Al Zanati⁶⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

3/1

Dubawi colt who looks the part and overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in a 9-runner maiden on July course (7f, good to firm) 64 days ago, running green before keeping on. Looks sure to improve and highly respected quickly up in class for leading outfit.

11/2

340,000 gns Blue Point colt who showed a sharp turn of foot to make a winning debut in a Chelmsford novice (7f) in August. Much improved despite looking ill at ease in dip when third in 7f Group 3 here 16 days ago but that experience won't have been wasted on him and there's more to come upped to 1m

Form: 13

Glacius³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Loughnane| T: H Palmer| OR: 95| D

40/1

Won 1m novice in good style on July course in August and stepped forward on form without threatening for win purposes when fourth of 7 in listed Ascendant Stakes at Haydock (1m) 35 days ago. Entitled to have learned from that but others make more appeal on this occasion.

Form: 14

Hankelow²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 102| BF

5/2

Night of Thunder colt who was a comfortable winner on debut in a York novice (7f) in June (backed up by the time) and he confirmed he's potentially smart when second in listed Flying Scotsman Stakes at Doncaster (7f) 4 weeks ago. Sets the standard on that effort and big player now tackling 1m.

Form: 12

New Zealand⁸⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

15/2

Frankel colt who had evidently derived plenty from his debut and ridden much more positively, displayed a most professional attitude to hold off a pair of promising newcomers in a 7f Curragh maiden 84 days ago. This understandably demands more but represents top yard and there's better to come.

Form: 71

(6)

Pathein²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E A L Dunlop| D

10/1

St Mark's Basilica colt who was easy to back but confirmed himself a good prospect nevertheless when scoring on debut in 10-runner maiden at Doncaster (1m) 4 weeks ago, holding on gamely. Lengthy sort who looks sure to go on to better things.

Form: 1

(5)

Straight Up¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: C Soumillon| T: A P O'Brien

7/2

Wootton Bassett colt who makes plenty of appeal on paper and he made a very good impression when making a winning debut in a 13-runner Listowel maiden (7f, soft) 18 days ago, produced to lead final 1f and keeping on well. Another sure-fire improver who is well worth his place in this company.

Form: 1

No shortage of untapped potential on show with HANKELOW selected to come out on top. A very good winner on debut at York in June, he took a sizeable step forward when beaten only by another very promising sort in listed company at Doncaster 4 weeks ago, and there's surely even more to come from Karl Burke's colt now tackling 1m. Godolphin's Al Zanati overcame greenness when a debut scorer on the July course 64 days ago and he's feared. Archer Royal and Straight Up are others to consider.
