Almutraf⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: C Hills

13/2

Profitable colt. 40/1, shaped as if needing the experience when twelfth of 13 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, heavy) on debut 47 days ago, running green over 2f out and soon beaten. This should reveal more.

Dovey Moon⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jordan Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans

200/1

Little show in novice/maiden events in October. Low-grade handicaps promise to be more his thing.

Form: 00

(2)

Duke Orsino⁸⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

18/1

Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, last of 7 in novice at Sandown (7f, good) 84 days ago. Gelded subsequently and his pedigree suggests he's not one to be giving up on, particularly in handicaps.

Form: 07

(6)

Happy Banner¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: E Walker

15/8

Starspangledbanner colt. Left his soft-ground debut effort well behind when third of 12 in novice at Newcastle (7.1f, 11/1) 19 days ago, headway out wide over 3f out and plugging on. In good hands and he may do better again.

Form: 73

(1)

Jarham³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C G Cox

6/4

Territories colt who showed more than on debut despite still looking in need of the experience when fifth of 9 in maiden (16/1) at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 32 days ago, running on. Shortlisted with further progress on the cards.

Form: 05

(3)

Qaaeadd^h²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: P Attwater

66/1

Off 5 months/gelded, did no better for debut effort starting out for new yard when eighth of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton (6.1f) equipped with a first-time hood 23 days ago. Passed over.

Form: 78

(9)

Ribbon Is A Dancer²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer

80/1

Soldier's Call colt. Showed only greenness when tenth of 11 in maiden (12/1) at Southwell (6.1f) on debut 28 days ago. This promises to reveal more.

Form: 0

(11)

Yielding To None¹³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Dow

33/1

Promise when fifth of 14 in novice at Southwell (6.1f) in July on only start for George Scott. Changed hands for 5,000 gns/gelded in October and he should have more to offer.

Form: 5

(7)

Jenubiyah

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Varian

9/2

Foaled March 26. Too Darn Hot filly. Dam unraced sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Taghrooda (won Oaks/King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes) out of smart 1m-1¾m winner Ezima. Very interesting newcomer representing leading connections and she needs considering.

Form:

(10)

Sandhill Dancer⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T E Whelan| T: Harry Charlton

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, seventh of 10 in novice at this C&D 42 days ago, weakening having raced freely. Another likely type for low-grade handicaps.

Form: 07

(5)

Straighttothepoint⁸³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: M J Attwater

100/1

Far Above filly who got off the mark at fifth attempt in a French claimer at Le Croise-Laroche (5.5f) on final start for Florian Guyader in September. However, that form was only modest and she'll likely need to step up if she's to follow up starting out for new yard.

Form: 34761

Forecasts

Jarham (6/4), Happy Banner (15/8), Jenubiyah (9/2), Almutraf (13/2), Duke Orsino (18/1), Yielding To None (33/1), Qaaeadd (66/1), Ribbon Is A Dancer (80/1), Straighttothepoint (100/1), Sandhill Dancer (125/1), Dovey Moon (200/1)

JENUBIYAH makes plenty of appeal on paper starting out in a race in which those with previous form set only a fair standard, so Roger Varian's filly could be the way to go before market clues. Jarham and Happy Banner both improved with a debut run under their belts and can also feature.
