Courageous Knight^p³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 93| D

5/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, upped his game when winning 7-runner maiden at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Gelded since and, while further improvement is required, he's well respected.

Form: 4221

One Nation^p²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 93| D

11/4

Progressive sort who doubled his tally with a hard-fought success at Newmarket almost a month ago. A well-run race should play to his strengths, so he makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 3211

Scholarship⁶⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 88

15/2

Profitable colt. Looked a good prospect when ready winner of a Newbury maiden in May then found the Coventry a bit too hot at an early stage of his career. May do better after a break.

Form: 10

Kyeema¹⁶

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

8/1

Confirmed previous encouragement when comfortably off the mark in a 10-runner maiden at Catterick 16 days ago. In good hands and open to further improvement, so definite player.

Form: 341

Benacre²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: R Kingscote| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 82| BF| D

10/1

Made a winning start at Epsom in July and was far from disgraced when runner-up under a penalty at Beverley later in the month. Should go well under another positive ride.

Form: 12

Indian Dream¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 82| BF| D

11/2

Off the mark at Epsom in July and backed it up with another improved showing when a narrow second at Haydock 11 days ago. Solid claims again.

Form: 2512

(3)

Manifested¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: R Hannon| OR: 81

8/1

Fairly useful form on each of his 3 runs to date, strong at the finish when third in a maiden at Ffos Las on latest. Can make his presence felt if the emphasis is on stamina.

Form: 743

(16)

Rock Of England¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: E Bethell| OR: 80

28/1

Made a successful start at Thirsk but came up way short in a hotter contest at Chester next time. Too soon to write off now switched to nurseries.

Form: 15

Sunny Orange^b1⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 80| BF

28/1

Made a winning debut in a Leicester maiden in April and matched that form under a penalty when third at Salisbury. Seemed amiss at Haydock (when strong in the betting), but too soon to write off now blinkered after a short break.

Form: 138

(15)

Craven^p1²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78| BF

33/1

Promising second of 10 in maiden here (6f, good to firm, 25/1) on debut but both subsequent efforts have been slightly underwhelming, over C&D last time. Cheekpieces are tried for nursery debut.

Form: 227

(11)

Mystical Applause⁵⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Hayley Turner| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 78| BF

28/1

Opened his account at the second attempt at Salisbury in June but couldn't manage to defy the penalty at Chester next time. His form is pretty solid and he's bred to do better.

Form: 412

(5)

Common Acclaim⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76

18/1

Unexposed colt who stuck at it nicely when runner-up in a novice at Ayr last time. Given a break ahead of this nursery bow, and his stable does well at the track.

Form: 752

(12)

Run Cmc²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 72| BF

80/1

Left previous form behind when scoring at Musselburgh in June but yet to build on it and mark seems to be a stiff one based on what he's achieved.

Form: 98104

(13)

Spirit In My Soul¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 71

100/1

Best effort to date came at Hamilton on penultimate outing and this longer trip should suit. Her opening mark doesn't look all that lenient, though.

Form: 530

Forecasts

One Nation (11/4), Courageous Knight (5/1), Indian Dream (11/2), X J Rascal (7/1), Scholarship (15/2), Kyeema (8/1), Manifested (8/1), Benacre (10/1), Land Of Summer (14/1), Common Acclaim (18/1), Mystical Applause (28/1), Rock Of England (28/1), Sunny Orange (28/1), Craven (33/1), Shine's Ambition (33/1), Run Cmc (80/1), Spirit In My Soul (100/1)

BENACRE has made a positive start to his career and may simply have bumped into one at Beverley last time, so he gets the marginal vote despite a wide draw. One Nation and X J Rascal both have more to offer and should be in the mix if the pace is true.
