Arctic Thunder

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

7/4

Dashing Willie

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Marco Ghiani| T: W Stone

20/1

Foaled April 26. 6,500 gns yearling, Cable Bay colt. Dam, unraced, closely related to useful 1m-9.5f winner Caserta and 13f-15f winner Destruct out of smart 1½m winner Daring Miss. Only the third 2-y-o runner for yard this year.

Eccentric⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: J A Osborne

50/1

Well held in a pair of quick runs already this month, again running green when fifth of 8 in minor event (50/1) at Kempton (6f) 5 days ago. Likely to need more time.

Form: 05

(9)

Global Asset¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Enright⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Haggas

12/1

Showed bit more than on debut when seventh of 8 in maiden (11/2) at Newcastle (6f) 2 weeks ago. Could yet do better for his leading yard, so he merits consideration.

Form: 07

(3)

Jussonemor⁶¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Luke Catton⁽⁵⁾| T: A West

250/1

Down the field in a pair of minor events in September, last of 11 at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 125/1) on the second occasion. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 90

(12)

Morning Suit¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson

15/8

Shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (6f, 9/2) on debut 10 days ago, fading final 1f. Leading claims with improvement to come.

Form: 4

(7)

On Song²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: G Boughey

20/1

Still green when sixth of 9 in maiden (50/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 23 days ago, again slowly away. Further progress needed.

Form: 96

(11)

Rothay Park²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: D & C Kubler

16/1

Still in need of the experience when eighth of 12 in minor event (80/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 28 days ago. Looks one for the longer term.

Form: 08

(6)

Cherryblossom Time¹⁰¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: R A Teal

11/1

Didn't shape with much immediate promise when eighth of 9 in minor event (16/1) at Salisbury (6f, good) in August on debut. Major improvement required after 3 months off.

Form: 8

(4)

Gultari^h1¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: W J Haggas

12/1

Very green when ninth of 12 in minor event (28/1) at Kempton (6f) on debut 10 days ago, slowly away. Needs to have learnt plenty from that first experience. Hood now applied.

Form: 9

(5)

Lunar Rocks¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: George Rooke| T: Ollie Sangster

66/1

Half-sister to several winners but didn't offer much when last of 12 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 14/1) on debut 12 days ago. Will need to leave her first effort well behind.

Form: 0

(2)

Salaamaat¹²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Rae Guest

16/1

Fifth of 7 in minor event at Doncaster (6f, soft, 8/1) on her second start in July, merely plugging on. Off 4 months ahead of first run for yard after leaving Charles Hills.

Form: 95

Forecasts

Arctic Thunder (7/4), Morning Suit (15/8), Cherryblossom Time (11/1), Global Asset (12/1), Gultari (12/1), Rothay Park (16/1), Salaamaat (16/1), On Song (20/1), Dashing Willie (20/1), Eccentric (50/1), Lunar Rocks (66/1), Jussonemor (250/1)

MORNING SUIT shaped as if better for the run when fourth at Kempton 10 days ago, so he can take a step forward from his debut effort to get off the mark. Newcomer Arctic Thunder represents a leading yard and is one to consider first time up, while Global Asset could be capable of better and completes the shortlist.
