7/1

Won 12-runner maiden (5/2) at Leopardstown (7f, good) on debut 14 days ago, driven clear. Bengal Tiger has to be considered his top yard's first string but this son of Wootton Bassett has the potential for plenty of improvement.

Bengal Tiger^p⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 107

6/4

Highly progressive sort who impressed when pulling 3½ lengths clear in 6f Doncaster listed race (heavy) last Saturday. Likely to stay 7f and the one to beat with further progress likely.

Form: 0211

City Of Gold^b¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Gavin Ryan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 97

33/1

Runner-up twice in maidens prior to producing a useful effort to make a successful nursery debut at Leopardstown (8.5f, good) 14 days ago. Won't need to advance his form much more to be very competitive at this level.

Form: 5221

Flying Pirate^p⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 91| D

25/1

Useful effort when making it 2 from 3 in novices with a wide-margin defeat of 6 rivals over 7f at Haydock (good to soft) in first-time cheekpieces last month. Creditable fourth of 9 in useful conditions race at Newbury (1m, good to firm) since. Talented but not entirely straightforward.

Form: 1314

Golden Souk³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| D

20/1

11/8, won 7-runner novice at Redcar (7f, good to soft) on debut 38 days ago. That form is nothing special but interesting that powerful stable is prepared to pitch him in a Group race second time up.

Green Sovereign⁶³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 95

100/1

Scored easily in a 6f Pontefract maiden in May but his limitations have seemingly been exposed at listed/Group level since.

Form: 51874

Jassas²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Planas| T: C Appleby| OR: 106| D

11/1

Dubawi colt who has won 7f novices at Doncaster (good to firm) and Haydock (soft). Only beaten 4½ lengths when last of 5 to Darkness Falls in Dewhurst over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago so that was a very useful effort. Bang there with a repeat of that form.

Form: 1515

(14)

Kicking Bear²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| CD

15/2

Sioux Nation colt who built on a promising Newbury debut with a defeat of a useful sort in a small-field C&D maiden (good to firm) 4 weeks ago. Definitely more to come.

Form: 21

(13)

Mezzo Forte³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Davies| T: W J Haggas| OR: 97| BF| D

28/1

Wootton Bassett colt who left debut behind to win a 7f York maiden 10 weeks later. Took another step forward when 1¾ lengths third of 8 to Fuel The Jet in Group 3 Somerville Tattersall over C&D (good to firm) since. Open to further improvement.

Form: 513

(2)

Midgham Man²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: B R Millman| OR: 93| CD

16/1

Progressive type who produced a useful performance to blow apart a C&D nursery (good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Well worth his place in this higher grade on the back of that.

Form: 54131

(15)

Nakila Sun²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 90| D

18/1

1m Windsor novice winner on good to firm who took a considerable step forward to follow up in a valuable contest at York (7f, soft) 22 days ago. Likely to progress again.

Form: 6211

San Jose⁵⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: B J Meehan| D

25/1

Confirmed Newbury debut promise when a ready winner of a 7f Ascot maiden (good) 8 weeks ago. Useful prospect.

Form: 41

Theheatison¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Nick Scholfield| OR: 90

150/1

Novice winner at Bath in July. Better form in defeat but his limit is seemingly well established and it's unlikely he'll be up to the task here.

Form: 325235

Twelve Bars²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: H Palmer| OR: 87| D

22/1

Promising Space Blues colt who was second on his C&D debut before going one better at Kempton (7f again) 12 days later. Yet another in this line-up who has his best days ahead of him.

Form: 21

Lex Victoria^t²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Simon Crisford| OR: 102| D

4/1

Seven-figure Breeze Up purchase who won newcomers race on July Course here and novice at Kempton (both 7f) on her first 2 outings. Good 4½ lengths fourth to Musical Times in Fillies' Mile here (good to firm) 3 weeks ago, despite not looking entirely at ease on the course (hung). Capable of better.

Form: 114

Forecasts

Bengal Tiger (6/4), Lex Victoria (4/1), Accumulation (7/1), Kicking Bear (15/2), Jassas (11/1), Midgham Man (16/1), Nakila Sun (18/1), Golden Souk (20/1), Twelve Bars (22/1), Flying Pirate (25/1), San Jose (25/1), Mezzo Forte (28/1), City Of Gold (33/1), Green Sovereign (100/1), Theheatison (150/1)

Aidan O'Brien can strengthen his grip on the trainers' championship courtesy of BENGAL TIGER, who impressed in listed company at Doncaster last weekend. Lex Victoria and Jassas were both beaten only 4½ lengths in Group 1s here earlier in the month and rate the chief form threats in a Group 3 containing several likely improvers.
