Daddy Chill³⁰⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: P R Chamings

40/1

Inns of Court gelding who showed benefit of his debut experience when fourth of 7 in maiden at Southwell (1m) back in March. Switched yards ahead of return to action and handicaps promise to be more suitable on the back of this.

Form: 34-

(7)

Gennadius⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 69

9/2

Fair colt who remains a maiden after 12 Flat runs. 9/2, possibly in need of the run after 4 months off when sixth of 9 in maiden at this course (6f) 7 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 33522-6

(2)

Hengist Pod

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston

3/1

Waldgeist colt. Dam, 1½m winner who stayed 1¾m, half-sister to 3 winners, including winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Volume (2-y-o 1m/9f winner). Certainly bred more for stamina than speed and the market can prove a useful guide on racecourse bow.

Tonyfromhr¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: J A Osborne

22/1

Speedily bred sort who didn't go unsupported but ultimately shaped with little promise when eighth of 9 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 12 days ago, beaten 3f out. Clearly thought capable of better then and this promises to reveal more.

Form: 8

Variety Act⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

4/5

Promising type. Second of 13 in maiden at this course (7f) on debut 50 days ago. May well do better and leading claims.

Form: 2-

(3)

Dor's Dazzler¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: J F Egan| T: D K Ivory

66/1

Dream Ahead filly who is a mix on breeding and she could only run to a poor level when fifth of 9 in maiden (80/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 12 days ago. This ought to reveal more.

Form: 5

(4)

Very Demure²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson

10/1

Merely matched modest debut form when fifth of 7 in novice at Newcastle (8f, 14/1) 26 days ago, outpaced over 2f out before plugging on. Will have handicaps as an option after this and they promise to be suitable.

Form: 65-

Forecasts

Variety Act (4/5), Hengist Pod (3/1), Gennadius (9/2), Very Demure (10/1), Tonyfromhr (22/1), Daddy Chill (40/1), Dor's Dazzler (66/1)

VARIETY ACT didn't go unsupported and offered something to work on amidst clear signs of inexperience when staying on for a share of second over 7f here in November. Looking sure to improve, not least now his stamina is tested further, he makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking depth. Gennadius and Tonyfromhr are others to note, whilst the market can guide in assessing newcomer Hengist Pod.
