Isobar Wind^b¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: P D Evans| OR: 65

6/4

Both wins have been in sellers and this very much his grade. Latest run over 1m on heavy ground can be forgiven and has won only start on the AW at Wolverhampton so must be respected in such a weak race.

Blue Slate^p1²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: L P Keniry| T: J S Moore

20/1

No promise when beating just two home when sent off 125/1 on heavy ground Newbury debut last month. Makes quick drop into selling company and needs to take a big step forward.

Hootenanny¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Levi Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: A West| OR: 50

50/1

Very poor form in maidens and a pair of nurseries and needs this drop into selling company to bring about plenty of improvement.

Form: 96008

(3)

Jim 'n' Tomic^b1¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 66

12/1

His placed effort in a Newbury maiden in May is the standout piece of form on offer but last three runs have been miles below that and not sure if he can be trusted despite this drop in class.

Form: 7D6080

Mr Bowjangles^h1¹⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: S W Kelly| T: Miss Gay Kelleway

16/1

Beat just the one rival in a pair of maidens on the turf in the summer. Not seen since and wears a hood for the first time on this drop in class

Form: 70

(6)

No Can Do^p1,t⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 59

12/1

Showed a modicum of ability on second start at Kempton but has failed to build on that and never travelling when well behind at Wolverhampton on Monday. Cheekpieces need to inspire him.

Form: 0477

(8)

Rains Of Castamere¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: M R Channon

9/4

Hasn't shown much in two maidens but bit reportedly slipped through mouth last time and could do better now down into selling company. Market support would be interesting.

Form: 96

Prairie Moppins⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S Kirk| OR: 56

8/1

Chelmsford fourth last month puts her in the mix and while her nursery runs since have been below that, there was support for her at Kempton and this drop to selling company should see her in a better light.

Form: 09406

Saracen Star²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: J S Moore

12/1

Like her stable companion Blue Slate she was out the back at huge odds on Newbury debut a month ago and despite the drop in grade, needs to improve a good deal.

Xquisite¹²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Moore

33/1

Another in the race trained by Stan Moore and she showed nothing on Windsor debut and it was a similar story in France in July when last seen. Plenty to prove now.

Form: 09

Forecasts

Isobar Wind (6/4), Rains Of Castamere (9/4), Prairie Moppins (8/1), Saracen Star (12/1), No Can Do (12/1), Jim 'n' Tomic (12/1), Mr Bowjangles (16/1), Blue Slate (20/1), Xquisite (33/1), Hootenanny (50/1)

Even by selling standards this is a desperately weak contest and at least ISOBAR WIND has gained both his wins in this grade and he may be up to defying the penalty. Rains Of Castamere could be open to a bit of improvement and if that is the case he should play a part, while Prairie Moppins is another who has hinted at ability and completes the short list
