Alice Fairfax¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 89

16/1

Lope De Vega filly who landed 6f Thirsk novice before posting a very good sixth in Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot on penultimate start. Couldn't keep the momentum going in the Prestige Stakes at Goodwood but merits respect down in grade.

Form: 4166

(8)

Toomuchforme²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke| OR: 85

6/1

Proved a different proposition to debut (when sent off favourite) following a breathing operation/11 weeks off when comfortable winner of 6f Ripon novice, then gave it a good go under a penalty (probably bumped into one) at Newbury last time. Worthy of interest.

Form: 712

Silver Ghost²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 82

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, creditable second of 8 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago, no match for winner. Should give another good account.

Form: 0322

(10)

Griselda²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott| OR: 81

11/1

Looked highly progressive when bagging a third success in 6f Thirsk nursery in July. Hasn't fired on last two starts but appeared stretched by 7f trip at York on latest, so this slight drop back in distance should suit.

Form: 711188

Beauty Nation⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 80| BF

20/1

Impressive debut winner at Kempton and backed it up with a solid showing under a penalty at Wolverhampton. Remains with potential if she's as effective on this surface.

Form: 12

(12)

Ghost Run²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 80

5/1

Lightly-raced winner. Respectable eighth of 20 in minor event (13/2) at York (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Should find this a more realistic assignment and she's probably not hit her limit just yet.

Form: 56148

(6)

Dear Cat²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Edward Greatrex| T: W Greatrex| OR: 79| D

11/2

Boosted her progressive profile when landing a maiden in good style at Salisbury last time, showing a willing response to pressure. Appeals as the type to take to this more competitive environment, so should be involved.

Form: 521

(16)

Eartha¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 79

12/1

Promising sort who opened her account at the second attempt at Wetherby in June and was quite strong at the finish when third at Southwell recently. Step up in trip is in her favour and she can't be dismissed.

Form: 213

(1)

Substitute⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 78

20/1

Winner at Ripon in May. Bit below form sixth of 16 in nursery (33/1) at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 1306

(11)

Hackney Diamonds⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S M Levey| T: B J Meehan| OR: 77| D

33/1

Progressive sort who made a successful winning nursery bow at Leicester in July but failed to build on it in a more competitive race at Goodwood last time. Has had a short break since then.

Form: 95310

(15)

Art Design²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 76

4/1

Generally progressive and overcame a poor position to get up late in a nursery at Southwell last time. Small rise for that may underestimate her, and she strikes as a big player.

Form: 36231

(13)

Skellig Isle⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: S De Sousa| T: T Ward| OR: 76

22/1

Getting better with each run and displayed a good attitude to open her account in a maiden at Nottingham last time. Step back up in trip should suit and she's an interesting nursery debutante.

Form: 041

(2)

Oolong Poobong²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: P J McDonald| T: E Bethell| OR: 75| BF

25/1

Improved from debut to get off the mark at Newcastle in August but failed to beat a rival at Wolverhampton last time and has plenty to find.

Form: 219

(3)

Stage Effect²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E Walker| OR: 73

40/1

Left her debut form behind switched to turf when winning at Haydock (6f, soft) in May. Not at best since, though, and this is likely to prove too competitive.

Form: 6184

(5)

Hot Like Me⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: R Spencer| OR: 72

40/1

Stepped up on previous efforts when third in a novice at Newmarket last time but opening mark demands more progress if she's to compete.

Form: 083

Forecasts

Art Design (4/1), Ghost Run (5/1), Dear Cat (11/2), Toomuchforme (6/1), Griselda (11/1), Eartha (12/1), Silver Ghost (12/1), Scatter Penny (12/1), Alice Fairfax (16/1), Beauty Nation (20/1), Substitute (20/1), Skellig Isle (22/1), Oolong Poobong (25/1), Hackney Diamonds (33/1), Stage Effect (40/1), Hot Like Me (40/1)

ART DESIGN did well to get up from a most unpromising position at Southwell and promises to be suited by this longer trip, so she gets the nod over Toomuchforme, who was denied by a stablemate of the selection at Newbury last time. Dear Cat is another big player.
