10/3

Much improved from debut when winning soft-ground maiden at Goodwood before following up in 4-runner heavy-ground nursery at Nottingham. Likely to progress further and stamina is assured.

Form: 611

Oman²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 85

5/2

Getting better with each run, runner-up in novice at Haydock last time. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Not taken lightly.

Form: 022

Love Is Golden²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 84

10/1

Left debut well behind when keeping on well to score at Ripon (1m, good to soft). Not beaten far in class 2 event at Nottingham since and step up in trip should suit on nursery bow.

Form: 814

Impulsive One³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 81

10/1

Progressive colt who got off the mark at the fourth attempt in 7-runner nursery at Bath (8f, firm) 37 days ago, readily. Up in trip. Leading player.

10/1

Winner at Windsor in August and quickly back to form when 1¼ lengths second of 4 to Act of Wisdom in nursery at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. 2 lb better off with that rival here.

Zakaria⁵⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 75

20/1

Similar form when fourth in novice events at Sandown/Goodwood and big step forward required off this opening mark.

Form: 44

Olympic Theatre²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M L W Bell| OR: 72

6/1

Mayson gelding who has hit the frame all 5 starts to date, albeit proving consistent rather than progressive. Longer trip needs to bring about some improvement.

Form: 32342

Rewired¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: S De Sousa| T: D Menuisier| OR: 69

5/1

Some promise at Newbury on debut and didn't need to improve to win weak event at Lingfield. Step up in trip will suit but opening mark looks plenty high enough on what he has achieved so far.

Forecasts

Oman (5/2), Act Of Wisdom (10/3), Rewired (5/1), Olympic Theatre (6/1), Genuflex (10/1), Love Is Golden (10/1), Impulsive One (10/1), Bear Me In Mind (10/1), Zakaria (20/1), Parish Academy (40/1)

ACT OF WISDOM is a progressive, well-bred colt who's proven on testing ground and over this trip, so looks the most solid option. Impulsive One was impressive at Bath last month and rates the main threat, while Love Is Golden is going the right way and should be suited by this longer trip being a close relation to Sea of Class.
