I'm A Gambler⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 88

25/1

Gained a third 6f nursery win when seeing off 5 rivals at Hamilton last week. Clearly a useful juvenile but suspicion he'll be vulnerable under top weight here.

Form: 531101

Nooo More⁷³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 44

300/1

Well held in 3 novices for Luke McJannet in May/June. Needs to have been transformed by a trainer change.

Form: 800

(9)

Claim The Stars³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L Dettori| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 80

33/1

Fairly useful form when close second in Ayr novice and Kempton nursery (both 6f) on last 2 starts. Has Frankie Dettori in the saddle but he'll need a good deal of improvement to get off the mark here.

Form: 3822

(22)

Home City^p²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: S bin Suroor

11/1

Demoted after passing the post first in Newbury novice in July and gained compensation in 6f Chelmsford novice the following month. A fair bit more will be needed here, though.

Form: 602D1

(7)

Jazz Club^b1²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: R Varian| OR: 87

5/1

Has improved a chunk with each start, staying on strongly to comfortably see off 13 others in a 6f Windsor maiden last month. Blinkers added. More to come for yard with good record in this.

Form: 731

(2)

Oh Herberts Reign⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 81| D

25/1

Off the mark in 7f Thirsk maiden last Saturday but he's comfortably held by Ever Given on previous York form.

Form: 35261

(5)

Spitting Feathers²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 84

33/1

Left debut run here well behind when winning Carlisle novice in June. Not up the Gimcrack at York since but this a touch easier and the yard has had plenty run well in this over the years.

Form: 510

(17)

Robasta⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 82

33/1

Fairly useful colt who gained a deserved first success on nursery debut at Ascot (6f, good) in July. Didn't appear to stay 7f at Glorious Goodwood since and likely still in form.

Form: 232018

(6)

Beautiful Colour²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: E J Walsh| T: S bin Suroor

100/1

25/1, showed a bit when of 6 on 7f Wolverhampton debut 21 days ago. Open to improvement but a lot will be needed if she's to get heavily involved here.

Form: 5

(3)

Ever Given²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: D Tudhope| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 97| D

6/4

Four-time winner, including a valuable big-field sales race at York's Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm). That form been boosted since and another bold bid looks assured.

Form: 151141

(12)

Groom⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 79

66/1

Winner at Salisbury in June but below that level in 2 starts since. Others make more appeal.

Form: 35163

(15)

Harrow²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 95| D

3/1

Took 4 attempts to get off the mark but he's on the upgrade now if his success in a 7f York nursery 3 weeks ago is anything to go by. That form puts him firmly in the mix here.

Form: 82211

(20)

Live In The Dream⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Jason Hart| T: A West| OR: 89

33/1

Made a good start to his career in recent days, striking on 5f Wolverhampton debut at the end of August and close third at Lingfield (5f, AW) just 48 hours later. Longer trip to contend with now.

Form: 13

(4)

Ninky Nonk^p1⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 72

80/1

Fair maiden who was a creditable 2¼ lengths third to I'm A Gambler in nursery at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last week. First-time cheekpieces will need to spark plenty of improvement.

Form: 225493

Rocket Yogi²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Robert Tart| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

100/1

20/1, sixth of 9 in novice at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on debut 26 days ago. Open to progress but a major leap of improvement needed to go close.

Form: 6

(13)

System²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: W Buick| T: R Hannon| OR: 94

12/1

Much improved from her debut when 22/1-winner of 6f listed race at Newmarket in June. Far from disgraced in Princess Margaret at Ascot next time but well behind Ever Given at York since.

Form: 2158

(19)

Boondoggle⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Nicola Currie| T: C & M Johnston

80/1

Improved when dead-heating in 6f Newcastle novice in June but could only match that when fourth of 5 over 7f at York on his return to action on Sunday. Others a lot more obvious.

Form: 214

(8)

Desert²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: R Hannon| OR: 73

100/1

Came good in 6f Nottingham nursery in July. Had excuses at Leicester next time but she'll need to advance her form a good deal to get seriously competitive here.

Form: 46010

(1)

Symphony Perfect²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: R Hannon| OR: 85

16/1

Second in the Super Sprint at Newbury in July and reached the frame in another valuable event when 4½ lengths fourth of 20 to Ever Given at York 3 weeks ago. Each-way claims again.

Form: 221284

(21)

Luna Queen⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-1| J: D Fentiman| T: C Allen

150/1

Third on 6f Yarmouth debut but well held over 7f at Glorious Goodwood since. Big outsider here.

Forecasts

Ever Given (6/4), Harrow (3/1), Jazz Club (5/1), Home City (11/1), System (12/1), Symphony Perfect (16/1), I'm A Gambler (25/1), Oh Herberts Reign (25/1), Robasta (33/1), Live In The Dream (33/1), Claim The Stars (33/1), Spitting Feathers (33/1), King of The Dance (33/1), Groom (66/1), Perfect Glory (66/1), Boondoggle (80/1), Ninky Nonk (80/1), Rocket Yogi (100/1), Desert (100/1), Beautiful Colour (100/1), Luna Queen (150/1), Nooo More (300/1)

EVER GIVEN's York form has been boosted by the second/third finishing placed at listed/Group level since and he can emulate Wootton Bassett, who won the same York sales race and this valuable prize in 2010. Harrow posted a very useful performance when landing a nursery at the Ebor meeting and he's feared most ahead of Jazz Club, whose trainer Roger Varian has taken this twice since 2017.
