Hadrian's Wall^b1³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 69

18/1

Finished runner-up on debut in an AW novice at Wolverhampton (7f) in June. Failed to replicate that level in trio of turf starts, latterly in selling company at Newmarket (7f) 33 days ago but return to AW may help now handicapping with blinkers enlisted.

Rosenzoo²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: C Johnston| OR: 69

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 8 in nursery at Newcastle (7.1f, 15/2) 29 days ago, headed entering final 1f but sticking to his task. Step up in trip will suit here and likely he can do better still.

Form: 5443

Bulldog Drummond¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 68

5/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 15/2) 18 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.

C&D winner in August. 5/4, very good ½-length third of 7 to Primetime in nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 4 days ago. Booking of Murphy a plus. Can go well again.

Primetime⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 66

6/1

Career best when winning 7-runner nursery (9/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 4 days ago (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Rider's claim all but offsets the penalty and he's in the mix again.

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/3, very good second of 10 in nursery at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 49 days ago, just failing. Makes polytrack debut. Strong claims.

Forecasts

American Tale (13/8), Alfred (9/2), Bulldog Drummond (5/1), Primetime (6/1), Rosenzoo (8/1), Haya Taal (10/1), Hadrian's Wall (18/1)

AMERICAN TALE was close behind re-opposing Primetime when the pair met at Wolverhampton 4 days ago but returned to the scene of his sole success, he could be worth chancing to come out on top on this occasion. Alfred, upped in trip, and the aforementioned Primetime rate next best.
