Emirates Knight¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: R Varian

5/1

Dark Angel colt who cost 75,000 gns as a yearling. Did best of the newcomers when 7L fourth of 13 on recent Doncaster but has plenty to find with Solid Stone on that run although is open to progress.

Form: 4

(1)

Forest Of Dean¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden| BF

5/1

Slowly away and green on debut at Sandown in August. Well backed to step up on that at Doncaster last time and although running a bit better, was again a bit slow to break and only fourth of 12. Evidently thought capable of better.

Form: 84

(2)

Past Glories⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

25/1

Exceed And Excel colt who was a weak 6/1 chance on Leicester debut in September but too green and last of ten. Needs to leave that form well behind.

Form: 0

(3)

Solid Stone¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: Sir Michael Stoute| BF

2/7

Promise on Newbury debut in September and heavily backed to get off the mark at Doncaster recently but just edged out by an 82 rated rival. That form sets the standard and loos sure to be hard to beat.

Form: 42

(5)

Wearraah⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: A D Brown

100/1

Showed little when beating only one home at 66/1 on Redcar debut and will need a to make huge improvement to trouble the best of these.

Form: 0

Forecasts

Solid Stone (2/7), Forest Of Dean (5/1), Emirates Knight (5/1), Past Glories (25/1), Wearraah (100/1)

SOLID STONE let his odds on backers down at Doncaster but that still represented decent form and can make it third time lucky. Forest Of Dean and Emirates Knight are the logical dangers to make it a clean sweep for Newmarket stables.
