Cold Case¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K R Burke| BF

10/11

160,000 gns son of Showcasing who made a promising start and found only an experienced sort too strong in 4-runner Carlisle novice (5f) 2 weeks ago. Entitled to come on for that run and he's a big player up at 6f.

Form: 2

33/1

Acclamation colt who makes appeal on paper but was ultimately held back by greenness (easy to back when seventh of 10 in a Ripon novice (6f) in May. Probably one for later on.

Northcliff²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

17/2

Dandy Man colt who stepped up on debut form when third at Hamilton (5f) and not disgraced when 9 lengths second 11 in a C&D novice since, behind a decidedly smart prospect. Should put experience to good use.

Form: 532

Forecasts

Cold Case (10/11), Installation (6/1), Winter Crown (6/1), Northcliff (17/2), Eagle Day (9/1), Bella Kopella (22/1), Craven (25/1), Common Acclaim (33/1), Frank Ross Is Out (33/1), Heart Of Acklam (50/1)

COLD CASE was unable to justify cramped odds at Carlisle 2 weeks ago, but that's not to detract from what was a promising start to his career, going down only to one with previous experience. He earns the vote to build on that and come out on top. Godolphin-representative Winter Crown may emerge as the chief threat, whilst Installation and Eagle Day are a couple of interesting newcomers.
