Al Hussar⁷⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 77| D

16/1

Winner of 10-runner Doncaster maiden (5f, firm) in May but disappointing since, albeit stiff task in 19-runner Super Sprint at Newbury in July. Gelded since and switch to handicaps now rates a plus. Could bounce back.

Station X³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 76

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, last of 8 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good) 38 days ago, weakening when short of room final 1f. Eases in class here and yard amongst the winners so no surprise to see a better showing.

Form: 28628

Lovat Scout¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Shane Gray| T: K R Burke| OR: 74

13/2

Made a winning debut at Thirsk (6f) in July but not built on that in 2 subsequent outings, looking less than straightforward when eighth of 9 in nursery at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Eased 2 lb ahead of this and it's probably too soon to be writing him off for excellent stable.

Form: 168

Rogue Bullet^p¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Jack Jones| OR: 72| BF

9/4

Lightly-raced maiden. Looked unlucky not to finish closer when fifth of 12 in nursery at Bath (5f, good, 10/3) 18 days ago, twice short of room before finishing well. One to be interested in on the back of that.

Form: 54465

Brazilian Belle²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 72| CD

7/4

Won second of 3 starts in maidens and ran best race despite a tardy start when staying on third of 8 on nursery debut at Thirsk (5f) 25 days ago. On a workable mark on that evidence and she's one for the shortlist.

Form: 4103

Commander Atkinson⁶³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Garritty| T: G R Oldroyd| OR: 69

22/1

Kodiac colt who showed definite promise amidst greenness on debut at Nottingham (5f) in June. Unable to match that either start thereafter. Given a break ahead of nursery debut and interesting if the market spoke in his favour.

Form: 580

Azuinthejungle¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 67

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 33/1) 14 days ago, never on terms but not knocked about. Makes handicap debut and could yet have more to offer.

Form: 044

Tees Aggregates²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Murtagh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 66| D

12/1

Showed improved form when opening his account from the front on nursery debut at Leicester (5f) in July. Found things tougher from inflated marks since, however.

Form: 635136

(8)

Solar Biricz²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 62| BF| D

12/1

Winner at Musselburgh in August. 4/7, creditable second of 6 in nursery at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 25 days ago, no match for winner. Revised mark understandably demands that bit more.

Form: 508312

(11)

Barmyblade^b⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 52

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden who failed to improve for fitting of blinkers when fifth of 10 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good, 33/1) 48 days ago. Gelded subsequently and progress required if he's to play a lead role here.

Form: 479775

Forecasts

Brazilian Belle (7/4), Rogue Bullet (9/4), Roysdelight (11/2), Lovat Scout (13/2), Tees Aggregates (12/1), Solar Biricz (12/1), Al Hussar (16/1), Azuinthejungle (16/1), Commander Atkinson (22/1), Station X (25/1), Barmyblade (50/1)

ROGUE BULLET shaped well and looked unlucky not to finish closer having been denied a run when fifth on nursery debut at Bath 18 days ago. He's one to be interested in on that evidence and earns the vote. Brazilian Belle and Lovat Scout are others to consider, as is Roysdelight if taking up this engagement.
