Have Secret¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 81

11/4

Confirmed previous promise when off the mark at Haydock (7f) in August and fared best of those held up when third of 11 in nursery (5/1) at Ayr (1m) 18 days ago, finishing strongly. Of interest now stamina is drawn out further.

Form: 634213

Shahbaz²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Spencer| T: C Fellowes| OR: 81

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 9 in nursery at Doncaster (1m) 28 days ago, keeping on without getting seriously competitive. Feasible to think he can do better still in nurseries now upped further in trip.

Opera Ghost²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: A Kirby| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 80

11/4

Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 7 in minor event at Sandown (1m) 21 days ago, staying on final 100 yds without threatening the winner. This 1¼m trip should no fears on that evidence now attentions are switched to nurseries.

7/1

Blinkered for 1st time, good second of 5 in nursery (15/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 22 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Winner has boosted that form since if headgear has desired effect once more.

Venetian³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 78

9/2

Off the mark in maiden at Hamilton (8.3f) in August. 3/1, best effort yet when third of 7 on nursery debut at Kempton (1m) 32 days ago, not quicken inside final 1f. Longer trip may unlock a little more progress.

16/1

Opened account in a Ripon novice (1m) in August. 25/1, seventh of 11 on nursery debut at Ayr (1m) 18 days ago, ridden 3f out and never on terms. Present mark demands a little more now upped in trip.

Have Secret (11/4), Opera Ghost (11/4), Shahbaz (4/1), Venetian (9/2), Manifested (7/1), Rievaulx Raver (16/1), Racing Demon (40/1)

Having got off the mark at Haydock in August, HAVE SECRET again shaped well when finishing off strongly for third at Ayr (1m) 18 days ago (best of those held up). This step up in trip rates a plus on that evidence and he gets the nod. Shahbaz and Opera Ghost are just a couple of others to consider.
