(6)

St Andrew's Castle³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: I Jardine| OR: 79

8/1

Overcame inexperience to land 6f maiden at Ayr on debut in June. Stepped up on that form when fourth at Thirsk last month, faring best of those held up, and may do better still now stepping up to 7f.

Form: 14

(11)

Sharp Riposte²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: M Botti| OR: 79

16/1

Showed a good attitude to share the spoils at Newcastle in June. Not seen to best effect up in trip at Wolverhampton subsequently and it's likely this type of scenario will suit him better.

Form: 3314

(8)

Outgate²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Nicola Currie| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 77| D

13/2

Outstrip colt who created a good impression in making a winning start at Wolverhampton (7.1f) in July. Ran to a similar under a penalty at Yarmouth but only seventh on nursery debut at York last time.

Form: 137

(10)

Mystery Fox³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 77

15/8

Lightly-raced maiden who was caught further back than ideal when fifth of 14 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Makes handicap debut and could yet do better.

Form: 7335

(13)

Flaming Lord³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 76

6/1

Matched his previous form when second in 8.3f novice at Nottingham last month. Handed a fair opening mark and should go well again.

Form: 7322

(7)

Exminster²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: E Bethell| OR: 75| BF| D

5/1

£22,000 Ribchester colt who was strong in betting and duly made a successful bow in 7f Redcar novice. Could only match that form when third under a penalty at Ripon but may do better now handicapping.

Form: 13

(5)

International Boy¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 72| BF

22/1

Maiden who got back on track returned to calmer waters when second in 6f novice at Redcar but is exposed and therefore remains vulnerable.

Form: 352202

(3)

Sir Min⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 72

8/1

Maiden who shaped well on yard bow after 8 weeks off when good second of 6 in nursery at Pontefract (6f) last week, needing stiffer test. One to be interested in now back at 7f.

Form: 474U2

(9)

Bungley⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65

80/1

Found some improvement to get off the mark at Musselburgh (1m) in August, but wasn't in the same form at Thirsk last week.

Form: 652818

(14)

Come To Pass²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: J F Egan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63

80/1

Showed up well for a long way on qualifying run at Leicester (7f) 26 days ago, but his opening mark could have been kinder.

Form: 705

(4)

Bearcardi¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: J L Eyre| OR: 60

33/1

Ran up to his best back up in trip when third in 6-runner nursery at Carlisle (6.9f) 17 days ago, but needs to back that up in a stronger affair.

Form: 839683

Forecasts

Mystery Fox (15/8), Exminster (5/1), Aristobulus (5/1), Flaming Lord (6/1), Outgate (13/2), Sir Min (8/1), St Andrew's Castle (8/1), Box To Box (10/1), Rickenbacker (14/1), Sharp Riposte (16/1), International Boy (22/1), Bearcardi (33/1), Bungley (80/1), Come To Pass (80/1)

SIR MIN made a good start for his new stable when a keeping-on second at Pontefract last week, a performance which can be marked up having met some trouble, so he's one to be interested in now stepping back up in trip. Flaming Lord's opening mark looks a fair one so he's entitled to go well. Exminster retains potential now tackling nursery company for the first time and completes the shortlist.
