Ribhi²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 101| CD

1/1

Belied market weakness when making a winning start to his career over C&D last month. Didn't enjoy the best of runs in a listed race at Doncaster since but he's likely to progress further.

Form: 15

Tolstoy⁸⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 96| D

4/1

Kingman colt who got off to a winning start in 11-runner novice at Yarmouth in May. Down the field in the Coventry and fared no better in July Stakes at Newmarket since. Gelded since last seen.

Form: 107

Atheby¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 84

22/1

Cheap purchase from the Breeze-Ups but showed a bit when third in a Chelmsford maiden on debut. Not disgraced in couple of starts at Sandown since (including Group 3) but needs more to feature here.

Form: 353

(5)

Give A Little Back²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: M Harley| T: A King

125/1

Zelzal colt who shaped as if in need of the experience when eighth of 10 in minor event at Thirsk (7f, good) on debut 26 days ago. Should improve but likely to struggle in this company.

Form: 8

(4)

Witch Hunter¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon| BF

4/1

Siyouni colt who produced a promising first effort when second of 11 in maiden (7/4) at Newbury (6f, good) on debut 13 days ago. He's sure to improve and could have a say in proceedings here.

Form: 2

(3)

Amber Dew²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 82| CD

9/2

Had previously proved expensive to follow but showed improved form to get off the mark starting out in nurseries after a 12-week break at this C&D (good) 20 days ago. Should be in the mix once again.

Form: 42361

Forecasts

Ribhi (1/1), Witch Hunter (4/1), Tolstoy (4/1), Amber Dew (9/2), Atheby (22/1), Give A Little Back (125/1)

A few in with a shout but the vote goes to RIBHI. Marcus Tregoning's colt looked potentially smart as he made a winning debut over C&D last month, and having not enjoyed the rub of the green in a listed event at Doncaster since, he's taken to get back to winning ways with further progress likely. Sole-filly Amber Dew is feared most having scored over C&D earlier this month, ahead of Tolstoy.
