13/2

Very green on debut but much improved when successful at Haydock next time, before following up in straightforward fashion at Kempton (7f) in August. However, well held in Acomb Stakes at York 22 days ago, so bounce back called for now handicapping.

Form: 7119

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 86| D

11/4

Continued his progress when dead-heating for first at Glorious Goodwood and ran at least as well on nursery debut when fourth of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Not taken lightly with cheekpieces added.

Form: 6214

Back In Black²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 86| D

2/1

Promise when runner-up first 2 starts before doing well in the circumstances when landing the odds (8/13) in a Yarmouth maiden (7f, good) last time, recovering from clipping heels 2f out. Major player with better still to come as he goes handicapping.

Form: 221

Thunder Wonder²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 85| D

6/1

With the form of his second run at Newmarket working out well, took a step forward when winning 10-runner novice at Thirsk (7f, good) last month. Needs to find more again as he makes his handicap debut.

Form: 361

Qaseem²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Gray| T: K R Burke| OR: 82

5/1

Showed a good attitude when making a winning nursery debut at Haydock (6f) in August. Improved further when third of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago, travelling strongly, and he can make his presence felt once more.

Form: 72213

Valsharah¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: S De Sousa| T: C Hills| OR: 69

14/1

Left debut form behind when fifth of 12 in a Windsor novice in July and bounced back from a lesser effort when filling the same position on nursery debut at Sandown (7f, good) 12 days ago. Has something to find, though, as he bids to get off the mark.

Forecasts

Back In Black (2/1), Spell Master (11/4), Qaseem (5/1), Thunder Wonder (6/1), Jorge Alvares (6/1), Yaroogh (13/2), Valsharah (14/1)

Having previously run to a fairly useful level, BACK IN BLACK did very well to overcome a bad stumble when getting off the mark at Yarmouth last month, so he could be capable of following up as he makes his nursery debut. He is taken to see off the challenge of the progressive Spell Master, with Jorge Alvares another to note on his handicap bow.
