(10)

Agent Shiftwell

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: S C Williams

11/2

Newcomer by Equiano is the first foal out of a Listed-placed 5f winning half-sister to crack sprinter The Tin Man. Interesting newcomer bred to be fast so worth a check in the market.

Form:

(3)

Brenner Pass²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 69

3/1

Improved in each of his three starts culminating in a second of 13 of at Southwell on the Fibresand latest. That form among the best on offer and should make a bold bid here.

Form: 062

(4)

Dark Phoenix⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: P & O Cole

8/1

Camacho colt ran a more than respectable race on debut a couple of weeks ago when third of 10 on the AW at Wolverhampton (front two well clear). Should again be in the hunt here with improvement possible.

Form: 3

(1)

Rocking Reg

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal

16/1

£13,000 breeze up purchase by Gutaifan out of a maiden daughter of Tiger Hill. Likely best watched on debut.

Form:

(2)

Rodin

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

5/2

Newcomer by Mayson. Cost 40,000gns as a yearling. Half-brother to five winners including Solar Magic and Starscope. This isn't an overwhelming assignment first time out, and he could go close. Market check advised.

Form:

(5)

Vitare

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: M R Channon

14/1

Newcomer by Sidestep cost 32,000gns as a yearling. Is a half-brother to winners Clem Fandango (5f 2yo inc Listed), Happy Sun Percy (6.5f) and Strummer (9.4f). Yard capable with newcomers; market check advised.

Form:

(7)

Ask Siri⁵⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 45

50/1

0-6 and now returns to novice company after experiencing a joyless time of things in handicaps. Drops back in trip to 5f, but is impossible to fancy on all she has shown so far. Watching brief advised.

Form: 508306

(8)

Chisana⁷⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: George Wood| T: C F Wall

50/1

Once raced daughter of Bated Breath finished ninth of 10 on debut here after some unruly behaviour in the paddock. Remains best watched for now.

Form: 9

(9)

Letscrackon⁷¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore

10/1

Produced an encouraging display on debut in what was a modest event over this course (6f) in August when fourth. Reproduction of that would be good enough to see her involved again.

Form: 4

(6)

Shani^p⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 58| D

13/2

Goodwood seller winner (5f, good/soft) back in June on her last run for David Evans. 0-6 for this yard having been tried at up to 7f. This trip and ground probably suit so place prospects here.

Form: 676835

Forecasts

Rodin (5/2), Brenner Pass (3/1), Agent Shiftwell (11/2), Shani (13/2), Dark Phoenix (8/1), Letscrackon (10/1), Vitare (14/1), Rocking Reg (16/1), Chisana (50/1), Ask Siri (50/1)

In a race lacking strength in depth recent AW second BRENNER PASS looks the one to side with for Richard Hughes. It won't need a particularly great newcomer to play a leading role here so Rodin for the prolific Balding yard has to be feared, Letscrackon is also a contender based on his lone previous start here.
