Jackate²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears

100/1

Signs of ability in two starts so far most recently when 6¾L eighth in a 7f novice race at Newcastle at the start of this month. More needed if he's to take this contest however.

Form: 48

Khaloosy³²

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

5/4

Good effort in finishing 1L second in a 7f novice contest at Newcastle when making his debut a month ago. Represents a top yard and is a leading contender once more.

King Of Arms³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden

6/4

Ran well when beaten a neck in a novice race over this C&D when making his debut just over a month ago. Hails from a leading stable and holds strong claims of going one better.

Marie's Gem³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

50/1

Failed to build on a promising Musselburgh (7f, good-to-soft) debut when well beaten on the AW at Chelmsford (7f) last time out. Probably best watched at present.

Form: 40

Pawpaw²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: C G Cox

16/1

Slowly away when finishing 9L fifth in a 1m maiden at Kempton when making his debut last month. Likely to have improved for the experience but more needed if he's to take this event.

Form: 5

Red Missile⁷¹

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

11/1

Good 3L fourth in a 7f maiden at Newmarket (good) on debut in August but failed to replicated that effort upped to 1m at Salisbury (good) the following month. Interesting to see how he performs on this occasion.

Shumba

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Hayley Turner| T: D M Simcock

25/1

Unraced Kitten's Joy colt bought for €75,000 at the breeze-up sales in the spring. Dam a winner on turf in the US and he is worth a check in the market on debut.

Summit Reach

16/1

Unraced Dansii colt and a half-brother to dual Group 1 winner Harlem. Dam scored on debut at two and interesting to see how he performs on first appearance on the track.

Unraced home-bred Pivotal colt out of a mare who won over an extended 1m in France as a three-year-old. Probably best watched on racecourse debut.

Forecasts

Khaloosy (5/4), King Of Arms (6/4), Cedar Cage (10/1), Red Missile (11/1), Dollar Bid (11/1), Summit Reach (16/1), Pawpaw (16/1), Orczy (16/1), Fierospeed (20/1), Shumba (25/1), Marie's Gem (50/1), Superior Moment (66/1), Jackate (100/1)

KING OF ARMS performed well when placed on debut and he can go one better than when finishing runner-up on that occasion. The selection represents a top yard and can get the better of Khaloosy who also placed second on debut and is making his first AW start in this event. Third place in a decent looking novice race can go to the unraced Frankel colt Dollar Bid.
