9/4

33/1, 15 lengths twenty-second of 24 to Little Big Bear in listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Sights now sigificantly lowered, but mark for this nursery debut is certainly no gift.

Explicit¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 77| BF| CD

5/2

C&D winner. Latest win at York in June. 2/1, last of 7 in nursery at York (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago, folding. Form prior to that stacks up well and he will have every chance if able to bounce back.

Jungle Time⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 75| BF| CD

5/4

C&D winner in April. 6/4, second of 4 in nursery at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Looks ready for a step up to 6f, but she has to be respected in this company all the same.

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm, 7/2) 20 days ago. Needs to raise his game considerably now pitched into a nursery.

Forecasts

Jungle Time (5/4), Star Of Lady M (9/4), Explicit (5/2), Cuban Rock (28/1)

Though he proved to be a disappointment on his recemt nursery debut at York, EXPLICIT is evidently capable of much better than he showed that day and is given another chance to prove that he's on a good mark, which certainly appears to be the case judged on his solid effort at Kempton last month. Conversely, Star of Lady M has been handed what looks a pretty stern mark and Jungle Time is likely to emerge as the main danger, for all that she looks ready for a step up in trip.
