Blue Prince²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85| D

10/3

Looked comfortably ahead of his opening mark when forging clear to score at York in July. Poorly drawn when only sixth there last time and capable of getting back on the up.

Dapperling²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 83

12/1

Off the mark in straightforward fashion at Lingfield. Excellent second of 20 in Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury next time but tame run in a similar event at York since.

That's For Sure²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 82| D

11/1

Confirmed debut promise when winning 10-runner novice at Carlisle in July. No impact in a couple of sales races since but this looks more realistic.

Form: 3100

Kingswood Flyer^t²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 80| D

9/2

Boasts a progressive profile and had a bit to spare when scoring in a nursery at Newbury last time. Should step up again, so makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 3421

Boardroom²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Russell| T: G R Oldroyd| OR: 79

16/1

Confirmed debut promise when winning 11-runner maiden at Thirsk in August and best excused a lesser effort in listed company at York since. Remains with potential.

Form: 210

Sir Bolton⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 79

22/1

Second past the post on his 5f Yarmouth debut in April but was carried left and correctly awarded the race. Down the field both subsequent starts and gelded prior to this nursery debut.

Red Zone Hero²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: M L W Bell| OR: 79| D

3/1

Six-figure breeze-up purchase who confirmed previous promise when landing a maiden at Ayr in July. Nursery debut at York is best excused, so he's not a forlorn hope.

Form: 5210

Succession⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C G Cox| OR: 79

7/2

Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Bath in May. Excellent second of 11 in nursery (22/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 8 days ago, every chance when jumping false patch of ground close home. Strong chance of going one better off the same mark.

Form: 4152

Novello Lad³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 73

66/1

Found only one too good starting out here in June. Not in anything like the same form since and handicapper hasn't been lenient with opening mark.

Forecasts

Red Zone Hero (3/1), Blue Prince (10/3), Succession (7/2), Kingswood Flyer (9/2), Count Palatine (8/1), That's For Sure (11/1), Dapperling (12/1), Boardroom (16/1), Sir Bolton (22/1), Novello Lad (66/1)

SUCCESSION is going the right way and would have gone very close to winning (finished clear second) had he not jumped a false patch of ground late at Wolverhampton 8 days ago, so he's worth a chance to gain compensation off the same mark. Kingswood Flyer is also going the right way and looks the main threat ahead of Blue Prince.
