Barend Boy^p1³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer| OR: 84

16/1

The form of his Lingfield win in July has taken several knocks since and subsequent two starts have been tame efforts. Yet to race beyond 6f and the step up to 1m here needs to bring about plenty of improvement.

Form: 365180

Riviera Nights¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: R Hannon| OR: 83

2/1

His third at Newmarket behind Jash is strong form and he became the fifth of the first six home that day to win since when making the most of a simple task at Brighton. Step up to 1m here looks sure to suit and looks a leading player.

Form: 331

Off Piste^h,t⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 83| CD

9/2

C&D win two starts ago on a sound surface but couldn't cope with the heavy ground at Ayr a week ago when finishing last. The return to better ground will help but also needs to learn to settle better.

Form: 4310

Balance Of Power⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 80

9/2

Followed Newcastle win with probably a better effort when just failing to overcome a high draw at Beverley subsequently. The third horse that day bolted up in a return to that venue this week to give the form a timely boost.

Form: 012

Flint Hill³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: M Dods| OR: 79

11/2

Overcame trouble in running to win at Carlisle on handicap debut last time and shaped as though the extra furlong here will be ideal. 5lb rise seems fair.

Form: 7241

Dark Thunder^p¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 77

5/1

Seven race maiden, his two attempts over 7f have probably been his best efforts to date. Now steps up to 1m for the first time and needs the extra distance to bring out the improvement needed to break his duck.

Form: 353206

Commander Solo³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 66

22/1

Drop down in trip at Carlisle last time was not in his favour but interesting now handicapping at a more suitable distance. His dam won at 1m as a juvenile and every chance he will leave his previous form behind. Stable took last year.

Form: 767

Forecasts

Riviera Nights (2/1), Balance Of Power (9/2), Off Piste (9/2), Dark Thunder (5/1), Flint Hill (11/2), Barend Boy (16/1), Commander Solo (22/1)

RIVIERA NIGHTS took advantage of a simple task at Brighton but his previous run at Newmarket suggested he should make his mark in handicaps and can follow up here. Commander Solo is interesting at this longer trip in receipt of plenty of weight from his opponents, while Balance Of Power had his form franked earlier in the week.
