Twice-raced winner. Left debut behind when winning 10-runner maiden at Kempton (7f) 14 days ago. Open to further improvement but has to give weight to some promising sorts.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: J & T Gosden

22/1

10/3, green when fourth of 9 in novice at Southwell (7f) on debut 20 days ago, nearest finish. Should have more to offer for leading connections.

Form: 4

(7)

Hierax⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: W J Haggas

9/1

10/1, plenty of encouragement when fifth of 8 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 40 days ago. Should improve.

Form: 5

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman

250/1

Foaled February 28. Gleneagles colt. Half-brother to 1½m/12.4f winner Havachoc. Best watched on debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Imperial Nation¹²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

8/1

11/2, showed promise when third of 6 in novice at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on debut in May. It's taken a bit of time to get him back to the track but he's another in this field who should have more to offer.

Form: 3

(3)

Kingdom Of Kush²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| BF

9/2

Promising sort. Second of 8 in maiden (85/40) at Newbury (6.5f, firm) on debut 21 days ago, finishing with running left. Likely to improve and leading claims.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Altius (8/15), Kingdom Of Kush (9/2), Imperial Nation (8/1), Hierax (9/1), Charlemont Gg (14/1), El Morjan (22/1), Highland Frost (250/1)

KINGDOM OF KUSH gets the vote on the back of a promising opening second at Newbury last month, although a strong market move for Charlie Appleby newcomer Altius would put a slightly different slant on things. Hierax is next on the list.
