Al Fahdaa⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Hannon| D

22/1

Backed at long odds and much improved on debut when landing 7f novice at Kempton 50 days ago, clear halfway but drifting left and just holding on. Should progress further so worth considering.

Form: 81

Coul Queen^t1⁶⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: P D Evans| OR: 84| D

50/1

Fair form when winning 7f Chepstow maiden in July but only sixth of 7 to Cobh in listed race at Salisbury (8f, good to soft) 64 days ago. Tongue strap on now and plenty more needed.

Form: 33156

Gift List²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harrison Shaw| T: K R Burke| OR: 82| D

5/1

Landed 7f novices at Newcastle and Redcar in August before good second of 27 in valuable novice at Newmarket (6f, heavy) 21 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Form: 2112

(9)

Little Kitten²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden

8/1

13/2, made winning debut in 11-runner maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 24 days ago. This is tougher but she's well bred and had bit in hand there so not ruled out for top yard.

Form: 1

(7)

Little Rollright⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 82

6/1

Confirmed debut promise when readily landing odds in 9-runner novice at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Has more to offer so she must enter calculations.

Form: 31

(3)

Love Is You⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton

9/4

Kingman filly made highly promising start when getting up late to win 6-runner novice (3/1) at Ascot (8f, good) 49 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Lots more to come so holds leading claims.

Form: 1

(8)

Sankalpa²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 75

16/1

Fair form when fourth in maidens at Salisbury (7f) and Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm). Has it to do on form but this stiffer test of stamina will suit so she's no forlorn hope.

Form: 44

(5)

Setantii Girl¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: J G Given| OR: 76

10/1

Debut winner of 6f Ripon novice in August before (10/3) improved form when second of 8 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 19 days ago. This is a lot more demanding, though.

Form: 192

(6)

Setarhe¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 93

4/1

Made a winning start at Newmarket in June and not disgraced when fifth of 9 to Saffron Beach in Oh So Sharp Stakes at Newmarket (7f, soft) 15 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Form: 123405

Forecasts

Love Is You (9/4), Setarhe (4/1), Gift List (5/1), Little Rollright (6/1), Little Kitten (8/1), Setantii Girl (10/1), Sankalpa (16/1), Al Fahdaa (22/1), Coul Queen (50/1)

LOVE IS YOU is bred to be high class, being by Kingman out of a Coronation Stakes winner, and showed undoubted promise when scoring on her debut at Ascot so is fancied to take this step up in class in her stride. John Gosden's Little Kitten is expected to take a big step forward from her Nottingham win so is feared most with Kempton-scorer Al Fahdaa also sure to be on the premises.
