Off time: 14:02 | Winning time: 1m 46.42s

(9)

Arkendale²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: E Walker

16/1

Pivotal colt. Shaped well when second of 10 in maiden at Haydock (1m, good) on debut 23 days ago, having to weave way through. Looks sure to progress but this requires good bit more at this stage.

Form: 2

Captain Winters⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: N Callan| T: K A Ryan| OR: 94

15/2

Confirmed previous promise when off the mark at third attempt in a Thirsk novice (7f) in August. Showed improved home (came home well) when third in Haydock listed race (1m) 44 days ago and claims of hitting the frame again.

Form: 4213

Chillhi¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 89| D

16/1

Much improved when doubling career tally on nursery bow at Newcastle (1m) in September. Rallied well to finish fifth of 12 in minor event at York (7f, good) 10 days ago but this demands a little bit more.

Form: 61815

Local Dynasty³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 94| D

1/1

Dubawi colt who scored on debut at Newmarket and, having finished fifth behind Chaldean the Acomb at York next time, he quickly got back on the up when landing 1m Sandown novice 33 days ago, staying on strongly. Leadimg claims back up in grade.

Form: 151

Think First¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Tate| OR: 93| D

66/1

Kessaar colt who arrives having made it 2 wins from 3 starts when landing 4-runner Chelmsford novice (10f) 18 days ago. Open to further progress moving forward for all this is more demanding.

Form: 511

(5)

Sirona²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 102

4/1

Made a very bright start to her career, making it 2 wins from 3 starts when landing 7-runner listed race at Cologne (7.4f, good to soft, 14/10) 22 days ago by 4 lengths from Tamarinde, well on top finish. Claims with more to come.

Form: 121

Caernarfon³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: M R Channon| OR: 77

25/1

Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 13-runner nursery (8/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good) 31 days ago. Has steadily gone the right way to date but this demands a jolt of improvement if she's to figure up in class.

Luckin Brew⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: R M Beckett| OR: 81| D

6/1

Lope De Vega filly who confirmed previous promise and proved determined when off the mark in 11-runner Kempton novice (1m) in September. Unlikely she's reached her limit.

Form: 251

(7)

Shandy Star¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 85| C

33/1

Fairly useful filly. Gained third victory of the year when landing 9-runner nursery (6/1) at this course (6f, good) 14 days ago, finding extra. Significantly up in trip now and she may just be vulnerable to one or two in this field.

Form: 510381

Forecasts

Local Dynasty (1/1), Sirona (4/1), Luckin Brew (6/1), Captain Winters (15/2), Arkendale (16/1), Chillhi (16/1), Caernarfon (25/1), Shandy Star (33/1), Think First (66/1)

LOCAL DYNASTY impressed as he made it 2 wins from 3 starts at Sandown 33 days ago, the feature his strength at the finish on that occasion, and he looks to hold sound claims once more with potential for better still firmly intact. Sirona arrives on the back of success in a German listed event and is next best, ahead of Captain Winters.
