9/2

Matched the pick of his efforts for Richard Hannon on handicap debut when runner-up at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago, no match for winner. Makes plenty of appeal upped in trip. Engaged 3.20 Yarmouth Thursday.

3/1

Opened his account at Chester in June and best effort since was runner-up back there a month later. Finished mid-field at York last month and this return to softer conditions should be in his having a first go at 7f.

Boyfriend¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 80

3/1

Yet to build on his promising neck second on debut at Windsor in 3 subsequent attempts but once again left the impression that there may be better to come when fourth at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) earlier this month. Makes handicap debut over 7f and that could do the trick.

Commander Crouch⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 74| D

9/2

Has been improving for racing lately and took another step forward to get off the mark on all-weather debut at Southwell (7.1f) 9 days ago, edging ahead close home. 5-lb claimer offsets most of a 6 lb penalty and there's every chance he will be in the mix again back on turf.

16/5

Improved again on nursery debut when third at Newcastle (7.1f) just over 3 weeks ago, nearest at the finish. Can continue his good work returned to turf.

Forecasts

Boyfriend (3/1), Innvincible Friend (3/1), Ebt's Guard (16/5), Pink Satin (4/1), Fusterlandia (9/2), Commander Crouch (9/2), Liv My Life (5/1), Jubilee Walk (5/1), Sonmarg (8/1)

Richard Hannon saddles a third of the field and his BOYFRIEND could be the one worth siding with having again left the impression that there may be better to come when fourth at Salisbury (1m) recently. Now heading into nurseries, this first try at 7f could well do the trick. Stablemate Liv My Life can give him most to think about, while last year's winning trainer Dominic Ffrench Davis saddles Fusterlandia and he's also fancied to be in the mix.
