Al Asef

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti

6/1

Kyllachy colt who cost €90,000 in the breeze-up sales in May and whose dam is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Krypton Factor. Plenty of appeal on breeding and one to note in the betting market.

Form:

(12)

Cocktail

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

33/1

Dream Ahead colt who fetched €50,000 as a foal and is from the family of star miler Canford Cliffs. Makes some appeal on paper and stable is having a decent season with its juveniles.

Form:

(2)

Flere Imsaho²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe

25/1

Improved on ordinary debut when a respectable third of nine at Chester. Qualifies for nurseries after this and that looks his best option.

Form: 03

(11)

I Know How

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Joe Doyle| T: Miss J A Camacho

66/1

Gelded son of Australian sire Epaulette who cost £12,000 as a two-year-old and is a half-brother to six winners from 5f to 1m4f. Likely to need the experience on debut.

Form:

(4)

Knighted³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan

3/1

Cost €45,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to a 7f juvenile winner. Well backed and very much caught the eye when second on debut at Haydock (winner has won again since) and should be much sharper this time.

Form: 2

(5)

My Rock^t1⁵⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: David Dennis

100/1

Rock Of Gibraltar gelding who cost €27,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to a winner over 7f. Needed the run when last of seven on debut at Chepstow and needs to step up in a first-time tongue tie.

Form: 7

(8)

Royal Prospect

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: Miss J A Camacho

66/1

Gelded son of former top-class two-year-old Thewayyouare who was bought for €10,500 as a foal and is a half-brother to two winners over sprint distances. Makes his debut and is probably best watched.

Form:

(9)

Wafeer²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Hannon| OR: 78| BF

3/1

Gradually getting the hang of things and ran well last time when second of 12 at Sandown over 5f, shaping as though this trip would be ideal. Looks a player for leading connections.

Form: 542

(6)

Alwasmiya²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: S & E Crisford| BF

11/4

Daughter of Kyllachy who cost €110,000 earlier this year. Favourite, but almost certainly needed the run when fourth of 13 on debut at Newcastle last month. Should be much wiser this time and is likely to be thereabouts.

Form: 4

(3)

Kylie Style²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Adam Beschizza| T: Steph Hollinshead

100/1

Only limited promise in two runs so far. Likely to be more effective in nurseries and qualifies for a handicap mark after this.

Form: 97

(10)

Ocala

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

10/1

Daughter of Nathaniel who is from a successful family. One to note on debut if the market speaks in her favour.

Form:

Forecasts

Alwasmiya (11/4), Wafeer (3/1), Knighted (3/1), Al Asef (6/1), Ocala (10/1), Flere Imsaho (25/1), Blue Whisper (25/1), Cocktail (33/1), Royal Prospect (66/1), I Know How (66/1), Kylie Style (100/1), My Rock (100/1)

Some interesting newcomers in this headed by Al Asef and Ocala. Alwasmiya should improve a lot for her debut run and Wafeer sets a reasonable standard, but KNIGHTED looked a surefire future winner when running well behind a progressive sort on debut and may be good enough to win at the second time of asking.
