Artagnan²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: James Doyle| T: K R Burke| OR: 87| D

5/2

Belatedly confirmed his debut promise when making a successful start to his nursery career in 16-runner event at Glorious Goodwood. Even better form when second (Far Above The Law neck back in third) in another big-field nursery at the York Ebor meeting (both 6f, good to firm). Should go well again.

Form: 20512

Wheels Of Fire¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 84

4/1

Didn't need to improve when making it fourth time lucky in 5f Lingfield (AW) novice 13 days ago. An opening mark in the mid-80s demands more of him.

Shout³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 83| BF| D

6/1

Advertise colt who confirmed debut promise when winning 8-runner Salisbury novice (6f, good to firm) in July. Similar form when third of 12 back there since. Unexposed nursery debutant but his mark looks tough.

Blinky¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: E Walker| OR: 77| BF

12/1

Won 5f novice at Leicester in May. Best run in nurseries since when third of 6 at Sandown (5f, good) a fortnight ago, shaping as if ready for 6f.

Shazani⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: C Johnston| OR: 77| D

11/1

Hamilton maiden winner in June. Struggled in his fist 3 nurseries but back on the returned to Hamilton when narrowly denied in 6f nursery 9 days ago, although he did rather throw it away by hanging left late on. Races off the same mark here so needs considering.

Far Above The Law²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 76| D

11/2

Chepstow maiden winner in July who has improved on that form when placed twice in nurseries since, latterly a big-field race at the York Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm). Nudged up 3 lb for that but it shouldn't prevent him making a bold bid.

Form: 463133

Rare Change^b1²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Hughes| OR: 75| BF

5/1

Found improvement since switched to nurseries, including third of 16 to Artagnan at Goodwood (6f, firm) last month. Finished a place behind Far Above The Law when fourth of 12 at Newbury since. Blinkered first time under Oisin Murphy.

Equalised⁶³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Hills| OR: 71

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Always behind at Chester in July but shaped well when fourth on AW at Kempton (6f) prior to that and he's of some interest now switched to a nursery after a break, particularly if backed.

Forecasts

Artagnan (5/2), Diligently (3/1), Wheels Of Fire (4/1), Rare Change (5/1), Far Above The Law (11/2), Shout (6/1), Sensorium (6/1), Shazani (11/1), Blinky (12/1), Equalised (33/1)

FAR ABOVE THE LAW is taken to turn around recent York form with Artagnan (who should go well again) and make it third time lucky with nurseries. Rare Change is also quite closely matched with that pair on Goodwood and Newbury form and could also play a prominent role, particularly if reacting well to first-time blinkers.
