Ahmadi42
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett
€110,000 yearling, St Mark's Basilica colt who went backwards from debut despite his pedigree when seventh of 9 in novice at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) 6 weeks ago. Needs to leave that well behind returned to all-weather.

Churchill gelding who offered little when last of 6 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) on debut back in July. Likely to flourish at a later stage.

Teofilo gelding who didn't show a great deal when ninth of 12 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good to soft) on debut 2 weeks ago. Looks one for handicaps later on.

Grove Street27
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: B J Meehan| OR:  89
Fairly useful form when runner-up at Sandown and Chepstow (both 7f, good) in recent months and matched that form upped in grade when fifth of 9 in conditions stakes at Newbury (1m, good to firm) last month. That sets the standard returned to maiden company.

Heno24
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: T Ward
Starspangledbanner colt who did well considering he was among the runners more obviously in need of the experience when third of 10 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on debut last month. Should improve with that under his belt.

Lucky Vega colt who offered something to work on when fourth of 10 in novice at Kempton (6f) on debut just over a fortnight ago. Significantly up in trip and entitled to do better.

Unfancied in the betting and didn't show much when last of 7 in 7f novice at Newcastle on debut just under 6 weeks ago. Significantly more required from this Invincible Spirit colt.

Forecasts

Grove Street (5/2), King Ida (4/1), Forged Ahead (9/2), Noble Archer (6/1), Heno (7/1), Ahmadi (8/1), Till Then (10/1), Wadacre Gabriel (33/1), Close Circle (50/1), Chertsey (66/1)

Verdict

GROVE STREET sets a fairly useful standard to aim at so, provided he takes to all-weather, Brian Meehan's colt could be a tough nut to crack returned to calmer waters. He gets the vote over Heno, who showed promise amidst greenness when third in a Leicester maiden last month and is entitled to improve. King Ida and Forged Ahead both look newcomers to note and market support for either may well prove significant.
