Cool Sphere³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 81| D

4/9

Has been highly tried on occasions (ran in Group races at Royal Ascot and Goodwood) and deservedly got off the mark when making all by 6L in weak Lingfield maiden on Tuesday. This demands more but very speedy and this track should suit.

Form:

Too Hard To Hold¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Vincent C Y Ho| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 70| D

8/1

Off the mark at the fifth attempt when landing Musselburgh nursery earlier in the month off a mark of 62. This demands more but making progress with each run and shouldn't be underestimated.

Form:

Instantly¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: G Mosse| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 69

8/1

Has had three quick runs on turf and the best of them was when 4L second of 10 behind highly regarded newcomer at Thirsk on latest. Entitled to improve again if taking to this surface.

Order Of Merritt⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott

33/1

33/1 on recent Yarmouth when taking strong hold and last of seven. Looks one of yards handicap projects on that evidence and only of interest if market speaks in his favour.

Form:

Surrajah⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: Tom Clover

33/1

Has shown very little in two starts at big prices having beaten just one rival to date. Qualifies for low grade nurseries after this.

Form:

Reassure²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas

5/1

5/1 shot for Sandown debut last month at this trip but badly in need of the experience and beaten 14L when eighth of 10. Should do better in time though needs to improve quickly against opponents with with plenty of speed.

Forecasts

Cool Sphere (4/9), Reassure (5/1), Too Hard To Hold (8/1), Instantly (8/1), Surrajah (33/1), Order Of Merritt (33/1)

COOL SPHERE would have take nothing out of himself with his all the way win in a weak Lingfield contest on Tuesday and he can follow up quickly by making all here. Instantly bumped into a smart sort last time and looks the chief threat with Too Hard To Hold set for minor honours.
