Albadri¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Tim Clark| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| D

9/1

100/1 but ready winner of 10-runner maiden at Windsor (6f, good to soft) on debut 14 days ago, showing good turn of foot. This is a big jump up in class but he has more to offer so no forlorn hope.

Form: 1

Bahrain Pride¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| D

4/1

9/2, made striking impression when debut scorer in 12-runner maiden (9/2) at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago, scything through pack and well on top at finish. Lot more to come so interesting.

Form: 1

(9)

Blowing Wind³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: M Dods| OR: 69

50/1

Has shown fair form when fourth in C&D maiden and novice at Hamilton (6f, soft) 30 days ago. Yard going very well but he needs a big step forward now though.

Form: 44

Internationaldream¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 97| CD

7/2

Posted good third in Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood before benefitting from return to 6f to land 4-runner conditions event over C&D (good to soft) 15 days ago. Fairly useful so firmly in the mix.

Form: 71331

(8)

Roman Dynasty¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: J Parr| OR: 97| D

10/3

Debut winner at Wolverhampton in August before (66/1) seemingly much improved when never-dangerous seventh of 9 in Gimcrack Stakes at York (6ft) 10 days ago. In the frame if able to back that run up.

Form: 17

(5)

Queen Of Rio^b⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A Keatley| OR: 91| C

9/2

Landed 5f maiden here on debut and right back on song in blinkers when runner-up in 5f York listed event. Form pick on that much improved run and should stay 6f so big player if headgear works again.

Form: 162

(2)

Terrichang¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Harrison Shaw| T: K R Burke

8/1

14/1, made promising start when second of 8 in novice at Chester (6.1f, good to soft) 11 days ago, running green under pressure. Open to good chunk of improvement so no back number here.

Form: 2

(3)

The Flying Ginger¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R Fell & S Murray| D

12/1

Backed at long odds and made winning debut in 6-runner novice at Chester (6.1f, good) 17 days ago, strong at finish. This is a big step up but sort to come on a fair bit so not ruled out.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Roman Dynasty (10/3), Internationaldream (7/2), Bahrain Pride (4/1), Queen Of Rio (9/2), Terrichang (8/1), Albadri (9/1), The Flying Ginger (12/1), Nastase (16/1), Blowing Wind (50/1)

An open-looking listed contest but there was a lot to like about the Windsor debut victory of BAHRAIN PRIDE so this son of Kodiac is strongly fancied to take the step up in class in his stride. Internationaldream is more exposed but a fairly useful C&D winner, so is sure to make his presence felt along with Queen Of Rio if she can reproduce her York listed form up in trip in second-time blinkers.
