(1)

Hellomydarlin¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: G Boughey| OR: 98| D

20/1

Winner on debut at Goodwood (6f) in June. Has generally run with credit in good company since, but her mark seems to overestimate her.

Form: 10235

(12)

Flaming Rib²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 95| D

16/1

Useful sort who doubled his tally by the barest of all margins in a nursery at Thirsk last time. Others are less exposed but he's a tough customer who should be thereabouts.

Form: 312031

(15)

Bosh¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 95| CD

11/4

Has done nothing but improve to this point, scoring twice (including over C&D) and putting up a cracking effort to finish second in a sales race at Naas 16 days ago. Leading claims in an open race.

Form: 2112

(9)

Jadhlaan¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Jim Crowley| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 92| C

6/1

Smooth winner of a novice here in June and took his form to a new level when runner-up in a nursery at Glorious Goodwod. Looks the type to put up another bold showing.

Form: 32182

(14)

Aleezdancer¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 88| D

28/1

Already a dual winner and wasn't disgraced from a tricky draw in a valuable sales event at Naas 16 days ago. Mark looks reasonable, so not a forlorn hope if things drop right.

Form: 41190

(2)

Mercurial⁵⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Hayley Turner| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 86| BF

50/1

Winner at Chester in May but below form third of 10 in minor event (8/11) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 58 days ago. Makes nursery debut and needs to bounce back.

Form: 2133

(21)

Roman Dragon¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 86| BF| D

25/1

Made all in good style in 6f small-field events at Chester twice before being found out by a drop in trip when only second in a nursery there last time. Back up in distance but drawn on the wing.

Form: 25112

(5)

Instinctive Move⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 86

14/1

Is out of a mare who was useful at 2 (won 5 times) and looked potentially smart himself when making a winning debut at Bath. Came unstuck in listed event at Sandown since, but remains with potential.

Form: 15

(17)

Papa Cocktail³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 83

10/1

Showed plenty in a hot Yarmouth novice in debut and confirmed that promise when winning at Haydock. Better than result in Superlative Stakes at Newmarket and back in calmer waters now, so considered.

Form: 318

(20)

Lady Lade³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: S H James| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 83

25/1

Promising individual who scored easily at Carlisle before defying a penalty in another novice at Hamilton 39 days ago. Open to further progress, so warrants consideration despite tricky draw.

Form: 511

(22)

Frankella²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 83| D

16/1

Off the mark at the third time of asking in 6f Newmarket maiden last month. Ran as well as could've been expected next time, but latest effort at Goodwood was sub-par. Others make more appeal.

Form: 57155

(16)

Wonderful World¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: David Probert| T: M R Channon| OR: 82| D

16/1

Well-related colt who was off the mark at the third attempt in a novice at Brighton 12 days ago. Opening mark seems about right, but there could well be more to come, so makes the shortlist.

Form: 231

(11)

I'm A Gambler²^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 82| D

12/1

Two from two in nurseries and, while he faces a penalty for a narrow success at Catterick just 2 days ago, he's not without a chance if the race doesn't come too soon.

Form: 225311

(6)

Sisters In The Sky²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: David Egan| T: R A Teal| OR: 81| D

12/1

Breeze-Up acquisition who upped his game to comfortably open his account in a maiden at Goodwood 22 days ago. This demands more but he may not have reached his limit.

Form: 351

(3)

Pockett Rockett³³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Megan Nicholls| T: K A Ryan| OR: 81| D

33/1

Left previous form behind when opening his account ina 5-runner maiden at Hamilton a month ago but this is significantly more competitive and others make more appeal.

Form: 431

(18)

Guest List¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-1| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁵⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 78

33/1

Much improved from debut when winning 9-runner maiden at Chester in June, then acquitted himself well when second under a penalty at Thirsk. Handicapper has taken no chances with opening mark, though.

Form: 412

(7)

Showtime Mahomes²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 78| BF

66/1

Overcame a troubled passage when landing 5f maiden at Musselburgh in June. Not disgraced in Super Sprint, then may have found race coming too soon at Beverley next time. Others preferred.

Form: 22107

(10)

Aristobulus⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: L Morris| T: J Ferguson| OR: 71| D

8/1

Relatively cheap purchase who looks well bought having landed 2 of his first 3 starts, having something to spare in a nursery at Nottingham 8 days ago. This is tougher, but he warrants respect.

Form: 151

(13)

Final Account¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: Alan Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75

66/1

Has shown a fair level of form in three outings to date and promises to be suited by a return to this trip. Stiff task from out of the weights on nursery debut, though.

Form: 255

(19)

Dark Tulip²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon| OR: 75

80/1

Fair form, putting her experience to good use when getting off the mark at Nottingham (5f, good) 20 days ago. This a whole lot tougher.

Form: 7261

Forecasts

Bosh (11/4), Jadhlaan (6/1), Aristobulus (8/1), Papa Cocktail (10/1), Sisters In The Sky (12/1), I'm A Gambler (12/1), Instinctive Move (14/1), Flaming Rib (16/1), Wonderful World (16/1), Frankella (16/1), Hellomydarlin (20/1), Lady Lade (25/1), Roman Dragon (25/1), Aleezdancer (28/1), Pockett Rockett (33/1), Guest List (33/1), Jastar (33/1), Ye Gud Thing (33/1), Mercurial (50/1), Showtime Mahomes (66/1), Final Account (66/1), Dark Tulip (80/1)

BOSH boasts a progressive profile and showed he's at home in a big field when second in a 22-runner sales race at Naas recently, so he has leading claims in an open race. Lady Lade, arriving on a hat-trick, also make plenty of appeal, while a bold showing from the tough Jadhlaan seems assured.
