Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Fran Berry| T: H Spiller

16/1

16,000 gns foal; €25,000 yearling; 5,000 gns at two. Dam placed over 1m2f/1m3½f out of maiden half-sister to 1m4f Group 1 winner Daliapour and 2m Group 3 winner Dalampour. Stable 0-11 with AW juveniles this term, so probably one to watch.

12/1

6,000 gns foal who sold for £7,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to winners Jawaayiz (7½f/1m2f) and Brown Velvet (5½f-1m2f at two) out of unplaced half-sister to 1m2f-1m6f winner Excellent Result. Probably one to watch on debut.

Ideal Candy¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: S H James| T: K Tutty| OR: 67

10/3

Has twice run well over this trip on Newcastle's Tapeta, though was not as effective over 1m there last time. Drop in trip should therefore help her return to better form, provided she handles this track. Inside draw to master too, but has claims.

Golden Image¹⁰⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J G Portman| BF

5/2

Made nice debut at Salisbury (7f) in August, when beaten just 2L, though beaten favourite on only other start when she may not have handled slower ground. This looks well worth a try and if in same mood as her debut then she is short-list material.

Racehorse⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison

4/1

Sent off at 12-1 and ran green on her Chelmsford debut (7f), so did well to finish 2½L fourth of nine. Should come on a fair bit for that experience, is well drawn and couldn't rule her out from being stable's first AW juvenile winner this season.

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: T Eaves| T: B Smart

10/1

Finished 2L behind the more experienced Ideal Candy at Newcastle (7f) on her debut last month when 33-1. Ran green there and rider also reported a lack of ran when trying to make an effort, so could do a fair bit better today.

Forecasts

Golden Image (5/2), Strawberryandcream (5/2), Ideal Candy (10/3), Racehorse (4/1), Culture Shock (11/2), Whererainbowsend (10/1), Unveiling (12/1), Dillie Dallie (16/1), Herringswell (20/1)

Culture Shock is likely to be able to make an impact on her debut, but RACEHORSE already has the benefit of a run and can come on for that Chelmsford debut and take this from a good draw. Whererainbowsend cannot be ruled out after a decent debut at Newcastle herself, while Ideal Candy can be thereabouts back over this trip and both Golden Image and Strawberryandcream are others with claims.
