Radical Bay¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Mrs A J Perrett

Silent Wisdom³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker

11/1

€200,000 yearling who just hinted at ability when eighth of 10 in maiden at Leicester (7f) on debut last month. Trainer's 2-y-os often take a step forward from their first run, though.

Form: 8

(5)

Smash Royale^h1³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Miss E C Lavelle

150/1

Has looked badly in need of the experience in his 2 starts, again failing to beat a rival in 9-runner novice at Kempton 5 weeks ago. Hood now reached for.

Form: 09

(10)

The Can Can Man³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies| T: W J Haggas

14/1

American-bred colt who showed a bit of promise first time up when sixth of 7 in novice at Redcar (7f) 5 weeks ago. In top hands and is entitled to do better with that experience behind him.

Form: 6

(2)

Walcourt¹¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Joe Leavy| T: J R Boyle

11/2

Showed some ability when seventh of 10 in novice at Sandown (7f) on debut in July. Should do better somewhere down the line, though he may be more one for handicaps.

Form: 7

(6)

Zulu Chieftain

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne

50/1

Foaled February 8. Sea The Moon gelding. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to useful 1m-1¼m winner Ciara Pearl. Yard 0-14 with 2-y-o debutants this season.

Boomshakalak⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: Zoe Hawkins

250/1

Bred to need time/distance and has offered little in a pair of maidens, finishing well held over this C&D on her second outing.

Form: 70

(3)

Lady Phillips¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett

8/15

Yard has had success with this useful family and she shaped best on debut when second of 7 in novice at Leicester 16 days ago, conceding first run to the winner. The one to beat with progress to come.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Lady Phillips (8/15), Walcourt (11/2), Buxted Flyer (8/1), Roos Racing Rocket (11/1), Silent Wisdom (11/1), The Can Can Man (14/1), Civilon (25/1), Zulu Chieftain (50/1), Radical Bay (66/1), Don't Tempt Harry (66/1), Smash Royale (150/1), Boomshakalak (250/1)

The opener can go the way of LADY PHILLIPS, who went like the best horse at the weights when going close at Leicester on debut. She looks to hold leading claims with the biggest threat possibly coming from a pair of the newcomers, Roos Racing Rocket the pick for second ahead of Buxted Flyer.
