Loblolly¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S Woods| OR: 79

5/2

Invincible Spirit colt who made much more impact than previously having been able to dictate when second of 6 in novice at Chelmsford City (1m) 13 days ago, caught post. However, that hasn't done his opening mark any favours and he'll need to improve again on handicap debut.

Steel Drum²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 72

15/8

Displayed steady progress in trio of runs in maiden/novice company and another step forward when third on nursery debut at Chester (7f) in July, coming home to good effect. Likely best not judged harshly on his latest Goodwood run 3 weeks ago and he remains capable of better now upped to 1m.

Going Commando^b1¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A Keatley| OR: 72

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form third of 8 in seller at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm, 5/1) 12 days ago, outpaced 2f out and running on. Blinkers now the headgear of choice and step up to 1m could well see him in a better light.

Royal Bodyguard¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: H Crouch| T: M L W Bell| OR: 67

7/4

Kodi Bear colt who has improved with each run, looking suited by the extra 1f when third of 7 on nursery debut at Newmarket (7f) 11 days ago. This even longer trip promises to suit on that evidence and he's certainly one to consider.

Form: 5533

Forecasts

Royal Bodyguard (7/4), Steel Drum (15/8), Loblolly (5/2), Going Commando (10/1)

STEEL DRUM leaves the impression we've yet to see all he has to offer and, with this rating his easiest assignment to date since switched to nurseries, Eve Johnson Houghton's colt could well be the answer to this small-field affair. Royal Bodyguard gave the impression at Newmarket this step up to 1m would suit and he may well emerge as the lead danger.
