Angel On High

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: H J L Dunlop

12/1

Dark Angel colt. Half-brother to various winners, including 1m2f Group 2 winner Knight To Behold. Classy pedigree and shouldn't be discounted on racecourse debut.

Beauty Choice¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes

7/1

Sent off rank outsider for debut but ran well above expectation when closing fifth of 11 in 7f Kempton contest. No reason why he can't improve again and merits respect.

Form: 5

Bold Suitor²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Hanagan| T: E Walker

12/1

Looked in need of the run and performed greenly on debut when seventh of 10 at Wolverhampton (7f) earlier this month. Will build on that effort but bit more needed.

Form: 7

Born A King

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

11/4

Frankel colt. Dam was winner over 1m in France and half-sister to 1m winner Dancetrack. Hails from a top yard so not without hope.

Borstal Bull

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Gray| T: Phillip Makin

33/1

£37,000 yearling purchase. Dam was nothing special on the track but is a sister to 6f winner Hold Your Colour. Not the greatest pedigree on paper so best watched on debut.

(2)

Brunch

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods

16/1

Gelding by Harbour Watch. Dam was a winner over 1m and related to smart sprinter Astrophysical Jet. Appears to be one who may get better with age.

Form:

(15)

Camahawk

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

25/1

75,000 gns yearling purchase. Half-brother to smart dual-purpose performer Hawk High. Dam was unraced so not much known on pedigree but yard have been in good form recently.

Form:

(3)

Emerald Swalk

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby

40/1

€22,000 foal. Half-brother to 1m2f winner Menin Gate but pedigree lacks much winning appeal. Yard in good form but others appeal more on paper. Best watched.

Form:

(14)

Free Cash

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: N Tinkler

40/1

£22,000 yearling by Cable Bay. Dam was a modest performer over middle distances, but pedigree doesn't read as well as it should do and this looks a tall order.

Form:

(9)

Grey Eminence

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Barry McHugh| T: J G Given

40/1

Cheap £7,000 purchase as a yearling. By smart performer including dual winners Two Weeks and Expert Answer. Likeable enough pedigree but yard rarely have juvenile winners. Limited appeal.

Form:

(8)

Imperial Command¹⁷⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: J & A O'Neill

12/1

Inexperienced sort but shaped encouragingly when fourth of 10 in 5f Windsor maiden earlier in the Summer. Not seen since that effort and faces drastic step up in trip. Market should be informative.

Form: 4

(4)

Magnetised

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian

7/4

Shamardal colt. Half-brother to smart dual purpose performer Qewy. Dam was useful performer and half-sister to supersire Dubawi. Regal pedigree from powerful yard so can't be dismissed.

Form:

(12)

Whosegottheshekles

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler

66/1

Already a gelding by Footstepsinthesand. Has several winners in pedigree, including 1m performer Moran Gra. Nicely bred but yard rarely have a juvenile winner.

Forecasts

Magnetised (7/4), Nova Roma (9/4), Born A King (11/4), Beauty Choice (7/1), Thumur (8/1), Imperial Command (12/1), Bold Suitor (12/1), Angel On High (12/1), Brunch (16/1), Camahawk (25/1), Cobnut (25/1), Borstal Bull (33/1), Grey Eminence (40/1), Emerald Swalk (40/1), Free Cash (40/1), Whosegottheshekles (66/1)

Another intriguing contest which throws in some debutantes into the sphere, preference is for MAGNETISED, who has a striking pedigree given his close relations to Dubawi and hails from a yard who can ready one for their debut efforts. Thumur also has a similarly regal pedigree and may turn out to be a nice prospect in time but his yard's form with juveniles is of concern, while the likes of Nova Roma and Beauty Choice both hail from yards who are in flying form of present.
