Goemon¹⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: J F Egan| T: K P De Foy| CD

2/1

Promising individual. Won 13-runner minor event at this C&D (AW, 33/1) when last seen in May. First run for yard after leaving Roger Varian and he should have more to offer.

Form: 01

(4)

Jack The Savage^h1⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: L Horsfall

100/1

Bumper winner. 7/2, third of 7 in bumper at Worcester (16f, good) 73 days ago. Hood enlisted for this Flat debut and he's probably best watched.

Form:

(2)

Royal Legend

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: F Watson

300/1

£1,500 3-y-o, New Approach gelding. Closely related to 1¼m/10.5f winner Everglades and half-brother to 3 winners, including 1¼m winner Vancouverite. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner.

Form:

(7)

Amerighi¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater

200/1

Twice-raced maiden. 22/1, fourth of 8 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 15 days ago. Up in trip and big step forward will be needed if he's to emerge on top.

Form: 74

(11)

Idee Fixee¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

13/8

Twice-raced maiden. 10/3, second of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 16 days ago. One of the more likely winners in this line-up.

Form: 22

(1)

Later Darling^h³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 72

7/2

Fairly useful gelding. 9/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Hood refitted and would be in with a shout if able to get back on track.

Form: 365380

(6)

Love Down Under¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

66/1

Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f, 4/1) on debut 15 days ago, very slowly away. Moving up in trip should help but he's probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 7

(8)

Sunninghill¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: S Woods

11/1

Twice-raced maiden. 7/2, second of 8 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 15 days ago. Up in trip and needs to raise his game.

Form: 82

(10)

Whirlwind¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: R Hannon

9/1

Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in minor event (6/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 16 days ago. Likely he will have to settle for a minor role.

Form: 35

(3)

Bounce Back⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: A Watson

150/1

Twice-raced maiden on Flat. 28/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 5 days ago. Sizeable step forward needed.

Form: 57

Forecasts

Idee Fixee (13/8), Goemon (2/1), Lady Loulou (5/2), Later Darling (7/2), Whirlwind (9/1), Sunninghill (11/1), Love Down Under (66/1), Jack The Savage (100/1), Bounce Back (150/1), Amerighi (200/1), Royal Legend (300/1)

GOEMON left his unpromising debut well behind when landing a C&D novice on his second and final appearance for Roger Varian in May, form which hasn't worked out at all badly (race has thrown up half-a-dozen subsequent winners). Provided all is well following a break, he should be capable of defying a penalty before going on to better things. Later Darling will be a threat if able to get back on track but, as things stand, Idee Fixee and Lady Loulou appear to be the main dangers.
