Milldean Felix^v1⁵⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L P Keniry| T: J & S Best

125/1

Well held at big prices in three starts so far and probably best watching having been beaten 37L over 7f last time.

Form: 079

(10)

Misty Boy^p1³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: N Mackay| T: A West

100/1

Beaten a total of 54L in two starts so far. Step up to 7f no help when finishing last of eight at Epsom (good-to-firm) a month ago. Cheekpieces tried for the first time.

Form: 98

Never Do Nothing

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding

7/1

Unraced son of Casamento purchased for €9,000 as a yearling last September. Half-brother to a multiple placer in Free Ranger and market support would be interesting on debut.

Form:

(3)

Queen's Soldier

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

5/1

Unraced Soldier Hollow colt cost €19,000 at the sales last autumn. Bred to appreciate further in time and looks the stable pick on first racecourse appearance.

(6)

The Man Of Mode

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater

33/1

Unraced Society Rock gelding and a half-brother to a couple of winners. Bred to be a sprinter and others make more appeal.

Form:

Willkommen

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: M Botti

14/1

Unraced Epaulette colt bought cheaply for 4,000 gns by his trainer. Market support would be interesting on his racecourse debut.

Accredited

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: D Flood

25/1

Unraced daughter of Archipenko out of a half-sister to dual middle-distance winner Seafarer. Worth a check in the market on debut.

Ballet Red^h⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: H Crouch| T: H J L Dunlop

2/1

Narrowly beaten in a 7f novice contest here on debut in June. Slightly disappointing subsequently but a repeat of that debut effort should see her play a leading role.

Form: 24

Maria Magdalena

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: A Fresu| T: M Botti

8/1

Unraced Battle Of Marengo filly bought for £10,000 at the breeze-up sales in April. Half-sister to a multiple winning sprinter and interesting to see how she fares on debut.

Form:

(11)

Meringue

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson

5/2

Unraced daughter of Battle Of Marengo cost €20,000 at the sales in September. Half-sister to three winners and one to note on debut.

Penfriend²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Blanshard

100/1

Shaped as if in need of the experience when last of nine in a 7f contest at Lingfield when making her debut last month. Much more needed on all-weather debut.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Ballet Red (2/1), Meringue (5/2), Queen's Soldier (5/1), Never Do Nothing (7/1), Maria Magdalena (8/1), Willkommen (14/1), Accredited (25/1), The Man Of Mode (33/1), Penfriend (100/1), Misty Boy (100/1), Milldean Felix (125/1)

A repeat of her debut effort here can see BALLET RED break her maiden at the third time of asking in this novice contest. The selection was narrowly beaten that day and can take this at the chief expense of Meringue who represents a good yard and is related to a number of winners. Third place can go the way of Queen's Soldier who looks the pick of his trainers pair in this contest.
