Eevilynn Drew⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: R Eddery| D

9/4

Epaulette colt who defied a stiff task on debut with game success at Kempton (7f) in October. Has a 4lb penalty to contend with but not to be dismissed.

Form: 1

(2)

Astroman¹⁷⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: J M P Eustace

20/1

Garswood colt. Unfancied and sent off 100/1 for debut at Newmarket in the summer, finishing last of seven (7f) in a good-looking maiden. Still needs more.

Form: 7

(4)

Notforalongtime¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox

4/7

Paco boy colt. Slowly into stride and didn't get the clearest of runs on debut here (6f) but stayed on well to take fourth. Should go close again if improving on that.

Form: 4

(3)

Seventeen O Four¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: M L W Bell

12/1

Gutaifan gelding. Unfancied for debut and ran accordingly when 11L sixth over C&D last month. Yard not firing with AW youngsters so best watched.

Form: 6

(7)

Showmolina

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: D R Lanigan

8/1

Showcasing colt out of a mare who failed to win on the track. Half-brother to the smart 1m winner Neebras but pedigree isn't outstanding. Worth a betting check.

Form:

(6)

The Cherokee Kid

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans

20/1

Gelding by Anjaal. Dam unraced but has produced winners, including multiple scorers Ivestar and Belle Meade. Worth a check in the betting.

Form:

(1)

Union Spirit¹²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: P W Chapple-Hyam

18/1

Twice-raced maiden who has been well beaten in both starts, including 26L defeat at Newbury (7f) in August. Not seen since and makes return.

Form: 00

(8)

Dame Denali¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: William Carson| T: A Carson

66/1

Failed to figure when 9L tenth on debut and filled that same position over 1m here last time out. Tough ask and much more needed.

Form: 00

Forecasts

Notforalongtime (4/7), Eevilynn Drew (9/4), Showmolina (8/1), Seventeen O Four (12/1), Union Spirit (18/1), Astroman (20/1), The Cherokee Kid (20/1), Dame Denali (66/1)

NOTFORALONGTIME caught the eye on debut when making huge strides late on to just be beaten over a length on debut. With a clearer run that day he would've gone closer and with the weight pull in this he could be tough to beat. Eevllynn Drew was a smart winner on debut but the 4lb pull is off-putting, while Showmolina and The Cherokee Kid boast modest pedigrees and could be of note.
