17/2

Winner at Newcastle on debut in June. Wasn't quite at his best when third in 6f novice event at Yarmouth last time, but has to be respected on the pick of his form.

Kadupul^t1²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: W J Haggas| OR: 80| D

18/1

Won 5-runner maiden at Yarmouth in June. Well held in Newmarket listed event next time but his latest effort at Salisbury excusable (denied a run). Tongue strap on for the 1st time.

Form: 158

3/1

Much improved from debut when second of 8 in maiden (5/4) at Beverley (5f, good) 19 days ago, going like the best horse at the weights. Must enters calculations on nursery debut.

Power Station²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 75

13/2

Wiser for debut when third in a Lingfield novice (7f, turf). Ran as well as could have been expected in valuable sales race at York but well held on Doncaster nursery debut last time.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Sullivan| T: J G Given| OR: 75| D

10/3

Made a successful debut at Ripon (6f) in August, really getting the hang of things late on. Well held in Ayr Group 3 since but this clearly less demanding.

Forecasts

Tahonta (3/1), Ballyconneely Bay (3/1), Setantii Girl (10/3), Fayathaan (11/2), Power Station (13/2), Rogue Nation (8/1), Under Fox (8/1), Toussarok (17/2), Kadupul (18/1)

A tricky race, but TAHONTA went like the best horse at the weights when second at Beverley last month and looks to have been handed a fair opening mark, so he seems as likely as any. Toussarok is respected on the pick of his form, with C&D winner Ballyconneely Bay and Rogue Nation others to note.
