Selected odds by:
Stepped forward on his debut run when third at Epsom last time out stepping up to 7f when racing wider than ideal and may be in a position to improve again here.
Shown very little so far in two starts over 6f and finished well held on both of them and looks as though he'll be better in nurseries when the time comes.
Two-year-olds from this yard often improve a great deal on their second run and this one could be another one. Should be a lot sharper for the run and not knocked around and better is expected here from a good draw.
Cost €30,000 as a yearling and a half-brother to a French 1m3f+ winner with the dam a French 1m3f winner who is well related. May well be best watched here and given his breeding probably needs further.
Half-brother to three winners who cost 16,000 as a yearling including the mile winner Pas Mure and the winner up to 1m5f Special Gold. Dan was a 1m4f winner and his pedigree suggests that he'll be better over further.
Price rose to £20,000 as a yearling and the first foal of a lightly-raced half-sister to smart winner at up to 7f Mehronissa. Tongue-tie goes on for debut and yard have had two-year-old winners this year.
Proved a very different proposition from her debut over 6f when winning over the same trip at Salisbury with the firmer surface looking to suit. The extra furlong shouldn't be a problem here but the wide draw might just cause a few problems under a penalty.
Yard have had just one juvenile winner in the last five years and he was never involved on his debut looking very green and more runs look to be needed.
Stable have had a couple of two-year-old winners (none this season) and he did show some ability on his debut on his debut over 7f on the AW without looking a ready-made winner.
Has shown up well on his two runs so far (needed the run on his debut) over 6f at Windsor. Beaten favourite last time out over 6f at Salisbury but confirmed his debut promise and looks to be suited by 7f and could well put his experience to good use.
Just the one run so far at Pontefract (drawn wide) and that was an encouraging start faring best of the first time starters and looking as though further would suit. Will be suited by 7f and although the form of her debut doesn't look the strongest she should take a hand here.
Best run so far came on her debut at Bath over 5f on quick ground and she's hardly built on that so far although she was outclassed last time out in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot. Still has plenty to find on form and this trip isn't sure to suit.
Well held in a pair of minor events over 5f and 6f having started at big prices and would be a surprise winner here.
Forecasts
Dance To Paris (3/1), Groundnut (4/1), Macaque (5/1), Cheeky Rascal (11/2), Simply Breathless (8/1), Finsbury Park (10/1), Guvenor's Choice (16/1), Go Bananas (16/1), Great Vizier (25/1), Secratario (33/1), Champs Inblue (50/1), Jazz Affair (66/1), Amiirah (150/1)
There look to be quite a few options here with Cheeky Rascal one of the improvers stepping up to 7f for the first time. Simply Breathless has a decision over already over GROUNDNUT but that could well be reversed now with the weights looking to favour the latter. Dance To Paris is another that should be watched in the betting having run well on her debut while Macaque comes from a stable that have plenty of improvers on their second starts as juveniles.
- Groundnut
- Dance To Paris
- Cheeky Rascal
