Victory Sound²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: William Cox| T: C Hills| OR: 89

11/1

All the sharper for his debut when shading a tight finish in 7f Haydock maiden in June. Has struggled in a Sandown Group 3 and valuable sales race at Doncaster since but should make more of an impact with his sights lowered.

Quamby³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Hayley Turner| T: D M Simcock

Suhub²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas

Forecasts

Pakal (3/1), Suhub (7/2), Urban Glimpse (9/2), Venezuelan (5/1), Family Knight (15/2), Victory Sound (11/1), Mersea Island (18/1), Night Step (18/1), Premier (40/1), Molveno (66/1), Savvy Stellar (66/1), Quamby (100/1)

SUHUB shaped promisingly at Newmarket recently and is preferred to the class-dropping Victory Sound. Urban Glimpse should build on his C&D debut second, while Ralph Beckett newcomer Venezuelan would also enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour.
