Amazing News^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott

20/1

Nicely bred gelding whose dam was a winner on the AW over this trip; related to plenty of winners and certainly worth a check in the market pre-race.

Angelic Time³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: E F Vaughan

4/1

Eye-catching pedigree; very green on debut at Newmarket in October; will obviously improve on that outing and it will be interesting to see how much market support there is for this son of Dark Angel.

Form: 0

Borstal Bull³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: Phillip Makin

9/1

£37,000 yearling purchase; will have learned plenty from debut run at Doncaster in late October where ge looked to be getting the hang of things in the closing stages; interesting contender.

Form: 6

Emirates Currency²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox

11/10

Cost connections 65,000 gns at the sales; half-brother to classy sprinter Justineo; followed up promising debut at this track with better effort at Chelmsford early this month; one of the more likely winners.

Form: 52

Foreshore³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhona Pindar⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke

12/1

Glimpses of promise on both his starts to date at Newcastle and Southwell where he finished mid-division both times; open to improvement and any market moves would be interesting.

Form: 66

Lethal Shadow^t1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: M Botti

22/1

Lethal Force gelding. Dam, Italian 7f/1m winner, closely related to smart 5f/6f winner Choisir Shadow. Sports tongue-tie on first start.

Striking Approach⁹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: H & R Charlton

9/2

Given a gentle introduction at Newmarket in August when finishing mid-division over seven furlongs; expected to improve and no surprise to see this son of New Approach running a solid race.

Form: 4

The Weed Machine¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston

25/1

Unfancied and finished down the field on debut run over an extended six furlongs here earlier this month; should appreciate this step up in trip but unlikely to be good enough at this stage of his career.

Form: 8

Extra Shot

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Cameron Iles⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans

100/1

Cheaply bought, speedily-bred filly; hard to assess and market should be a very reliable guide to her chances.

Form:

Skirrid Mountain

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: P D Evans

80/1

Related to plenty of minor winners; may not be capable on her debut but worth a look to see how the market assesses her chances.

Forecasts

Emirates Currency (11/10), Vottoria Light (3/1), Angelic Time (4/1), Liberation Point (4/1), Striking Approach (9/2), Borstal Bull (9/1), Foreshore (12/1), Amazing News (20/1), Lethal Shadow (22/1), The Weed Machine (25/1), Skirrid Mountain (80/1), Extra Shot (100/1)

Much will depend on the readiness of the wonderfully bred colt VOTTORIA LIGHT. On breeding alone, he is head and shoulders above his rivals and strong market support would suggest connections think he is capable first time up. Another well-bred individual is Liberation Point and is another whose chances will be summed up in his starting price. Of those with racecourse experience, the best option could be Borstal Bull who was doing his best work in the closing stages of his latest run at Doncaster and should be fitter and stronger here.
