Great Image²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: H Crouch| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 77

2/1

Has improved with each run and finished clear of the rest when just finding one too good last time. Represents a yard with a good record here and will be expected to go close from a handy draw.

Form: 822

Shoot To Kill²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Hayley Turner| T: George Scott| OR: 76

5/1

Split horses now rated 90 and 83 over C&D in September. Probably found 7f and soft ground against him last time and no surprise to see him give a good account off an attractive mark.

Form: 4620

Many A Star⁵⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: J G Given| OR: 74

5/1

Third to a useful pair on penultimate start, but form of his latest outing makes him no better than fairly weighted for his nursery debut.

Form: 834

Live In The Moment²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A West| OR: 74

8/1

Unlucky to find one too good on last couple of starts. A line through his latest conqueror gives him plenty to find with Shoot To Kill.

Form: 68422

Heer We Go Again⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: P D Evans| OR: 74

25/1

Proved a speedy early season sort suited to quick ground. Had been absent four months prior to finishing last on nursery debut when conditions and a poor draw played their part. Dropped 5lb in the weights for that so worth a look in the market.

Form: 732210

Harlequin⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Knight| OR: 72

7/1

Has regressed in each of two starts since a promising second on debut while still looking in need of experience. Needs to get back to his initial level of form to hold any chance and the draw does not help.

Form: 236

Taste The Nectar^p³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 71| CD

12/1

Opened her account at the seventh time of asking over C&D under this rider a month ago. The runner-up has scored since but she is not as well drawn this time.

Form: 002501

Sir Oliver^b1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 71

10/1

Full-brother to the speedy Mecca's Angel has produced mixed performances so far. Best effort came on sole AW start so hard to discount, although the fitting of blinkers prompts a market check.

Form: 6839

(10)

Deverell^v1²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 71

22/1

Disappointing son of Kingman reverts to sprinting after two tame AW efforts over a mile. Visor applied this time but hard to see what he has done to earn this opening handicap mark.

Form: 676

Jim 'n' Tomic³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: J F Egan| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 71

28/1

Has looked a quirky sort and wind surgery has not inspired any improvement in his last two starts. Now gelded and a watching brief looks advisable.

Form: 7D608

(9)

Alfies Watch⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 71

25/1

Proved his Bath (5f; firm) third two starts back was no fluke when making the frame again at Kempton (6f; standard to slow) in September. In a better race this time on handicap debut.

Form: 933

(5)

Sir Gordon⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Charles Bishop| T: R J Smith| OR: 66

66/1

Placed in a couple of sellers for Mick Channon before beating only one home on handicap/stable debut. Has plenty to find off the same mark just one week later.

Form: 62030

Forecasts

Great Image (2/1), Many A Star (5/1), Shoot To Kill (5/1), Harlequin (7/1), Live In The Moment (8/1), Sir Oliver (10/1), Qinwan (10/1), Taste The Nectar (12/1), Fair Pass (12/1), Deverell (22/1), Heer We Go Again (25/1), Alfies Watch (25/1), Jim 'n' Tomic (28/1), Sir Gordon (66/1)

Great Image deserves a change of luck having found one too good on his latest starts but he may have to play a supporting role again as SHOOT TO KILL has been given a great chance by the handicapper. His C&D second when splitting a horse who has been placed in good company since and another who scored by 4L next time suggests the handicapper has given him a chance to open his account. He has been dropped in the weights having made much of the running over 7f on soft ground in a valuable Newmarket nursery and the switch back to sprinting can only help. C&D winner Taste The Nectar has more to do, but Heer We Go Again could go well at a decent price.
