Selected odds by:
Son of Dandy Man out of a stoutly-bred mare, off the mark at the second attempt in eight-runner 6f contest at Hamilton. Carries a penalty and this appears tougher.
Equiano gelding cost 13,000 gns as a foal, resold for 3,500 gns as a two-year-old. Dam once-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 6f Leap For Joy. Market may reveal more on debut.
Much better last time when having plenty of use made of him at Doncaster. Was going best of all 2f out but failed to stay. Drop to this trip looks ideal.
A £60,000 yearling, Bated Breath colt whose dam winner up to 1m2f and scored over 7f as a juvenile. Notable newcomer representing top connections.
Cost 200,000 gns as a foal and has a very likeable pedigree; brother to a useful 7f winner in Misterioso. Runner-up over 7f on AW at Kempton on debut in April, likely to go close having undergone wind surgery since.
A $210,000 yearling, the Elusive Quality gelding is a brother to 6f winner The Amber Fort. Dam out of US Grade 3 7f winner Harpia. Things have gone a little quiet for the yard after blistering early summer, but noted newcomer.
Easily beaten in pair of outings at Doncaster and Thirsk so far, looks to have forlorn chance in this field.
Forecasts
Major Partnership (4/7), Good Effort (4/1), Manhunter (5/1), Jurran (14/1), Brexit Time (16/1), Howzitgoinmate (50/1), Pam's Angel (80/1)
MAJOR PARTNERSHIP is entitled to plenty respect after a pleasing start (second) at Kempton on the AW in April. He's undergone wind surgery since and sets the standard for the others to take aim at here. Any improvement will surely make him hard to hold. Brexit Time scored at Hamilton recently and is also in the mix, though he must concede a penalty. Good Effort should go well down in trip while newcomers Manhunter and Jurran are of note.
