Big Brave Bob¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

6/1

Son of Big Bad Bob and a half-brother to three-time winner Papa Luigi, ran green and still managed to bag second over 5f at Windsor on debut 19 days ago. Up in trip and fair claims if learning from that outing.

Form: 2

(4)

Cocktail³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

50/1

Sent off a big price and well beaten when debuting over this trip at Nottingham (good to soft) last month and likely to find this tough going again.

Form: 9

(2)

Monadee

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

12/1

Showcasing gelding cost 120,000 gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to three winners over longer trips. Trainer had a decent crop of juveniles (14-118) and worth paying attention to this newcomer.

Ornamental⁸⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: H Candy

6/1

Iffraaj colt out of Tulipe Rose. He fetched 87,000 gns earlier this year (€38,000 foal) and is a half-brother to a couple of winners in France. Should improve on Salisbury debut (6f, good to firm) in August when finishing 8¼L fifth of 10.

Form: 5

(8)

The British Lion

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston

6/1

Power colt cost €155,000 as a yearling, is a half-brother to multiple smart winners, all over this sort of trip, and should give a good account of himself on debut for in-form yard.

(6)

Gilded Hour²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M Beckett

5/2

Bated Breath filly who cost £40,000 earlier this year and is a half-sister to three winners at around 7f and 1m. Solid start over this trip on AW at Kempton when just touched off close home and rates a player now on turf bow.

Form: 2

(3)

Poppy Line¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw

40/1

Filly was slowly away and never really any sort of threat in last month's debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) having been sent off a 40/1 poke. Remains best watched here.

Form: 5

(10)

Scenic River¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby

12/1

Dutch Art filly produced much the best of her efforts last time at Redcar (6f, soft) 12 days ago to be close second of 14. This is tougher and suggestion still lingers that she'll do best once sent handicapping.

Form: 862

(7)

Tallow¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas

10/3

A 100,000 yearling by Kodiac, half-sister to three winners including 7f Group 2 winner Lahaleeb. Yard's juveniles have been excellent and nothing wrong with debut fifth at Redcar (Scenic River second). Improvement needed.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Gilded Hour (5/2), Tallow (10/3), Ornamental (6/1), Big Brave Bob (6/1), The British Lion (6/1), Scenic River (12/1), Monadee (12/1), Iron Sky (12/1), Poppy Line (40/1), Cocktail (50/1)

Gilded Hour made an impressive start on Kempton's AW recently and should be in the firing line once more, assuming the daughter of Bated Breath handles this likely easier surface. Newcomers Monadee and The British Lion are to be noted in the betting while both Scenic River (second) and Tallow (fifth) could improve on their recent Redcar efforts but if BIG BRAVE BOB has learned from his Windsor debut he may be a tough nut to crack now. He looked in need of the experience there over 5f but was getting the hang of things in the end, this longer trip should suit and he has definite potential in this line-up having handled soft ground already.
