Coal Stock¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S J Drowne| T: P D Evans

40/1

Step up in trip made very little difference at Chepstow last time (7f, good), and has plenty to prove now on his third start up against some much more promising individuals.

Form: 70

(5)

Liva¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans

11/4

Didn't really improve for his first to second run, when he was a well-beaten third at Chepstow (6f, good). Step up in trip no concern, but he would certainly need to improve in order to win.

Form: 53

Sauchiehall Street⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Dane O'Neill| T: S Kirk

14/1

Looked very one-paced on debut at Wolverhampton last time out, and though he can come on from that he already seems to lack the potential to take on most of this field.

Form: 5

We Are The World²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson

4/6

Beaten 11L by September in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot and steps down markedly in class here. Ran well on debut prior to that when unlucky in-running and seems to be improving; the one to beat.

Form: 38

Jaffar^b,e/s²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: D C Costello| T: S Dixon| OR: 68

33/1

Has come up short in three maidens so far, including over this trip, but needs to find more in this company having not run to his best last time out.

Form: 754

American Ruby

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L P Keniry| T: C & M Johnston

11/1

Data Link filly who cost 23,000gns as a yearling. Half-sister to St Leger winner Arctic Cosmos, and so will probably appreciate further over time, even though the dam did win over sprint trips.

Show Of Force¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: K Shoemark| T: J G Portman

10/1

Took a step forward from her seventh on debut at Kempton to fill the same position, but closer to the winner (and in a better race), at Newbury last time out. Place claims if continuing that progression.

Form: 77

Forecasts

We Are The World (4/6), Liva (11/4), Boreagh Lass (11/2), Show Of Force (10/1), American Ruby (11/1), Sauchiehall Street (14/1), Jaffar (33/1), Coal Stock (40/1)

Given the step down in class WE ARE THE WORLD enjoys today, he should prove tough to beat if repeating, or improving on, the form of his seventh to September in the Chesham at Royal Ascot. That seemed to be a good quality race with an exciting winner, and having shaped with promise on his debut the selection can get off the mark at the third time of asking. Boreagh Lass ran very green on debut last month and should go closer if putting in a more professional performance while Liva should also be on the premises, while maybe not quite having enough about him to win.
