Welleef¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: R Kingscote| T: Owen Burrows| D

1/2

Lope De Vega colt who looked a good prospect when landing 15-runner minor event (11/8) at Leicester (7f, soft) on his debut 15 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Crown Dreams. Sure to improve and big player despite conceding weight all round.

Silver Atom²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: A Watson

150/1

Modest maiden hurdler who had breathing operation/cheekpieces on before coming in eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago on his final run for Ben Pauling. Plenty more is needed starting out in this sphere now.

Crown Dreams¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: R M H Cowell

11/2

Oasis Dream gelding who has shown fair form this summer when second over 7f in maiden at Haydock and minor event at Leicester (behind Welleef). May do better so he can't be discounted.

Form: 22

Solar Portrait

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: D & C Kubler

40/1

25,000 gns yearling, Zoffany gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1½m/12.2f winner Au Revoir out of useful 1m winner First. Market can guide for this newcomer.

Dreamrocker²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E Walker

7/1

50/1, encouraging debut sixth of 13 in maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) 23 days ago. This Fastnet Rock filly can build on it so needs shortlisting.

Form: 6

Full Regalia⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: C Hills

15/2

Failed to build on debut promise when fourth of 10 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good) 48 days ago on final run for John & Thady Gosden. Should still progress for new yard. Engaged 7.00 Kempton Wednesday.

Form: 44

Welleef (1/2), Crown Dreams (11/2), Dreamrocker (7/1), Full Regalia (15/2), Solar Portrait (40/1), Silver Atom (150/1)

WELLEEF got off the mark in style at Leicester at the start of the month and can make light of a penalty to make it 2-2. Crown Dreams has filled the runner-up spot on both his outings, including behind the selection last time, and could have to settle for the same position once more, with Full Regalia also in the mix now starting out for Charlie Hills.
