Saffron Beach¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| CD

9/4

Didn't go unbacked when landing a good-ground C&D maiden in fine style 13 days ago. Much more on her plate this time but she's clearly a filly of some potential.

Form: 1

Setarhe⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Varian| OR: 97

15/2

Winner of 6f maiden on debut here in June and performed with credit in listed/Group company on next 3 starts. However, she was well held at York last time and Andrea Atzeni prefers Nazuna.

Form: 12340

Shine For You¹⁸

10/1

Failed by a whisker on Kempton debut prior to landing the odds in Leicester minor event (7f, good to firm). Significantly up in class on slower ground now but she remains open to improvement.

Form: 21

Thank You Next²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 93| D

9/1

Much improved upped to 7f when winning a nursery here (July course) in August. By no means disgraed in Doncaster listed race last time but this is more demanding and Sean Levey prefers Shine For You.

Form: 313145

Thinking Of You¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 101| D

3/1

Cosy winner of Limerick maiden on debut and unlucky not to finish closer when third in Group 3 company at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Further progress likely and she's a big player.

Form: 13

Forecasts

Saffron Beach (9/4), Nazuna (11/4), Thinking Of You (3/1), Mamba Wamba (9/2), Setarhe (15/2), Thank You Next (9/1), Shine For You (10/1), Quiet Assassin (20/1), Alicestar (28/1), Emulate Rose (150/1)

THINKING OF YOU was denied a clear run at a crucial stage when third in a Group 3 at the Curragh and, with further improvement on the cards and conditions no problem, she looks the one to be on. Saffron Beach created a very good impression when winning a C&D maiden on debut and she is feared, along with Nazuna, who brings the strongest form to the table courtesy of her effort in the Rockfel.
