Battle Charge²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: R M Beckett

11/2

Showed more than on debut when fifth of 11 in novice event at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 7/1) 23 days ago, not knocked about. Likely has more to offer.

Form: 65

(9)

Land Lover¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: William Pyle⁽⁷⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 78

5/1

Similar form all 3 starts, keeping on for third of 7 in maiden at York (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Just about sets the standard with this stiff track likely to help.

Form: 453

(7)

Salsa Dancer¹⁰

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

12/1

Half-brother to 3 winners but looks a work-in-progress so far, green on debut and never really a factor when fifth of 7 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, firm, 6/1) 10 days ago.

Form: 45

(8)

Soldier's Gold²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: H Palmer

5/2

Well backed with his debut under his belt and displayed improved form when second of 10 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, firm) 21 days ago. That puts him right in the mix.

Form: 42

(6)

Lady Wulfrun¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding

15/2

Low-key debut but more like it when fourth of 11 in novice event at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 16 days ago, not knocked about and looking in need of further.

Form: 74

(2)

Sue's Little Angel¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey

150/1

Went backwards from debut when thirteenth of 14 in novice event at York (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago.

Form: 60

Forecasts

Soldier's Gold (5/2), Ajwadi (7/2), Land Lover (5/1), Battle Charge (11/2), Lady Wulfrun (15/2), Bandello (9/1), Salsa Dancer (12/1), Anglesey Lad (25/1), Sue's Little Angel (150/1)

SOLDIER'S GOLD left his debut form well behind when runner-up at Newbury 3 weeks ago, sticking to his task in likeable fashion. He looks the way to go, though Land Lover is a definite threat on form, while Ajwadi is a likely-looking newcomer.
