HKJC World Pool Vintage Stakes (Group 2)

Off time: 14:26 | Winning time: 1m 25.13s

An Outlaw's Grace¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

8/1

Dandy Man colt who made a winning debut in novice company at Salisbury (6f) in June and enhanced his form when fourth in Group 2 Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly (6f) on his latest outing 16 days ago. Type to progress again and he's respected for stable who won this 12 months ago with Haatem.

Form: 14

Aomori City¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 102

2/1

Oasis Dream colt who created a good impression in landing the odds first time out in 6-runner novice at Nottingham (6.1f, good) last month and he built on that when third in Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket (6f) 3 weeks ago. Of interest with 7f looking sure to be within range.

Form: 13

Arabian Sun⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: C G Cox

10/1

Promising start when second on debut here (6f) in May and duly built on that when taking 12-runner novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 7 weeks ago, finishing to good effect. This understandably demands more but there's more to come from him now tackling 7f.

Form: 21

Cool Hoof Luke⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 102

3/1

Advertise colt. Knew what was required when scoring on debut at Chelmsford (6f) last month and improved a chunk on that when fourth in the Coventry at Royal Ascot 6 weeks ago, giving best late on having helped force the pace. Promises to do better still.

Form: 14

Electrolyte¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 103

9/1

Landed a small-field Ayr maiden (6f) on debut before just failing to land Group 2 Coventry at the Royal Meeting. Easy to back and not at quite the same level when fifth of 6 to Whistlejacket in July Stakes at Newmarket (6f) 19 days ago but step up to 7f could well unlock further progress.

Form: 125

(5)

Tiger Mask¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 89| D

5/1

Havana Grey colt who has improved with each outing to date, looking well served by the increase in trip when making all to land 12-runner Ascot novice (7f) 17 days ago. That ought not to prove his limit at this trip.

Form: 421

(7)

Wolf Of Badenoch⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Spencer| T: H Palmer| D

14/1

Foaled March 20. Pinatubo colt. Ran out a decisive winner of a 9-runner maiden at Doncaster (7f) 44 days ago, only needing hands-and-heels riding and whilst this demands a big step forward, he's clearly open to a good deal of improvement.

The Parthenon⁴⁴

Weight: 9-3| Age: 2

T: A P O'Brien J: R L Moore

Forecasts

Aomori City (2/1), The Parthenon (5/2), Cool Hoof Luke (3/1), Tiger Mask (5/1), An Outlaw's Grace (8/1), Electrolyte (9/1), Arabian Sun (10/1), Wolf Of Badenoch (14/1)

Having showed near-useful form on debut in Group company, THE PARTHENON was never stronger than at the finish when landing a Gowran maiden (7f) 44 days ago. Evidently held in high regard his powerful stable, he's well worth his place back at pattern level and earns the vote to build on his latest run. An Outlaw's Grace following his good fourth in the Prix Robert Papin and Aomori City rate next best.
