on. Mac McCarthy also tries cheekpieces now and he's got every chance having struggled with a harsh handicap mark of late. Constanzia and Chromium also have claims on recent efforts, with the former perhaps the more solid on balance despite Chromium winning last time.
