Alyanaabi⁶¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 101

4/1

Off the mark at the first time of asking in 5-runner novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) and stepped up on that when fourth in a hot listed race at Ascot in July. Likely to progress further so high on shortlist.

Form: 14

Boiling Point¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: R Varian| OR: 87| D

12/1

Took a step forward to open his account in clear-cut fashion in 10-runner novice at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 19 days ago, suited by way race developed. Difficult ask here, however.

Form: 231

Change For Good¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| D

50/1

Blue Point colt. Half-brother to 7f winner White Umbrella. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Won 8-runner novice at Epsom (7f, good to firm, 11/1) on debut 14 days ago. Should improve but has plenty to find.

Form: 1

Cross The Tracks⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: R Spencer

125/1

3,500 gns foal, Rajasinghe colt. Half-brother to numerous winners, including useful 5f winner Kyleakin Lass and winner up to 1m Local Flier. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner who stayed 7f. Knew his job when making a winning debut at Yarmouth 9 days ago but this is a big ask.

Form: 1

Eben Shaddad³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: J & T Gosden

10/3

Won 12-runner novice at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on debut 33 days ago. That probably wasn't a particularly strong race by Newmarket standards but he's clearly well-regarded (entered in the Dewhurst) and is completely unexposed.

Form: 1

Inishfallen²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: B J Meehan| OR: 102

25/1

Progressive son of Exceed And Excel who ran a cracker stepped up to 7f when close third of 20 in York nursery and took form to another level when just denied in Solario at Sandown, albeit having the run of the race. Not taken lightly.

Form: 61532

Legend Of Time²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

15/2

150,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Brother to 2-y-o 7.4f/1m winner Five Stars and half-brother to smart winner up to 1¾m Loving Dream. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner). 9/4, won novice at Haydock (8f, good to firm) on debut 21 days ago, finishing strongly. May well do better.

Form: 1

Military¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien

9/4

375,000 gns yearling, Siyouni colt. Dam, winner up to 9f (2-y-o 7f winner), half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m Garcia. Backed as if defeat was out of the question and duly looked a good prospect when making a winning debut at Naas with plenty in hand. Should make considerable progress.

Form: 1

Son Of Man⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

25/1

Dark Angel gelding. Half-brother to 1m-1½m winner Kingstown and 2-y-o 7f winner Gold As Glass. Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 10-runner novice at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) on debut 9 days ago, staying on well. This a big step up but sure to progress.

Form: 1

Victory Shout²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: K R Burke| OR: 84

16/1

Progressive form, wide-margin winner of a Carlisle novice 3 weeks ago. More needed again.

World Of Darcy³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: J Ryan| OR: 92

250/1

Made a perfect start at Pontefract and some good efforts in defeat upped in grade since, though disappointed at York latest. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving K. R. Burke.

Form: 120438

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: C Hills| OR: 93| D

8/1

Winner at Leicester on debut and steadily progressive since, resuming winning ways when defying penalty at Thirsk 10 days ago. That looked a good race for the track so respected.

Form: 1341

Forecasts

Military (9/4), Eben Shaddad (10/3), Alyanaabi (4/1), Legend Of Time (15/2), Zabriskie Point (8/1), Boiling Point (12/1), Victory Shout (16/1), Soldier's Gold (20/1), Inishfallen (25/1), Son Of Man (25/1), Who Said Go (33/1), Change For Good (50/1), Cross The Tracks (125/1), World Of Darcy (250/1)

This looks wide open but MILITARY looked a good prospect when making a winning debut at Naas 2 weeks ago and is open to considerable progress for a yard that has plenty of fire power in this division. Eben Shaddad is another well-regarded colt from a top stable so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Alyanaabi, who shaped well in a hot listed race at Ascot.
