City Burglar¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 85

15/8

Thrice-raced maiden. 2/1, third of 12 in minor event at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Improvement needed now pitched into a handicap but that's entirely possible.

Form: 523

Making Dreams¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 83| D

3/1

Three wins from 8 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner nursery (8/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. More on her plate up 6 lb here but cannot be discounted.

Sailthisshipalone³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 83

11/2

Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 9/4, won 9-runner minor event at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Good chance there's better to come from this colt now handicapping. Yard also saddles Gamraan.

Gamraan¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 77

12/1

Fourth of 6 in nursery at Newcastle (8f, 6/1) 15 days ago. Now 0-6 but he was a solid second off 1 lb higher in a soft-ground Goodwood nursery 3 starts back, and a reproduction of that would put him firmly in the picture.

Mister Daydream⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 74| D

10/1

Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, career best when winning 6-runner nursery at Bath (8f, good) 7 days ago, always holding on. Nudged up just 2 lb but this is much tougher and he probably wouldn't want too much give underfoot.

Form: 8261

(7)

Keep Warm^v³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 72

8/1

Two wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Pontefract in July. 20/1, respectable tenth of 20 in nursery at York (7f, good to firm) 30 days ago, not ideally placed. Vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 653110

Elemental Eye²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: I Jardine| OR: 71| BF

17/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in maiden at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft, 15/8) 29 days ago. Booking of Doyle a plus for this handicap debut and he needs a second look.

Form: 734

Forecasts

City Burglar (15/8), Making Dreams (3/1), Sailthisshipalone (11/2), Keep Warm (8/1), Elemental Eye (17/2), Mister Daydream (10/1), Gamraan (12/1)

Richard Fahey has saddled the winner of this several times in the past and SAILTHISSHIPALONE could be another for the yard. He has improved with each of his three starts to date, off the mark in a 7f Thirsk novice last time, and this step up in trip now handicapping promises to help unlock further improvement. Stablemate Gamraan will be a big threat if reproducing the form of his Glorious Goodwood effort, while City Burglar and Making Dreams are also accorded respect.
