Albasheer⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| CD

7/4

Shamardal colt who looked something out of the ordinary when surging away from a subsequent winner in a C&D novice on debut. Loads more to come and makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 1

(2)

Broxi²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 98| D

80/1

Has quickly upped his game, winning brace of 7f events at Musselburgh in July and emerged with credit when third in the face of a stiff task tackling the Group 3 Acomb. This requires a lot more.

Form: 73113

Chindit⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 107| CD

15/8

Justified support over C&D on debut, then ran out an impressive winner of a listed event (that's proving strong form) at Ascot 49 days ago. Sets the standard with more to come, so excellent claims.

Form: 11

Devious Company²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 106| BF| D

7/1

Quickly developed into a smart performer and already runner-up twice in pattern company. Unable to add to tally in sales races the last twice but return to this trip will suit.

Mujbar¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: C Hills| D

16/1

Well-bred colt who left an underwhelming debut firmly behind him when powering away to land a Newmarket novice by a wide margin 15 days ago. Worth a crack a try at this level.

Form: 81

(4)

Saint Lawrence²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 98| D

16/1

Fourth in the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket on his third outing and resumed progress to land a listed event at Newbury last month. Likely to come up short back in this grade, however.

Form: 41441

(3)

State Of Rest²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 100

13/2

Useful colt who wasn't seen to best effect when fourth in a sales race at Naas 20 days ago but lacks the potential of a few rivals here.

Form: 1254

Forecasts

Albasheer (7/4), Chindit (15/8), State Of Rest (13/2), Devious Company (7/1), Mujbar (16/1), Saint Lawrence (16/1), Broxi (80/1)

CHINDIT has looked well above-average in winning both his starts to date and can improve again to give his yard successive wins in this event. Emphatic debut scorer Albasheer is the clear danger, though Mujbar is hard to rule out after routing a reasonable novice field at Newmarket on his latest appearance.
