A Bear Affair³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 94

9/1

Kodi Bear colt who won the Brocklesby at Doncaster on the opening day of the turf season. Best effort since when ½-length second of 8 to Bint Archange in listed race at Sandown (5f, good) last month but he was brushed aside returned to 6f at Newbury.

Night In Vegas²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 102| D

6/5

Impressed when making a winning debut over 6f at Ascot and following up in 3-runner race at Goodwood. Progressed again when length fifth of 21 to Great Barrier Reef in Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and subsequent placed effort in the Richmond adds further weight that he's the one to beat.

Form: 1153

Baddaddan¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: R Spencer| OR: 83| D

17/2

Confirmed the promise of his Newbury debut when landing 3-runner novice at Nottingham (6f) 11 days ago. This demands another jolt of improvement from these terms but his limit hasn't been reached.

Form: 41

Chief Minister¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

125/1

Set to struggle on the evidence of his first 2 runs.

Form: 95

Conciliate⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: N Callan| T: J Butler| OR: 78| D

80/1

St Mark's Basilica colt who didn't need to improve on the level displayed when third at York in June to get off the mark at Ayr last month. Displayed a good attitude that day but dominating this big field a different undertaking.

Form: 731

(11)

Everatease¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 81| D

18/1

Winner of 6f sellers at Chester and York at the start of the summer, with the form of the latter franked on several occasions since. Upped his game himself when second of 5 in a nursery at Windsor and that form entitles him to respect.

Form: 641102

Red Blue Point²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: S De Sousa| T: J Tate

16/1

92,000 gns yearling, Blue Point colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Espona Bay. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Very promising start when second of 8 after a slow start at Thirsk (5f) 3 weeks ago. Sure to leave bare form of that well behind.

Form: 2

Mojito Madness³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: S Donohoe| T: Gihan Arnolda| OR: 77

66/1

Continued theme of race-by-race progress when landing 13-runner maiden at Redcar last month (7f). Runner-up that day won next time but this is a deeper race and drop back to 6f isn't bound to suit.

Form: 531

Frumoasa⁹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Paddy Bradley| T: C Fellowes| OR: 78

100/1

Matched form of winning debut at Southwell when third at Kempton in May. Off since and that level well short of what is required here switched to turf.

Form: 13

(18)

Topaz³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: J Channon| OR: 83| D

4/1

Runner-up either side of a mid-field effort in the Albany and put that experience to good use when landing the odds at Salisbury a month ago. Can make her presence felt.

Form: 2021

(8)

Baldetti¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Dods| OR: 74

150/1

Half-brother to 3 winners and built on debut promise when second of 7 in novice at Pontefract (6f, good) last month. Failed badly to back that up at Hamilton and this a tough race to bounce back in.

Form: 325

(14)

Leucothea¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 73

66/1

Improved for the return to 6f when second in a Nottingham nursery but she's had 5 starts now and looks vulnerable.

Form: 23202

(15)

Proper Naughty¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Alec Voikhansky| T: R Hannon

50/1

Foaled February 1. 50,000 gns yearling, Mehmas filly. Dam, French 7f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Better Together out of useful 1¼m winner Shared Account. Displayed ability when third of 6 on debut at Windsor 3 weeks ago. Expected to build on that.

Form: 3

(6)

Zigazig Ah²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer| OR: 85| D

4/1

Rajasinghe filly who opened her account in a Yarmouth maiden (6f) in June before getting her head down where it mattered to land valuable Super Sprint at Newbury. Similar form when fifth in a conditions stakes at Goodwood 3 weeks ago. Back up in distance.

Form: 2115

(9)

Supreme Star²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: M Botti| OR: 79

40/1

Sharper for debut when second of 5 at Nottingham last month. Not in the same form despite occupying same spot at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago.

Form: 622

Lady Rosalind³³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Ashley Lewis| T: W J Haggas| OR: 75| BF| D

66/1

Left Yarmouth debut behind when winning 11-runner novice at Ripon (6f, good). Mixed messages from that form and she was well held at Windsor last time.

Form: 917

(5)

Tallahassee Lassie¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: George Bass| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 64

150/1

Left previous form behind when making a winning nursery debut (well backed) at Ffos Las 5 weeks ago, bit in hand. Unable to land a blow at Kempton returned to 6f and tough ask on these terms.

Form: 65319

(10)

Polgaria⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Olivia Tubb| T: R A Teal| OR: 48

125/1

Has hinted at ability in 3 runs. Open to progress but low-grade nurseries likely more suitable.

Form: 884

Forecasts

Night In Vegas (6/5), Zigazig Ah (4/1), Topaz (4/1), Baddaddan (17/2), A Bear Affair (9/1), Red Blue Point (16/1), Everatease (18/1), Ron's Angel (25/1), Supreme Star (40/1), Proper Naughty (50/1), Mojito Madness (66/1), Lady Rosalind (66/1), Leucothea (66/1), Conciliate (80/1), Frumoasa (100/1), Issy's Gift (100/1), Chief Minister (125/1), Polgaria (125/1), Tallahassee Lassie (150/1), Baldetti (150/1)

Eve Johnson Houghton looks to have a strong hand here with NIGHT IN VEGAS, who has useful form to his name in better company than this, the one to beat. Zigazig Ah has already bagged a valuable pot this summer and she can be a factor over 6f, with Everatease, a stablemate of the selection, also of interest.
