Blue Lemons⁴³

11/2

Struck on soft-ground Leicester debut in September and improved on that when close third in Newbury novice (8f, heavy) 10 days later. That form has been boosted and he must enter calculations here.

Change For Good³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: D M Simcock| OR: 94| D

18/1

Made a winning start at Epsom (7f, good to firm) in September and stepped up on that when 5 lengths eighth in Group 3 at this course a fortnight later. May have more to offer but faces much more testing ground than previously.

Form: 18

Finbar Furey³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 89| D

4/1

Has improved with each start, posting a near useful performance when scoring comfortably in novice company at Salisbury (7f, heavy) 30 days ago. Sold out of Clive Cox's yard for 180,000 gns since and is likely capable of better yet.

Form: 231

Orne²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 92| D

10/1

Made a winning debut on AW at Kempton (7f) in September and possibly had his stamina stretched when ffourth of 7 to Ancient Wisdom in Group 3 (8f) at this course since. Remains open to progress back at 7f.

Form: 14

Son Of Man³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 94

9/1

Overcame greenness to make a winning debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) in September. Still in need of experience when seventh in Group 3 here (7f) latest and remains with potential.

Form: 17

Telemark¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| D

2/1

Built on promising Leiecester debut when winning quite comfortably at Yarmouth (7f, soft) last month. Asked a bigger question now but he should have more to offer yet.

Form: 31

Ten Bob Tony³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 84| D

11/2

Well suited by a change of tactics and more testing ground when making all in novice company at Salisbury (7f, heavy) 30 days ago. More will be needed here but he'll be at home under these conditions.

Form: 451

Witness Stand²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: Tom Clover| OR: 97| D

8/1

Made winning debut at Chester (7f) in June and better form in defeat since, notably when close second in C&D nursery (good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Sets the standard on that form.

Forecasts

Telemark (2/1), Finbar Furey (4/1), Ten Bob Tony (11/2), Blue Lemons (11/2), Witness Stand (8/1), Son Of Man (9/1), Orne (10/1), Change For Good (18/1), North View (20/1)

Preference is for FINBAR FUREY, who found testing conditions in is favour at Salisbury last month and remains with potential for his new yard. Witness Stand arrives on the back of an excellent effort here last month and is feared most, whilst Telemark still looked far from the finished article when scoring at Yarmouth and is also much respected.
