Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 81

5/4

Shaped encouragingly on debut at Newcastle last month and improved significantly on that when close second of 13 in maiden at this course (7f, 14/1) 18 days ago. The one to beat.

Form: 32

Golden Eagle⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Callan| T: G Boughey

12/1

No real impact in a couple of minor events this summer and looks one for the longer term. Gelded since last run.

Form: 06

Haldon Fire

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding

12/1

Foaled February 27. Gleneagles colt. Brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Secret Solace and half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 10.2f Secret Satire. Market check advised on debut.

(9)

Jebayli

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies| T: Simon Crisford

15/2

Foaled April 15. Frankel colt. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner), sister to high-class 7f-1¼m winner Benbatl and very smart winner up to 1¼m Sallaal. Warrants respect on debut.

(2)

Kings Medal

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

10/3

Foaled April 30. Dubawi colt. Closely related to useful winner up to 1¼m Symbol of Majesty, and half-brother to 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Commissioning. Must be of interest on racecourse bow.

Oldbullyoungbull¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: A King

10/1

Promising start amidst greenness when fourth of 9 at Leicester (7f) on debut last month. Not in same form at Kempton more recently but can't be ruled out here.

Form: 46

(3)

Saxon Law

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara

16/1

Foaled March 9. €52,000 yearling, Saxon Warrior colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 1½m winner What's Your Game and 1m winner Chrysos. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

(8)

Stellar Max¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

40/1

Yet to beat a rival home in a couple of outings this autumn and is likely one for handicaps down the line given connections.

Form: 07

(7)

Yellow Vision³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Taylor Fisher| T: W J Knight

50/1

Hinted at ability on Lingfield debut in August and still looked in need of the experience when sixth of 9 in maiden over C&D (100/1) 32 days ago. Up against it.

Form: 46

Forecasts

Geometry (11/8), Kings Medal (9/4), Jebayli (8/1), Haldon Fire (10/1), Champagne Poetry (12/1), Oldbullyoungbull (12/1), Saxon Law (14/1), Golden Eagle (33/1), Yellow Vision (50/1), Stellar Max (100/1)

This can go to GEOMETRY, who only narrowly failed to open his account here earlier this month and remains with potential. The main threat may be provided by one of the newcomers, with Kings Medal and Champagne Poetry particularly of interest.
