Princeville³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 86| BF| D

5/2

Winner at Yarmouth in July. Beaten at short odds under a penalty at Wolverhampton since but still performed with credit in second. Opening handicap mark looks workable.

Form: 212

California Gem²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: G Boughey| OR: 83| D

18/1

Maiden/novice winner on turf in midsummer but no significant impact in a couple of nurseries since. Being dropped another 2 lb can only help but others are still preferred.

Form: 41106

Primrose Ridge^t⁹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 83| DWS

9/1

Beverley novice winner in the spring. Off since finishing down the field in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) in June. Has had wind surgery. Handicap debut.

Form: 221620

New Hope Bullet³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 80| D

7/2

Arrives on a hat-trick after wins at Chelmsford and Sandown (second past post but awarded race) in recent months. Only nudged up another 2 lb and a bold bid seems assured.

Song Of Success¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: R Hughes| OR: 79

11/2

Built on a promising debut when making all over 6f at Windsor last month. Not up to Group 3 company at Salisbury since but retains potential at this lower level. Has a handy inside stall. Considered.

Form: 210

Estate⁸⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 79| BF

11/1

Fair maiden. Respectable second of 8 in novice at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) 80 days ago, running on. Makes AW/handicap debut after a break.

Form: 6282

(2)

Fox Degree³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 78| D

10/1

Winner at Ffos Las in July. Good second at Newmarket next time but ran poorly in blinkers at Leicester since. Blinkers off. AW debut.

Form: 334128

Thunder Ball²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁷⁾| T: P & O Cole| OR: 77

12/1

Fair form. Good head second of 6 in C&D nursery 20 days ago, just failing. Put up 3 lb for that and the draw could have been kinder.

Form: 3282

Diomed Spirit⁸⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S C Williams| OR: 75| BF| CD

20/1

C&D winner in June. 3/1, fifth of 9 in novice at Yarmouth (6f, good) 88 days ago. Makes handicap debut. More needed.

Form: 615

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Hayley Turner| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 71

Went close on Chelmsford nursery debut in August but well held at Windsor since.

Form: 343028

Forecasts

Princeville (5/2), New Hope Bullet (7/2), Song Of Success (11/2), Primrose Ridge (9/1), Fox Degree (10/1), Estate (11/1), Thunder Ball (12/1), Agostino (16/1), California Gem (18/1), Diomed Spirit (20/1)

PRINCEVILLE has achieved enough to think an opening mark in the mid-80s is manageable so he gets the nod for the Charlie Appleby team. New Hope Bullet brings some solid nursery form to the table and is feared most ahead of Song of Success, who should find this a bit easier than the Group 3 she contested last time.
