Cold Case²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K R Burke| OR: 103

11/4

Improving colt who won 6f York maiden in June and ran well despite taking keen hold in the Gimcrack there 3 weeks ago. That should prove to be good form and he has strong claims.

Form: 2123

Once More For Luck¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: I Mohammed| OR: 84

40/1

125/1 winner at Ffos Las (6f) in July and good efforts since, but has a fair bit to find on these terms.

Form: 71723

True Statesman⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 91| BF| D

33/1

Off the mark in 6f Chelmsford maiden and followed up in good style in 7f Chester nursery. Worked up and too free when a disappointing favourite in Glorious Goodwood nursery 6 weeks ago and better than that.

Form: 43110

Alpha Capture^p1¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

8/1

Has proven green both starts but he was really motoring by the finish as he opened his account in Carlisle novice a fortnight ago. Stiffer test should suit with cheekpieces now fitted and he can progress further.

Form: 21

(10)

Knebworth⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 90

66/1

Has had a good year, winning 3 times over 5f/6f on AW. Fair run in Kempton Group 3 at the weekend but has to do it on turf now (well beaten at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood).

Form: 110017

(14)

Pjanoo²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: R Spencer| OR: 81

20/1

Beaten only by a subsequent Group 2 winner at Newbury (6.5f, good to soft) on debut and back on track when keeping on for sixth in valuable 7f York maiden 3 weeks ago. Should have more to offer.

Form: 236

(3)

Swift Asset¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Hannon| OR: 93

28/1

Readily off the mark in 5f Windsor maiden in June before catching the eye in the Newbury Super Sprint. Stiff tasks since and remains with potential back up in trip/in a sales race now.

Form: 51667

(11)

Magical Sunset²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

7/2

€340,000 yearling, Kodiac sister to useful 7f/1m winner Loaded and half-sister to smart/ungenuine 6f winner Hey Jonesy and useful 1¼m/10.6f winner Hell Bent. 14/1, successful start in 6f Windsor maiden (firm) on debut last month, staying on well from another useful prospect. More to come.

Form: 1

(9)

Eminency⁵⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox

7/1

Stepped up from debut despite still looking green when winning 6f Windsor novice 8 weeks ago, asserting close home. Useful prospect.

Form: 21

(8)

Galeron²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Dettori| T: C Hills| OR: 91

12/1

Confirmed debut promise to get off the mark in 4-runner maiden at Goodwood (6f) in June from the subsequent Molecomb winner. Held in the Vintage Stakes and Gimcrack subsequently but not one to give up on yet and this is a drop in class.

Form: 5166

(6)

Hectic²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 87

22/1

Proved very professional as he made a winning start in 6f Newbury novice in June. Effort flattened out in the Acomb and he remains with potential. 1 of 3 for yard with a strong hand in this.

Form: 16

(13)

Hiatus¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: C Allen| OR: 70

200/1

Modest maiden well held in 6f Newcastle nursery a fortnight ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 4438

(1)

Holguin⁸⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: W Buick| T: A M Balding| OR: 89

7/1

Pretty professional for a debutant when making a winning start at Newbury (extended 5f) in April and fair run behind Persian Force there next time. Well held in the Coventry subsequently and been given a break. Remains with potential.

Form: 120

(5)

Legend Of Xanadu²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: David Egan| T: M R Channon| OR: 94

12/1

Kept busy and has had a good campaign, winning 6f novices at Redcar and Epsom and good third to Chateau in listed race at Newbury. Excuses at York 3 weeks ago and a definite player on his best form.

Form: 110370

(12)

Waiting All Night^p1²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Jason Hart| T: R Spencer| OR: 96

14/1

Made a winning debut at Wolverhampton in May and several good efforts in the face of some stiff tasks since. Headgear reached for now given a whirl in a sales race and not without a chance.

Form: 155520

Forecasts

Cold Case (11/4), Magical Sunset (7/2), Holguin (7/1), Eminency (7/1), Alpha Capture (8/1), Galeron (12/1), Legend Of Xanadu (12/1), Waiting All Night (14/1), Pjanoo (20/1), Hectic (22/1), Swift Asset (28/1), True Statesman (33/1), Once More For Luck (40/1), Knebworth (66/1), Hiatus (200/1)

Richard Hannon holds a strong hand, with MAGICAL SUNSET, the only filly in the field, taken to remain unbeaten. She found plenty to see off a good prospect on debut at Windsor and could have stacks more to offer. Stablemate Swift Asset hasn't been seen to best effect since catching the eye in the Super Sprint at Newbury and has a bigger performance in him. Cold Case has strong claims on his Gimcrack third, while Legend of Xanadu can be competitive if at his best.
