9/1

Fair form first 2 starts in 5f minor/maiden events prior to looking a hard ride when sixth in a Salisbury novice (6f) in June. However, gelded subsequently and he may yet get back on the up.

Form: 456

15/2

Foaled March 8. £15,000 2-y-o, Cotai Glory colt. Dam unraced out of useful 2-y-o 6f winner (stayed 8.5f) Jira. Yard can ready a newcomer and worth a check in the betting for clues.

5/1

65,000 gns purchase who was sent off at 11/2 but he could only run to a poor level when eighth in a 9-runner Newbury maiden (5f) in April. Given a break since and no surprise to see a better showing.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A Murphy

100/1

Twilight Son colt who showed only greenness when last of 6 in a Lingfield novice (6f) on debut earlier this month. This should reveal more.

7/1

Mastercraftsman sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Rakete and closely related to smart 6f/7f winner Laddies Poker Two, herself dam of 1000 Guineas winner Winter. Makes obvious appeal on paper and one to note.

Form:

(1)

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Liam Jones| T: H Spiller

28/1

9,500 gns 2-y-o, Holy Roman Emperor filly. Kept on gradually having struggled with the early pace when eighth of 11 in a Chelmsford maiden (6f) in June. May do better with that behind her.

Form: 8

(3)

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: M Botti

25/1

Foaled April 26. £4,500 yearling, Fast Company filly. Dam, 11.6f/1½m winner, sister to smart 1¼m winner Glorious Protector. Market should guide ahead of racecourse debut.

200/1

10,000 gns purchase was was sent off at 33/1 and soon beaten in a Newbury novice event (6f) earlier this month. Passed over here.

Lil Guff¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: D & C Kubler

3/1

Twilight Son filly who proved sharper second time up when keeping on for second in a Newbury novice (6f) earlier this month. That form only a little better than modest but claims of making the frame.

Form: 72

(6)

Made In Brockley²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: James Doyle| T: G Boughey

9/2

Belardo filly who offered something to work on amidst greenness when midfield in a Thirsk novice (6f) last month, flashing tail and no extra last ½f. May do better with that experience behind her.

Form: 6

(7)

Sian Mist¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes

80/1

Garswood filly who proved friendless in betting and duly offered little when tenth in a 12-runner C&D maiden earlier this month. Passed over here.

Forecasts

Lil Guff (3/1), Made In Brockley (9/2), Object (5/1), Serenity (7/1), Golden Warrior (15/2), Berkshire Phoenix (9/1), Astral Beat (12/1), Patient Man (12/1), Capla Fever (25/1), Boadicea Belle (28/1), John O'Groats (33/1), Bulleit (33/1), Warrior Square (50/1), Sian Mist (80/1), Ringo Starlight (100/1), Langley Lady (200/1)

Those with previous form don't set a tall standard and it may pay to side with newcomer SERENITY. She makes plenty of appeal for a powerful stable and a bold showing may well be on the cards. Berkshire Phoenix, on the back of being gelded, may get back on the up, whilst Lil Guff and another newcomer Golden Warrior complete the shortlist.
