Dickens¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: A King

17/2

Excelebration colt who knew his job whilst leaving the impression he would come forward from the run when 7 lengths fifth in a 7f Newbury maiden last month. Better to come for very good yard.

Golden Flame³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 90| BF

11/4

Pleasing start when runner-up in a Haydock maiden (7f) in June and not discredited either outing since, one paced in fifth at Goodwood (7f) latest. Step up to 1m promises to suit now.

Form: 245

Longlai¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 82| BF

8/1

Good start to career when placed in novice/maiden events at 7f but disappointing dropped to 6f/encountering softer ground when fourth at Windsor last time. Still, experience should count for plenty.

Form: 234

Forecasts

Golden Flame (11/4), Mahomes (11/4), Zinc White (4/1), Longlai (8/1), Dickens (17/2), Colden's Passion (16/1), Eagle Springs (20/1), Going Gone (22/1), You're So Sharp (28/1), Pride Of Hawridge (50/1)

An interesting novice event on paper with the vote in favour of impeccably-bred newcomer MAHOMES. Out of multiple Group 1 winner The Fugue, he's in excellent hands and it would come as no surprise to see a bold showing. Golden Flame has shaped as if 1m would suit ideally at this stage and he's a lead player also, whilst Longlai and Dickens complete the shortlist.
