Storm Arcadio²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Josephine Gordon| T: L Horsfall

Modest maiden hurdler who has finished well held on both outings on Flat recently, including over C&D last time.

Form: 95

Lion's Dream⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: P Cosgrave| T: R Hughes

4/1

22/1, made a winning start in the manner of a useful prospect at Chelmsford City (10f) a couple of months ago, leading under pressure over 1f out and staying on well. Looks to have plenty of scope and he should improve.

Form: 1

The Last Tango¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J J Bridger

300/1

Eastern Anthem mare who showed nothing when last of 12 in minor event at Kempton (8f) on debut 15 days ago. Significantly upped in trip but can't be recommended.

Form: 0

Naval College⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 86

5/6

Showed improved form upped in trip when second of 12 in maiden at Yarmouth (11.5f, good, 9/2), keeping on final 1f. Will take all the beating if returning in the same form after a 3-month absence.

Form: 422

(7)

Star Legend²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

4/1

450,000 gns yearling, Galileo colt who offered something to work on first time up without ever really threatening when seventh of 10 in minor event at Nottingham (10.2f, good) earlier this month. Likely to improve.

Form: 7

(6)

Treble Joy²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 85

13/2

7/1, made more impact than previously when second of 11 in maiden at this C&D (AW) 25 days ago. Should be bang there once again.

Form: 9-22

(9)

Wannabe Brave¹¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe

16/1

Made no impression when ninth of 11 in minor event (80/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, good) on debut in May. Looks one very much for the longer term so easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Naval College (5/6), Star Legend (4/1), Lion's Dream (4/1), Golden Glance (6/1), Treble Joy (13/2), Wannabe Brave (16/1), Storm Arcadio (150/1), Zulu Hours (150/1), The Last Tango (300/1)

NAVAL COLLEGE showed improved form upped in trip when runner-up at Yarmouth back in May and a reproduction of that effort should be enough for Sir Michael Stoute's charge to open his account. Lion's Dream made a winning start in the manner of a useful prospect at Chelmsford early last month so he can give the selection most to do, ahead of Star Legend, who is sure to improve from his debut effort at Nottingham earlier this month.
