Amichi³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Ray Dawson| T: E Walker| OR: 88| D

5/2

Very green on debut but left that run well behind when winning Kempton novice in good style in August. Followed up to land a big pot on the July course (6f, good to soft) 5 weeks ago and with better still to come, he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 011

Prairie Falcon¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: M Dods| OR: 81| D

13/2

Found some improvement to make winning nursery debut at Goodwood (7f) in July and resumed winning ways at Ayr (6f, good, 5/2) just over a fortnight ago, returning to 6f not hindering him. Open to further improvement, especially if cutting out the slow starts.

Form: 351351

Safari Dream³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: N Callan| T: B R Millman| OR: 84

10/1

Nursery debut winner at Sandown who was first past the post but subsequently disqualified in similar event there next time. Made amends when scoring at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) last month and a bold showing is anticipated.

Form: 2301D1

Self Praise^v1⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: J A Heffernan| T: H Palmer| OR: 80| BF| D

12/1

Off the mark at Chester in July and not disgraced on all 3 starts since, third of 10 in nursery at Haydock (7f, good, 10/3) 7 days ago. Visor tried today to try and eke out that bit extra.

Form: 221763

Agostino^t¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 71

150/1

Best efforts have come on the all-weather so it's easy to look elsewhere in such a competitive contest like this.

Form: 430282

(16)

Flying Spirit¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Gina Mangan| T: H Main

150/1

Harry Angel colt who ran as well as could have been expected when mid-field at Southwell (6.1f) on debut 10 days ago. Should progress but unlikely he will be featuring today.

Form: 7

(18)

Skysail¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: D C Costello| T: M P Tregoning| D

13/2

Encouraging start when runner-up on debut and took a small step forward when going one better in a Newbury maiden (6f, good, 9/2) just over a fortnight ago. Should continue to progress and looks the type to make a better 3-y-o.

Form: 21

(27)

Just Janet¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: R Kingscote| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| D

80/1

Opened account at Wetherby in June and having not cut much ice in 6f nurseries, resumed winning ways on her all-weather debut at Southwell (6.1f) 10 days ago. Will improve further in time but other make more appeal on this occasion.

Form: 341661

(25)

Cuban Grey^t¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: R Havlin| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 72

200/1

Little achieved in a pair of novices but made more impact than previously when fourth in a Chelmsford maiden (5f) 16 days ago. Unlikely to be troubling the judge today, though.

Form: 594

(19)

Indiana Be¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Spencer| T: E Bethell| OR: 76| BF

50/1

Improved pitched into a nursery when runner-up at Redcar (7f, good) 18 days ago, in front everywhere bar the line. Each-way claims at best in this.

Form: 2432

(11)

King Of Ithaca²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: M Botti| OR: 72

66/1

Learning by the run and showed improved form to get off the mark in a Chelmsford maiden (7f) 23 days ago, staying on to lead well inside final 1f. Another step forward required.

Form: 551

(7)

Senor Pockets¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Darragh Keenan| T: H Spiller| OR: 66

125/1

Made a successful nursery debut in 4-runner contest at Chelmsford in August and found only another last-time-out winner too good back there (5f, 3/1) 16 days ago. Likely outsider today however.

Form: 74412

(22)

Taritino¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 76| BF

66/1

Won 7f Redcar novice on second start and having disappointed in a similar event over 6f back there since, wasted no time getting back on track when second on nursery debut at Yarmouth (6f) last week.

Form: 6182

(23)

California Gem¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Gary Halpin| T: G Boughey| OR: 82

80/1

Maiden/novice winner on turf in midsummer who fared best of those from off the pace when sixth on all-weather debut at Lingfield (5f) 11 days ago. This step back up in trip looks in her favour and she's not without hope.

Form: 411066

(26)

Gumais¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: George Scott| OR: 76| D

40/1

Improved to get off the mark after several near misses at Kempton (6f, 9/4) last month and matched that form when runner-up at Southwell (6.1f) since, just no match late on for a progressive filly. Could well run into a place today.

Form: 332212

(10)

Nacho Daay^p1⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: William Carson| T: R Brisland

250/1

Adaay colt who showed more than on debut when fourth in Ffos Las maiden (7.4f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces applied but this is a huge ask.

Form: 74

(5)

The Thames Boatman¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: George Rooke| T: R Hughes

66/1

Havana Grey colt who had presumably had an issue to have been off so long following a promising debut but took a step forward when third at Kempton (6f) 10 days ago. Should do better somewhere down the line.

Form: 43

(2)

Uffington²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 68| BF

50/1

Just fair form shown to date, runner-up sporting first-time cheekpieces at Chepstow last month. Looks out of his depth today.

Form: 662242

(3)

Girl Magic³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: David Egan| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 79

20/1

Showed benefit of initial experience when landing Ayr maiden (5f, soft) in May and similar form 3 months on when runner-up at Ripon (5f, good to firm, 6/4) just under 5 weeks ago. Live each-way player.

Form: 712

(13)

Poweredbylove¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Mr Taylor Fisher| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 67

150/1

Showed more zip than on debut when fourth at Goodwood (6f, good) on second start but ran too badly to be true at Yarmouth 16 days ago. Tough to support on the back of that effort.

Form: 740

(29)

Georgiava²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: J Quinn| T: K R Burke| OR: 77| BF| D

22/1

Improved for the step up in trip when scoring in Brighton maiden (6f, good) in August and showed improved form to follow up under her penalty at Carlisle next time, staying on to lead post. More needed if she's to complete the hat-trick.

Form: 522611

(17)

Oneforsue⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Theodore Ladd| T: E J Alston| OR: 72

14/1

Improved in each of her first 3 runs, faring easily the best of the pair that raced far side when fifth of 18 in novice event at Newmarket in August. Shaped as if still in good form when mid-field at Haydock 8 days ago (did plenty in the lead) but will need more to take this.

Form: 7455

(4)

Union Court¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E Walker| OR: 91

7/1

Won 5f novices on her first 2 starts and has shown better form in defeat since, notably when second in 5f Newbury listed race in August. Not at her best when only sixth in a couple of listed events last month but must have a major shout in this.

Form: 952266

(14)

Woolhampton³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: T E Whelan| T: B R Millman| OR: 90

12/1

Already shown fairly useful form when placed in Super Sprint and listed St Hugh's Stakes. Only mid-field in sales race on July course last time but has a solid each-way chance if bouncing back.

Form: 925237

(28)

Land Of Summer²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon| OR: 81

18/1

Cheap purchase who made a winning start at Brighton and has run with credit on 3 of her 4 subsequent outings. Doesn't seem to be progressing, though.

Form: 120043

(20)

Olena

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Raul Da Silva| T: Alice Haynes

150/1

Foaled March 17. 4,000 gns yearling, Bungle Inthejungle filly. Half-sister to winner abroad by Fountain of Youth. Dam lightly-raced sister to useful 2-y-o 7f/7.5f winner Sorella Bella.

Red Treasure¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Georgia Dobie| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 75| BF| D

16/1

Confirmed previous promise to open her account at Southwell (6.1f) in August and unlucky not to double her tally at Kempton last month, shaping like the best horse at the weights considering where she came from. Each-way claims.

Form: 2212

Amichi (5/2), Prairie Falcon (13/2), Skysail (13/2), Union Court (7/1), Safari Dream (10/1), Self Praise (12/1), Woolhampton (12/1), Oneforsue (14/1), Red Treasure (16/1), Land Of Summer (18/1), Girl Magic (20/1), Georgiava (22/1), Clipsham La Habana (25/1), Gumais (40/1), Uffington (50/1), Indiana Be (50/1), The Thames Boatman (66/1), Taritino (66/1), King Of Ithaca (66/1), California Gem (80/1), Just Janet (80/1), Arlecchino's Star (100/1), Senor Pockets (125/1), Flying Spirit (150/1), Poweredbylove (150/1), Olena (150/1), Agostino (150/1), Cuban Grey (200/1), Nacho Daay (250/1)

In a race that doesn't look as competitive as the numbers suggest, AMICHI gets the verdict to bring up the hat-trick. He has plenty of size about him and having landed a similar event on the July course 5 weeks ago, Ed Walker's charge looks well worth siding with. Sky Sail, Union Court and Safari Dream head up the opposition in that order.
