Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| D

5/4

€530,000 Kingman colt was an impressive winner of a 7f Newmarket July meeting maiden. Smart prospect for a top stable with a strong record in this race.

Hott Shott²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hughes| D

16/1

Too Darn Hot colt who built on his Kempton debut in June when finishing strongly to force a dead heat in a 7f Glorious Goodwood maiden (good to firm) 4 weeks ago. Capable of better.

Matauri Bay²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| D

15/2

500,000 gns yearling who overcame a sluggish start to make a winning debut at Leicester (7f) 3 weeks ago, looking very useful. Big player.

Royal Playwright⁴⁹

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

15/8

From a family which has served his owner well and he looked well above average when readily making a winning start at Salisbury (7f, good) 49 days ago. Definitely more to come.

Tiger Mask³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 102| D

15/2

Havana Grey colt who has improved with each outing to date, making all in 7f Ascot novice in July and 3¼ lengths fourth of 7 to Aomori City in Group 2 Vintage at Goodwood (7f again) since.

Form: 4214

Victory Sound⁷⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: C Hills| D

50/1

All the sharper for his debut when shading a tight finish in 7f Haydock maiden in June. This is a big jump in class 10 weeks on but he should have more to offer.

Form: 51

Zou's Your Daddy¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Loughnane| T: S Pearce

150/1

Made a promising start to his career when narrowly denied on his 7f Kempton debut 19 days ago but would still be a shock winner stepped up to Group level on the back of that.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Field Of Gold (5/4), Royal Playwright (15/8), Matauri Bay (15/2), Tiger Mask (15/2), An Outlaw's Grace (14/1), Hott Shott (16/1), Victory Sound (50/1), Zou's Your Daddy (150/1)

The Gosden stable's good record in this Group 3 contest swings the vote the way of FIELD OF GOLD over Matauri Bay, with both impressing when landing maiden/novice wins last time. Royal Playwright also looked useful when scoring on his debut and is next on the list.
