El Burhan²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: G Boughey| OR: 90| D

11/4

Confirmed debut promise when off the mark and responded well again to defy a penalty at Beverley last month. Potential to be better than a handicapper, so definite player.

Form: 411

(12)

Mr Chaplin⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 88

10/1

Emerged best of newcomers when fourth behind The Actor at Newmarket (5f, good, 16/1) before ready winner of 20-runner maiden (11/2) at Newbury in May. Didn't play a part in the Coventry at Royal Ascot but given a short break since and could get back on the up.

Form: 410

(11)

Fred On Fire¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: H Palmer| OR: 85| BF

12/1

Mehmas colt who made a winning debut in game fashion when taking 12-runner Newcastle novice in June, then pulled too hard (still ran respectably) when third under a penalty at Ayr. Should settle better in this bigger field.

Form: 13

(15)

King Of Angels¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 83| D

20/1

Left previous efforts behind upped in trip after a break when scoring readily at Doncaster last time. Unlikely to have reached his limit and looks a potential player having first go in nurseries.

Form: 431

(16)

Brighton Boy²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 82

3/1

Progressing nicely and looked more professional when opening his account in ready fashion at Chester last time, well on top at the finish having impressed with how he travelled. Worth a chance to show him better than a mark of 82.

Form: 521

(6)

Original Outlaw^b1¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 80| BF

9/1

Progressed from his debut (race which has produced winners) on both subsequent starts, runner-up at Salisbury 19 days ago. Blinkered for nursery debut and can make presence felt if he continues his improvement.

Form: 732

(5)

Jet Packer¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 80

22/1

Much better for debut when second in novice at Newbury but didn't quite get home back up to this trip at Epsom a fortnight ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 024

(10)

Substitute⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 79

33/1

Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Ripon but disappointed at odds on there next time and was out of her depth in the Albany at Royal AScot last time. Goes into nurseries after a break and can't be fully dismissed.

Form: 130

(3)

Fearless Freddy⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 78| D

9/2

Has improved with each run and seemed to benefit from the step up to this trip when landing an 8-runner maiden at Leicester 47 days ago. Mark of 78 looks more than fair and he's seemingly been saved for a crack at this, so definite claims from a good draw.

Form: 731

(13)

Cracking Man²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 78

66/1

Pretty tight in the betting and showed much more than on debut when second of 8 in maiden at Carlisle. Underwhelming at Nottingham next time and now goes up 2f in trip for nursery bow.

Form: 927

(8)

Sunshine State³³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: D Egan| T: C Johnston| OR: 77

20/1

Overcame unfavourable circumstances to make a winning debut at Chelmsford in June and was far from disgraced upped to listed company at Newmarket since. Remains with potential in more realistic company.

Form: 17

(14)

Dukes Of Haather^b²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Keatley| OR: 77| D

28/1

11/2 and blinkered for 1st time, left previous efforts behind when winning 6-runner nursery at Chester (7f, good to soft) 20 days ago, well on top finish. Should remain competitive if the headgear continues to have a positive effect.

Form: 73331

(9)

Gold Medallist²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 73

80/1

Just fair form to date and failed to improve on nursery debut at Haydock last time. Others have more potential.

Form: 2934

(17)

Veydari¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Vincent C Y Ho| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73

25/1

Cost plenty at the Breeze Ups and has shaped as if there's a bigger performance in him on each of his three racecourse outings to date. Longer trip should suit, so he's worthy of interest from a fair opening mark.

Form: 643

(1)

Glitter Code²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: W J Knight| OR: 70

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in maiden at Brighton (7f, soft, 7/2) 23 days ago. Handicapper has handed him a stiff opening mark and he's likely to struggle.

Form: 663

(7)

Kon'nichiwa²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: B J Meehan| OR: 68

40/1

€60,000 yearling. Better with each run to date but yet to make an impact and might find this too competitive switched to nurseries.

Form: 967

Forecasts

El Burhan (11/4), Brighton Boy (3/1), Fearless Freddy (9/2), Original Outlaw (9/1), Mr Chaplin (10/1), Defence Missile (10/1), Fred On Fire (12/1), Sunshine State (20/1), King Of Angels (20/1), Jet Packer (22/1), Veydari (25/1), Dukes Of Haather (28/1), Substitute (33/1), Kon'nichiwa (40/1), Glitter Code (40/1), Cracking Man (66/1), Gold Medallist (80/1)

A typically wide-open nursery at this meeting. BRIGHTON BOY has a wide draw to contend with but, if he can get over, he could show that a mark of 82 underestimates him. El Burhan has looked a useful prospect at least so far and is a formidable danger, while Fearless Freddy is another one who may have been let in lightly from his opening mark.
