7/2

Off the mark at Bath in July and steady improvement in 3 runs since, again running well when third of 14 in nursery at this course (7f, good to soft, 10/1) 36 days ago. Looks sure to make another bold bid.

The Hare Rail¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: R A Teal| OR: 77

14/1

Has shown promise on all 3 of his starts so far and may yet do better now handicapping, though his opening mark could have been kinder.

Form: 426

Form: 953108

Prosperitas¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Aidan Keeley| T: T Kent| OR: 75

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden who showed improved form when fifth of 14 in minor event at York (7f, soft, 40/1) 15 days ago, having to pick way through. Makes handicap debut. Open to further progress but drop back to 6f isn't sure to be in his favour, even on testing ground.

Form: 3835

11/1

In good form in deep ground of late, winning at Bath (5.7f) and second at Leicester (6f) and Goodwood (7f). Can go well again.

Forecasts

Prosperitas (3/1), Jr Climbs (7/2), Priapos (9/2), Rock Hunter (5/1), Art Design (13/2), Emporess (11/1), East Tyrone (12/1), The Hare Rail (14/1), Hackney Diamonds (18/1)

JR CLIMBS showed he's still improving when third in a competitive nursery here last month and, with underfoot conditions holding no fears, he's an appealing candidate. Emporess is another who arrives in excellent heart, with Rock Hunter completing the shortlist.
