Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: W Stone

Crown Office⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| BF

8/15

Twice-raced colt. 9/4, fifth of 9 in maiden at York (7f, good to firm) 51 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Return to this trip looks a good move and he's a must for the shortlist.

Form: 25

(4)

Fallacious Promise

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Grace McEntee| T: J Butler

125/1

Foaled March 27. 5,000 gns foal, Lope Y Fernandez gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 7.4f Byron's Choice and 2-y-o 6f winner Twilight Song. Limited appeal on paper.

Irish Fusilier¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore

28/1

Twice-raced gelding. 16/1, fifth of 7 in novice at Bath (5f, good) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Probably more of a handicapping prospect.

Form: 95

Langstone

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: C G Cox

9/2

Foaled March 6. 38,000 gns foal, 100,000 gns yearling, Mayson colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 7f winner Sunfall and 2-y-o 7.4f winner Stark Warning. Interesting to see what the market has to say.

Marcellinus¹²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Tom Dascombe

5/1

Once-raced colt. Third of 8 in maiden (28/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut. Off 127 days. May well do better with that experience to draw upon.

Form: 3

150/1

Twice-raced gelding. 12/1, last of 8 in novice at Redcar (6f, good) 11 days ago. Readily passed over.

66/1

Foaled March 7. €22,000 yearling, €65,000 2-y-o, Sioux Nation colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Midnight Lir. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to useful 1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Kerkiyra. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers.

Form:

40/1

Twice-raced gelding. 10/1, last of 6 in maiden at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 67 days ago. Down in trip on this debut for new yard and first-time hood applied. May do better in handicaps in due course.

Forecasts

Crown Office (8/15), Beccadelli (9/4), Langstone (9/2), Marcellinus (5/1), Big Harry (9/1), Lady V (25/1), Irish Fusilier (28/1), Rogue Icon (40/1), Nana's Boy George (66/1), Fallacious Promise (125/1), Missile Kode (150/1)

The form of the Chelmsford maiden in which BIG HARRY was an encouraging third in June hasn't worked out at all badly (the winner recently finished second in a Group 1) and he shades preference ahead of the similarly promising Marcellinus. Godolphin's Beccadelli and Crown Office are strong candidates, while confidence behind newcomer Langstone would look significant.
