Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: C Hills| D

20/1

Cotai Glory colt who confirmed Newmarket debut promise when battling well to land 7-runner Nottingham novice (6f) 4 weeks ago. This understandably tougher but he's open to further progress.

Melayu Kingdom¹³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan

17/2

Mehmas colt who justified strong support when making a winning debut in a Thirsk maiden (5f) in April, quickening to lead final 100 yds and winning readily. Absent since but looks sure to do better.

Mot And The Messer²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 93| CD

11/1

Off the mark in a C&D novice at second attempt in June. Well held in Group 2 next time but quickly back on track when making all in 3-runner Chester novice (6f) 4 weeks ago. Should go well again.

Object³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Meade| D

11/1

65,000 gns purchase who left debut effort in his wake when winning Newmarket minor event (6f) last month, needing only hands-and-heels riding to assert. Type to go on improving.

Form: 81

Taj Alriyadh¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 92| CD

9/2

Arrives boasting a 100% record, posting a career-best effort to complete the hat-trick in a C&D conditions' event earlier this month. Suspicion he has even more to offer and on the shortlist here.

Form: 111

Wonderful World¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: M R Channon| OR: 82| D

16/1

Easy winner of a Brighton novice (6f) earlier this month and didn't shape at all badly when sixth in big field York nursery subsequently. However, work to do with a number here on these terms.

4/1

Steadily progressive front-running filly who ran a cracker to finish runner-up in valuable sales race at York (6f) earlier this month. Versatile as regards ground and sound claims of getting involved.

Eidikos^h1¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Rowan Scott| T: E Bethell

40/1

Ardad filly who landed a Beverley maiden with more than the bare margins suggest on debut 3 weeks ago, always holding on under hands-and-heels ride. More needed here but type to progress.

Flotus¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: S De Sousa| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 91| D

6/1

Well backed when impressively landing a 6f Goodwood maiden on debut in May. Yet to progress at a higher level, sixth in fillies' listed race at Newbury (5f) earlier this month. Others preferred.

Form: 1066

Hellomydarlin¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Mark Crehan| T: G Boughey| OR: 102| D

9/2

Landed a Goodwood maiden (6f) on debut in June and easily her best effort since when close-up third in big-field York nursery (6f), looking well served by coming off a strong pace. Player.

Forecasts

Atomic Lady (4/1), Hellomydarlin (9/2), Taj Alriyadh (9/2), Flotus (6/1), Melayu Kingdom (17/2), Object (11/1), Mot And The Messer (11/1), Kingboard Star (16/1), Wonderful World (16/1), Golden Warrior (20/1), Eidikos (40/1)

A winner on debut at Goodwood in June, HELLOMYDARLIN produced her best effort yet when finishing a close-up third in a York nursery recently, looking well served by coming off a strong pace. A repeat gives her sound claims back up in class and she gets the nod. That said, the unbeaten Taj Alriyadh should give her plenty to think about and is a big threat. Atomic Lady is also respected.
