La Pulga²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 91| D

7/1

Sandown debut winner who doubled tally with helping hand from the Stewards at Carlisle (7.8f). Improved again when neck second to Desert Angel at Doncaster and 6 lb better off with that rival here.

Form: 14312

Dark Moon Rising³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 89

13/2

Left debut run well behind when seeing off 6 rivals over the extended 7f at Beverley. Just failed to defy a penalty over this trip at Haydock 10 weeks later. Not taken lightly on handicap bow.

Form: 712

Desert Angel^b¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 88| D

15/2

Improved form fitted with blinkers when landing 4-runner nursery at Doncaster and defied 4 lb rise when following up at Newmarket. No reason why he won't make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Form: 333011

Spacer²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: D Loughnane| OR: 84

11/1

Bred to be a sprinter but saw out the trip well when landing 6-runner novice at Haydock (7f, good to soft). Unsuited by sharp track at Chester since and this should play more to his strengths.

Form: 213

(9)

Hamaki^t⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 82

5/1

Better with each start, taking a 14-runner maiden at Pontefract (6f, heavy). Followed up at Sandown on nursery bow. shaping as if this slightly longer trip will suit. Testing conditions no issue.

Form: 8611

(14)

Animato²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81

9/1

Ulysses colt who has improved with each start to date, off the mark in a 7f novice event at Musselburgh 28 days ago. Will stay 1m and respected on nursery bow.

Form: 341

Oh Herberts Reign³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Hannon| OR: 80

16/1

Off the mark in 7f Thirsk novice and ran as well as could have been expected in valuable sales race at Doncaster 5 days later. On good mark on pick of form but was seen to maximum advantage that day.

Form: 352610

Caio Shark^v1⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 80

22/1

Made third start a winning one in 7f Haydock novice in May, benefiting from the step up in trip. However, well held on nursery bow here (7f) next time after 3 months off and headgear now applied.

Form: 3710

(7)

Truely Aclaimed²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 78

22/1

Progressive sort, off mark at second attempt in Beverley novice. Close second next 2 starts, including on nursery bow at Newcastle, but needs to shrug off a disappointing run at Chester.

Form: 01225

(2)

Hapap¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 76

10/1

Settled better than previously and duly improved when third in 9.9f Goodwood maiden. Could have more to offer on nursery bow with a well-run 1m likely to suit.

Form: 553

(1)

Grifter²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75

16/1

Runner-up twice over 6f in July but has failed to improve in nurseries the last twice, albeit running creditably.

Form: 52243

(12)

High Fibre⁸³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Jane Elliott| T: R M Beckett| OR: 75| BF

18/1

Fair form in novices the last twice and will stay this far but opening mark is no gift.

Form: 763

(5)

Wootton'sun²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74

15/2

Better with each run, shaping as if this stiffer test will suit when third of 13 in novice event at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 22 days ago, so remains with potential now handicapping.

Form: 643

(13)

Mister Camacho³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-1| J: L Morris| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 71

40/1

Has shown a bit in 7f/1m novice events. best effort when third of 5 at this course (7f, good) 34 days ago. Return to 1m will suit now handicapping.

Form: 453

Forecasts

Hamaki (5/1), Dark Moon Rising (13/2), La Pulga (7/1), Wootton'sun (15/2), Desert Angel (15/2), Animato (9/1), Hapap (10/1), Spacer (11/1), Oh Herberts Reign (16/1), Grifter (16/1), High Fibre (18/1), Caio Shark (22/1), Truely Aclaimed (22/1), St Andrew's Castle (33/1), Mister Camacho (40/1)

Wootton Bassett colt WOOTTON'SUN has improved with each run and has the potential to improve again for this stiffer test on nursery bow, so shades the vote in a wide-open event. La Pulga is 6 lb better off for a neck defeat to Desert Angel at Doncaster, and the latter has since followed up in good style at Newmarket. Hat-trick seeking Hamaki completes the shortlist.
