(3)

Deodar³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: R L Moore| T: R M Beckett| D

6/4

Bated Breath gelding who overcame signs of inexperience to make a winning start with a bit up his sleeve 11-runner maiden at Newbury (6f, good) 36 days ago. Should improve and could have a say.

Form: 1

(2)

Flaming Rib²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 108| D

13/8

Smart sort who brought up the hat-trick in dominant fashion when winning 7-runner nursery at Chester (6.1f, good) 4 weeks ago, seen to optimum advantage from the front. Very much the one to beat.

Form: 203111

(7)

Gold Medal²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: David Egan| T: R Hughes| D

17/2

Olympic Glory gelding who made a successful debut in good style when winning 12-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 25 days ago, suited by strong pace. Seems sure to do better.

Form: 1

(5)

Kit Gabriel^p¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 83| D

22/1

Opened his account at the fourth tIme of asking in nursery at Pontefract (6f, good) last month and ran well switched to all-weather 12 days ago. Up in class here so another step forward needed.

Form: 65312

Mohi¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 88| D

11/1

Improved to get off the mark on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (6.1f) last month and progressed further to defy 5 lb rise over that C&D (by neck from Kit Gabriel) 12 days ago. In the mix.

Form: 65211

(6)

Mot And The Messer^p1²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 89| D

18/1

Controlled things from the front when doubling career tally in 3-runner conditions' event at Chester (6f) in August. Not at his best the last couple of starts so must bounce back. Cheekpieces tried.

Form: 517105

(4)

Parisiac¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Gianluca Sanna| T: B Smart| D

25/1

Kodiac colt who was unfancied in the market but made a winning start at Nottingham (6.1f, soft) 17 days ago. Needs a significant step forward to get involved here, though.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Deodar (6/4), Flaming Rib (13/8), Gold Medal (17/2), Mohi (11/1), Mot And The Messer (18/1), Kit Gabriel (22/1), Parisiac (25/1)

This looks to revolve around FLAMING RIB, who continues to thrive and brought up the hat-trick in dominant fashion when making all at Chester 4 weeks ago. Pierre-Louis Jamin retains the partnership and he rates as very much the one to beat. The main danger could be Deodar, who overcame signs of inexperience to make a successful debut at Newbury last month, ahead of the hat-trick seeking Mohi.
