Lady Beano¹²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: A Keatley| OR: 77| D

16/1

80/1, 9¼ lengths seventeenth of 21 to Dramatised in Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) when last seen in June. Won well on debut at Catterick a month earlier and merits respect with Tom Marquand booked for this nursery bow.

Thunder Star²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 75| CD

6/1

C&D winner in June. 16/5, good fourth of 9 in nursery at Southwell (6.1f) 23 days ago. Still, improvement will be needed if she's to emerge on top.

Form: 1444

Lumacho⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: P Cosgrave| T: G Boughey| OR: 68| BF| D

5/1

Three wins from 7 runs this year. 7/4, career best when winning 10-runner nursery at Southwell (5f) 5 days ago, keeping on well. More on her plate under a penalty here but couldn't rule out all the same.

Form: 491121

Golden Bullet²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 73

9/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, fourth of 13 in maiden at this course (6f, good) 21 days ago. Mark for this nursery debut looks fair and drop to the minimum trip shouldn't be an issue. Big player.

Form: 784

Friday Already¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C G Cox| OR: 72

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in nursery at Ffos Las (6f, soft, 11/4) 18 days ago and needs to raise his game.

Form: 2944

Premier Option²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 71

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, last of 10 in nursery at Ayr (6f, good) 28 days ago, folding. Appeared to be going the right way prior to that and well worth another chance back at 5f.

Form: 8220

Espirito^h⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M D I Usher| OR: 68

14/1

125/1, thirteenth of 18 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 48 days ago, not ideally placed. Now 4 lb lower than when runner-up in a Sandown nursery in July but he's starting to look a shade exposed.

Form: 762450

Rajwaan²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: D Tudhope| T: A M Balding| OR: 65

5/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 22/1, seventh of 14 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good) 28 days ago. In good hands and improvement could be on the way now dropped to 5f for this nursery debut.

Form: 977

Destiny's Spirit¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 63| D

7/1

7/2, career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) 19 days ago by head from Lumacho, just holding on. 5 lb rise fair enough and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 554121

(2)

Secret Note¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: William Carson| T: R Brisland| OR: 62

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Third of 5 in nursery at Ffos Las (6f, soft, 9/1) 18 days ago, nearest finish. Dropping back to the minimum trip here may not be ideal.

Form: 0863

(3)

Kanawha¹¹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 55| D

20/1

5/1, career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 11 days ago, readily. That wasn't a particularly strong race but she will be a threat under a penalty if able to build on that back on turf.

Form: 07951

Arewenearlyhome¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 60

28/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, eighth of 13 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good) 16 days ago. Sizeable step forward needed now pitched into a nursery.

Form: 568

Forecasts

Golden Bullet (9/2), Rajwaan (5/1), Lumacho (5/1), Thunder Star (6/1), Destiny's Spirit (7/1), Secret Note (12/1), Friday Already (12/1), Espirito (14/1), Lady Beano (16/1), Kanawha (20/1), Premier Option (22/1), Arewenearlyhome (28/1)

This looks very competitive indeed. GOLDEN BULLET and Rajwaan are both appealing now pitched into a nursery and marginal preference is for the former, who took a step forward when fourth over 6f here 3 weeks ago. Lady Beano has been absent since struggling in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot but she's in calmer waters now and needs considering. Last-time-out winners Destiny's Spirit, Kanawha and Lumacho all merit respect, too.
