€26,000 yearling; second foal; half-brother to the Italian 6f juvenile winner Camayork. totally outran his 150-1 price when a good third on debut at Beverley, running on well late. Likely to improve and not ruled out of an open little race.
Solid debut at Pontefract in June but didn't build on that when weakening out of things at Beverley a week after. Possible that came a bit quick but needs to get back on track to hold best chance here.
Dutch Art gelding, third foal, £30,000 yearling; plenty of speed in the pedigree and bred to be sharp. No more than a satisfactory debut here last month but looked in need of the experience and may do better today.
2,000gns foal, price rising to €13,000 as a yearling. Pedigree suggests we might not see the best of him until tackling a lot further, and he may be best watched on debut.
Bred to be a sharp sort (by July Cup winner Mayson) and he had clearly learnt plenty from a modest debut when improving to finish a ½l second at Thirsk latest, battling on well. That sets the standard here and a repeat surely take him close.
Equiano filly. Dam was a winner and Listed-placed over 1m. Half-sister to useful handicapper Rufus King (1m) and she made a good debut when third at Ripon, first two looking usful sorts. Should improve and can play a part in the finish.
Due Diligence filly, has had both starts here and almost made it home in front on latest start, just caught in the final strides after looking the winner. Might need a bit more improvement but gets a useful bit of weight and should be thereabouts.
Forecasts
Source Of Wealth (11/10), Tatsthewaytodoit (3/1), Madreselva (13/2), Acklam Express (7/1), Two Cop Bop (11/1), Harswell Prince (33/1), Mucky Bubbles (50/1)
Only the seven runners but most of them are open to improvement. TATSTHEWAYTODOIT ran well on his latest start at Thirsk, having clearly come forward plenty from a modest debut, and looks the most likely winner. Source Of Wealth looks the biggest danger, having already had track experience and a repeat of her latest effort takes her close. Acklam Express and Medreseiva can fight it out for third.
