Beauzon²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| D

11/2

Showed improved form to resume winning ways at Wolverhampton in October. Ran at least as well when a close third at Newcastle (6f) 26 days ago, running on, and should go well again.

Form: 324513

Poet⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Varian| OR: 75

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1, good ¾-length second of 10 to Beauzon in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 41 days ago. Gelded since last seen and could still have a bit more to offer.

Form: 4672

Olympic Eagle³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 74| BF

9/4

Well backed switched to a nursery and duly produced best effort to date when third in a C&D event 35 days ago. That looks reasonable form, and he may do better still.

Form: 3843

Sterling Knight⁸⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 72WS

15/2

Visored for 1st time, excuses when seventh of 8 in nursery (10/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 88 days ago, not ideally placed. Makes polytrack debut and better judged on previous form. Had wind op.

Form: 260237

Red Showgirl³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 71

18/1

Winner at Lingfield in July and has matched that form on her last two starts, including when fourth of 11 in a C&D nursery 35 days ago.

Janaat²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 70

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden who finished fifth of 6 on nursery bow at Newcastle (5f) 23 days ago. Switches to polytrack now, and needs to find a bit of improvement if he's to defy her current mark.

Form: 4225

(7)

Exclusive Times²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 69

8/1

Didn't need to improve to get off the mark in a 11-runner novice event at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 4/7) 23 days ago. Into handicaps now and should remain competitive.

Form: 5231

(5)

Kensington Agent⁹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Marco Ghiani| T: A W Carroll| OR: 69

25/1

Winner of Bath maiden in July. Failed by a long chalk to repeat that effort at Windsor, though was quickly back on track when fifth on 12 on nursery bow at Wolverhampton 98 days ago. Eased 1 lb.

Form: 5175

(4)

Meganseigthteen²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: E Stanford| OR: 66

20/1

Modest maiden who was below form when 2½ lengths fifth of 11 to Exclusive Times in a novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 23 days ago, though probably needed the run after 5 months off. Makes nursery bow.

Form: 0335

Bluebell Way⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: M R Channon| OR: 65| BF| D

18/1

Successful at Bath in October and ran creditably under a penalty when fourth of 12 in a C&D nursery 42 days ago. Should remain competitive.

Form: 882214

Lady Dollars¹¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: T Ward| OR: 59

150/1

Modest maiden who continues to disappoint, only tenth of 11 in a 6f nursery at Lingfield on latest start in August.

Form: 37680

Forecasts

Olympic Eagle (9/4), Poet (10/3), Beauzon (11/2), Sterling Knight (15/2), Exclusive Times (8/1), Janaat (11/1), Saliteh (12/1), Red Showgirl (18/1), Bluebell Way (18/1), Meganseigthteen (20/1), Kensington Agent (25/1), Lady Dollars (150/1)

Recent-winner BEAUZON was beaten only narrowly by a pair of handicap debutants in his follow bid at Newcastle 26 days ago, so he remains of firm interest despite another 3 lb rise. Poet has been gelded since his latest start, but could still have more to offer given his useful pedigree, while Olympic Eagle and Exclusive Times are two others who arrive in form and they complete the shortlist.
