Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R M Beckett

22/1

Torquator Tasso colt who has shaped with encouragement when fifth in a pair of novices at Sandown (7f) and over C&D this summer. Can do better for good yard.

7/1

New Bay colt made an encouraging start when fifth in valuable 7f maiden at York and backed it up when third of 10 in maiden at Doncaster (1m, good) 2 weeks ago. Not out of things.

Form: 53

Hands To Yourself²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: M L W Bell

9/4

Camelot colt made a promising start with a clear second of 9 in novice over C&D (good to soft) 23 days ago, finishing well under hand riding. Open to a fair bit of progress. Likely player.

Form: 2

Impasto²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding

9/4

Sent off 10/3 and shaped with plenty of encouragement when second of 11 in strong maiden at Ascot (7f, good) on debut 22 days ago. That form has been franked and he looks sure to progress. Big shout.

Form: 2

River Glen

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: R Menzies

50/1

Foaled March 20. €33,000 Gleneagles gelding. Brother to winner up to 8.3f Drummin Life and half-brother to 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Taxi Driver. The betting should prove an accurate guide for this newcomer.

Royal Acclamation¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Toby Moore⁽⁷⁾| T: C Appleby

2/1

Left debut form well behind with second of 7 in maiden at Goodwood (1m, heavy) 18 days ago. This son of Zarak is likely to improve again and is very much one to consider.

Form: 32

Forecasts

Royal Acclamation (2/1), Hands To Yourself (9/4), Impasto (9/4), Game Character (7/1), Dancing Dunes (22/1), River Glen (50/1), Nicamoo (66/1)

A few of these bring potential but the vote goes to IMPASTO who shaped very well when a debut runner-up in a strong Ascot maiden (form working out well) and can go one better now. Both Hands To Yourself and Royal Acclamation also look to have better days ahead of them and can also have a say.
