Arizona Glory¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: George Scott

20/1

Sent off a big price on Nottingham debut last month but showed little in rear throughout and will need to improve plenty now switching to the AW.

Form: 8

(2)

Cadeau d'Amour¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

10/1

No show on debut but ran much better when midfield at Nottingham on subsequent start and if showing further improvement again should figure.

Form: 06

(6)

Copal²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett

4/1

Strong in the market both starts to date and his latest effort at Kempton was a step forward. Both those runs were at 7f and certainly shapes as though this longer trip will bring about further improvement.

Form: 64

(8)

Great Bear

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton

8/1

Third foal, son of Dansili. Brother to a 1m winner and dam, who won the Irish Oaks, is a sister to the top class Nathaniel. Smart pedigree and interesting to see what the market makes of his chances.

Form:

(4)

Hadeer

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: M Botti

7/1

Son of Rock Of Gibraltar. Dam a winning sprinter and related to winners from 6f to 1m4f. Worth monitoring in the betting.

Form:

(3)

Madeeh^t1

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

9/2

Oasis Dream newcomer, second foal and half-brother to a 1m winner. Dam ran twice in France. From a top yard who are 13-77 with juveniles this term. Tongue tied for debut.

Form:

(5)

Maktay

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁵⁾| T: D G Bridgwater

33/1

8,500 gns Makfi newcomer who is a half-brother to winners from 1m1f to 1m4f. Dam won at 1m2f but stable not associated with juveniles winning first time out.

Form:

(1)

So High

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

2/1

Third foal, son of Nathaniel. Dam won a Grade 3 in the States and this one makes plenty of appeal on paper as half-brother to the classy Utmost who won on debut and landed a 1m3f Grade 2 in America this summer.

Form:

(9)

State Of Affair²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker

14/1

Giant's Causeway son who wasn't knocked about on recent debut at Newbury but showed a touch of promise. Plenty of stable's newcomers improve markedly for experience.

Form: 0

Forecasts

So High (2/1), Copal (4/1), Madeeh (9/2), Hadeer (7/1), Great Bear (8/1), Cadeau d'Amour (10/1), State Of Affair (14/1), Arizona Glory (20/1), Maktay (33/1)

Those with experience don't set that high a standard and SO HIGH is a fascinating newcomer from a top stable who have been known to unleash smart types on the AW. In a race where the market will provide plenty of clues Great Bear is of interest and Copal looks best of those already to have made the track.
