7/2
Winner at Bath (5f, good-to-firm) in June .Blinkers worn that day retained since including when 2L fifth in a Listed race at Royal Ascot (5f, soft) later that month. Gelded since disappointing in Listed company at Tipperary subsequently.

11/1
Promising fifth in a 5f maiden at Bath (good) when debuting last month. Improvement likely and is worth a check in the market on this occasion.

100/1
Finished last on both starts so far including when beaten 23L over 6f at Brighton (good-to-firm) last time out. Others make more appeal.

Unraced Brazen Beau colt bought for £18,000 at the breeze-up sales in the spring. Had wind surgery earlier this year and market support would be notable on debut.

10/1
Ran well on first two starts including when 3¼L second in a 5f AW novice event at Wolverhampton early last month. Disappointed at Tipperary (5f, soft) subsequently and quicker ground forecast here a positive.

Unraced home-bred Requinto filly out of a mare who was successful five times over 6f. Probably best watched for a stable who are just 1/40 with their juveniles this year.

Placed on all four starts so far including when runner-up over 5f at Ripon (good) recently. Looks likely to put in a bold show once more.

17:20 Lingfield - 5 September 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

ILLUSIONIST sets the standard on form and he can double his career tally wtih a victory in this two-year-old novice stakes. The selection can see off his rivals here with Poets Dance who has been running consistently well in her career so far capable of finishing runner-up ahead of Cool Sphere who suffered a shock defeat last time out.
