Dubai Honour¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas| OR: 90| D

7/2

Well-bred colt who progressed again to get off the mark in 11-runner novice event at Haydock (8.2f, good) 2 weeks ago, looming up and quickening to lead over 1f out. Will go on improving.

Form: 421

(5)

Just Fine²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 90| D

11/2

Sea The Stars colt who improved plenty to make his second start a winning one in 11-runner Sandown novice (1m) 24 days ago. That form has been boosted since and he'll go on improving.

Form: 41

(11)

Classic Lord¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 85| D

22/1

Came on plenty for debut to win 10-runner maiden at Goodwood (1m) in August. Followed up under a penalty in straightforward fashion at Pontefract and he's a useful middle-distance 3-y-o in the making.

Form: 611

(3)

Master Zoffany¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 82| D

14/1

Has improved with each run thus far, opening his account on his nursery bow at Ripon (1m) a fortnight ago. Things are unlikely to pan out so well this time but further improvement can't be ruled out.

Form: 351

(1)

Northern Express²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 82| BF

11/4

Backed at long odds and overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in good style at Beverley (7.4f). Failed to build on that at Ayr but wasn't seen to best effect and remains with potential.

Form: 12

(4)

The Flying Ginger¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 79

25/1

Winning debut at Chester in August and back to a similar level when second in 16-runner nursery at Newmarket 2 weeks ago, albeit helped by ending up on the favoured part of the track.

Form: 1892

(8)

Galah³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: S M Levey| T: R M Beckett| OR: 79| D

20/1

Australia filly out of a 1¼m winner. Hadn't been seen to best effect on her Newmarket nursery debut and duly got back on the up when making all at Thirsk (1m) last month. Respected off 4 lb higher.

Form: 3251

(10)

Grantley³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: David Egan| T: J D Bethell| OR: 78| BF

66/1

Redcar debut winner who ran to a similar level as previously when ½-length second of 5 in nursery at Newcastle (8f, 7/4) 37 days ago. This is tougher but has the same mark to work with.

Form: 12432

(6)

Heights Of Abraham²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 78

6/1

Given considerate ride on debut and improved when winning 10-runner maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f). Took another step forward when second on Ayr nursery bow since and still unexposed.

Form: 412

(7)

Eclipse De Lunar²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77| D

11/1

Improved on debut form when narrowly getting the better of Northern Express in 1m novice at Ayr 23 days ago, staying to lead close home. Open to further improvement.

Form: 21

(2)

State Patrol¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75

11/1

Maiden who ran his best race and was unlucky not to finish closer when second of 9 in Nottingham nursery (8.3f) 13 days ago. This is harder but may have more to offer now back on right path.

Form: 34852

Forecasts

Northern Express (11/4), Dubai Honour (7/2), Just Fine (11/2), Heights Of Abraham (6/1), Eclipse De Lunar (11/1), State Patrol (11/1), Master Zoffany (14/1), Galah (20/1), Classic Lord (22/1), The Flying Ginger (25/1), Grantley (66/1)

DUBAI HONOUR quickened up well to win easily at Haydock a fortnight ago and looks a useful colt in the making for tis top yard, so he just about edges the vote. Just Fine boasts a similar profile to the selection and is another to keep onside, as is Northern Express, who shaped like easily the best horse in a race at Ayr 23 days ago.
