Selected odds by:
Won with plenty in hand on debut at Lingfield and collared in the last stride in a novice auction at Kempton next time. Took another step forward making all at Salisbury and is interesting on handicap debut.
Tough filly who hasn't finished outside the first three in six starts and comfortably made all at Chelmsford for a third win. Faces more competition for the lead but not on a bad mark on handicap debut.
Dansili half-brother to Nell Gwyn winner Soliloquy. Promising third to Advertise on debut and improved when winning at Wolverhampton but patchy form since and first run since being gelded.
Bolted up on debut at Bath in May but hasn't improved on that in four starts since. Has the ability to be involved again at this level but others may be more progressive.
Impressive on debut and while he found the Coventry too tough at Royal Ascot, he wasn't beaten far at Windsor. Not seen since July and probably needs to find improvement off this mark on handicap debut.
Cost £190,000 as a yearling and has taken big steps forward in three starts so far. If progress continues looks on a favourable mark on handicap debut and rates a major player.
Won over this trip at Ascot on debut but hasn't reached same level over 7f since. Drop back in trip very much to his favour and still open to progress but this requires plenty more on handicap debut.
Sole win came on AW at Kempton but has been highly tried since including a fourth in a valuable sales race last start. Others more open to progress but no surprise to see him competitive again.
Improved nicely in each of his first three starts culminating in a Newbury maiden success. No disgrace running into a potentially high-class type at Goodwood and very interesting off this mark on handicap debut.
Ran well from a poor draw in a valuable race at Newmarket and then posted a career-best to gain a second career win on the AW. This may prove tougher under much different conditions.
Showed improved form to get off the mark over this trip in a valuable race at Chelmsford before a decent run at Brighton while looking unsuited by the 7f. Can be involved in an open race.
Proved to be an early type in winning his first two starts including the Brocklesby but has become increasingly disappointing since and remains one to oppose.
Eight-race maiden who would have to be considered on second in first-time hood two starts back, however headgear failed to have same effect last time and others preferred.
Maiden following five starts and well held in two handicap runs so far. Needs to find improvement, particularly from out of the handicap.
Forecasts
Sir Busker (3/1), Naughty Rascal (5/1), Luxor (7/1), K Club (7/1), Lihou (7/1), Pirate (8/1), Boa Nova (14/1), Burj (16/1), Tinto (16/1), Izzer (18/1), Nayslayer (20/1), Production (20/1), More Than Likely (20/1), Oona (66/1)
A very open looking nursery where the handicap debutantes may hold the key. Naughty Rascal is one of those who is heading very much in the right direction but will face competition for the lead from More Than Likely, who likewise should be competitive. The vast improvement Luxor has made each start makes him a leading player while Nayslayer shouldn't be discounted. SIR BUSKER was a well beaten second last time but that was behind a very smart looking colt in a quick time and could be well handicapped.
- Sir Busker
- Luxor
- Naughty Rascal
