Daydreama¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 90| C

14/1

Fairly useful colt. who won a brace of novice events over 6f this summer, including at this venue. Cast aside a heavy defeat when third of 14 in minor event (50/1) at York (7f, good) 10 days ago, finishing well. Worth another go at 1m on that evidence.

Rochfortbridge³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: O McSweeney| T: A Keatley| OR: 99

11/1

Winning debut at Ayr in July and useful form in defeat since, 2 lengths fifth of 7 to Oceans Four in Prix des Chenes at Chantilly (8f, good to soft, 9/1) 30 days ago, not ideally placed. Major player on form back in listed company.

Shayem²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 98

4/9

Winning debut in a novice at Haydock in August and improved again when doubling tally in 3-runner conditions stakes at Epsom (8.5f, good, 13/8) 22 days ago. May well do better and he's the one to beat.

Form: 131

Green Carrera^t¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: J P O'Brien| D

6/1

Tongue tied both starts, different proposition on second start when winning 9-runner maiden at Thurles (8.2f, good to soft) 11 days ago, always holding on. Likely to improve again given yard she represents.

Form: 61

(3)

Morven²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| D

7/1

Gleneagles filly shaped well when third of 10 in novice at Salisbury (8f, soft, 9/2) on her debut and duly built on that a fortnight later when landing 4-runner novice at Haydock 3 weeks ago. Smart pedigree and in the right hands to go on progressing.

Form: 31

Forecasts

Shayem (4/9), Green Carrera (6/1), Morven (7/1), Rochfortbridge (11/1), Daydreama (14/1)

SHAYEM just about sets the standard on his Epsom conditions win 3 weeks ago and with the prospect of more to come, he'll take some stopping here. Rochfortbridge is the obvious danger on form, though Morven and Green Carrera are open to plenty of progress.
