Archie Mckellar¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett| D

10/1

Promise on first two starts before getting off the mark in good style at Kempton. This is much tougher, but he is progressive and can be competitive.

Form: 331

Dream Today¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 107| D

5/1

Well behind Mythical Magic at Doncaster, but was much better when finishing second in a Group 3 contest at Newmarket last time. Has fair claims, but may prefer a sounder surface.

Form: 152

Mythical Magic²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| D

2/1

Won on his first two starts before finishing a close third in the Group 2 Champagne Stakes at Doncaster. May have found 1m too far at Chantilly last time and looks a leading contender back to 7f on ground he handles.

Form: 1135

Nebo¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L Dettori| T: C Hills| OR: 108| C

4/1

Won on his debut at this track, but has been beaten six times since. Finished third in the Mill Reef Stakes at this course two starts ago and showed he had the stamina for this trip when runner-up in a Group 2 contest at Newmarket in July.

Tangled³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 106| D

15/2

Dual winner who was not disgraced when third to a well-regarded sort at Newmarket last time. General level of form suggests he may be fighting it out for minor honours.

Form: 241193

Vintager⁵⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: D Menuisier| D

7/2

Produced a 33-1 shock when winning a Newmarket maiden on debut, but was a well-held fifth in the Solario Stakes at Sandown on his latest outing. Still early days for him and his victory came on soft ground.

Forecasts

Mythical Magic (2/1), Vintager (7/2), Nebo (4/1), Dream Today (5/1), Tangled (15/2), Archie Mckellar (10/1), Alba Power (12/1)

Nebo has shown a marked liking for this course and looks sure to be thereabouts, but marginal preference is for MYTHICAL MAGIC, who ran out of stamina over a mile in a Group 1 race on Arc day at Chantilly and should be happier in this easier race and back in distance. Dream Today has claims despite the suspicion he is better on a sound surface, while Tangled has been running well in good contests and should get involved.
