Debora's Dream²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 78

3/1

Thrice-raced colt. Fairly useful form when going close at Salisbury (6f) in September. Bit below that level when fifth on Kempton's AW since but should still have a big say here. First outing at 7f.

Form: 525

(2)

Flashy Apache

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R Hannon

18/1

€60,000 Toronado colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 7f/7.5f winner Amy Eria and French 7f-11f winner Andalouse Eria. Dam useful French 1½m winner. The betting should help guide to expectations with this newcomer.

Khamsin^b1⁹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| BF

10/1

Twice-raced colt. Promise when fourth on 6f Yarmouth debut in May and lot better than the result (badly hampered and eased) when tenth of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 7 weeks later. Blinkers added back from 3 months off. Retains potential.

Form: 40

Run Boy Run³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: R Spencer| OR: 84

5/6

Thrice-raced colt. Never involved in a valuable sales race at Doncaster last time but sets the standard on his pair of runner-up efforts at Newmarket and over C&D prior to that.

Form: 220

(3)

Spun To Gold³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Joshua Bryan| T: A M Balding

9/2

Twice-raced colt. Fair form when third on 7f Kempton debut in August and possibly found the run coming too soon when fading tamely at Ascot 17 days later.

Form: 37

Forecasts

Run Boy Run (5/6), Debora's Dream (3/1), Spun To Gold (9/2), Khamsin (10/1), Flashy Apache (18/1)

RUN BOY RUN can be forgiven his latest run in a Doncaster sales race and his pair of runner-up efforts prior to that (including over C&D) suggest he's good enough to win a race like this. Debora's Dream may give him most to think about.
