Bouboule¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: R Kingscote| T: D & C Kubler

12/1

Given a considerate introduction when 10/1, seventh of 13 in a novice event at Kempton (7f) on debut 16 days ago. Could improve and one to keep an eye on in the betting now up to a mile.

5/4

Fair gelding. First run since leaving Richard Hannon (sold for 40.000 gns) when creditable second of 8 in maiden at this course (7.1f, evens) 10 days ago, strong favourite, made the running and edged out final 100 yds. Speedy pedigree but shapes as if a mile is within his grasp. Leading player.

San Juanito⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: S D Bowen| T: S & E Crisford

6/4

Twice-raced gelding. 7/2, third of 9 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f) 43 days ago, badly hampered early in straight, plugged on. Extra furlong will be in his favour and is one for the shortlist.

Form: 53-

Wanderlust¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti

13/2

Twice-raced gelding. Second of 10 in a maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/4) 13 days ago, dictated matters, quickened 2f out but readily left behind by winner. That form puts him in the mix here.

Form: 3-2

D Day Major Winter

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Joanna Mason| T: K P De Foy

20/1

Ulysses colt who is closely related to winner abroad by Sixties Icon and half-brother to 1½m winner Withoutdestination. Dam, ran once in bumper, a half-sister to useful winner up to 1m On Our Way. Others more appealing unless the market suggests otherwise.

Top Of Pleinmont⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P D Evans

150/1

Thrice-raced gelding. 200/1, eleventh of 15 in a novice event at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 84 days ago. Gelded for AW debut but looks the type to do better once handicapping.

Forecasts

Invited (5/4), San Juanito (6/4), Wanderlust (13/2), Noble Testimony (8/1), Sant Alessio (10/1), Bouboule (12/1), D Day Major Winter (20/1), Top Of Pleinmont (150/1)

INVITED did very little wrong when narrowly beaten here 10 days ago and has every chance of going one better on his first try at a mile. San Juanito will find the extra furlong in his favour and he's the main danger ahead of Wanderlust who can hit the frame again.
