(4)

Concessions⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 88| D

33/1

Landed a 3-runner Chelmsford maiden (7f) on debut and similar form when second at listed level next time. Clearly not 100% at Sandown latest and not one to write off now handicapping.

Form: 127

(8)

Mayaas^p1²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas| OR: 87| BF

7/2

Dark Angel colt who has progressed with each start to date, finding only Ataser too good in a York nursery (7f) last month. No reason why he won't go well again now equipped with cheekpieces.

Form: 432

(2)

Ataser²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: T Kent| OR: 86| D

10/3

Promising sort who found further improvement to take career record to 2-4 at York (7f) last month, getting the better of Mayaas. Yet to run a bad race and that may not prove his limit.

Form: 4121

(6)

Gumdrop²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 84

7/1

Promise in 2 quick runs in novice company and well backed to make a winning nursery debut at Chester (6f) last time, well on top finish. Up 9 lb as a result but likely there is even better to come.

Form: 551

(1)

A Boy Named Ivy²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: A C Whillans| OR: 83| D

5/1

Left debut effort in his wake when landing 8-runner Ayr novice in July and he caught the eye from an unpromising position when second in a Haydock nursery (7f) last month. Interesting.

Form: 412

(3)

Party Game³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 78

14/1

Twilight Son colt who built on debut promise to score at Ayr (6f, heavy) last month, relishing the underfoot conditions. Open to further improvement now handicapping but this a whole lot tougher.

Form: 21

(7)

Al Watan⁶⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 78| BF

9/1

Dubawi colt who showed promise when second behind a comfortable winner on Newbury debut in June. Subsequent Chelmsford effort was disappointing but too soon to write him off. Handicap debut.

Form: 25

(9)

Power Station²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 77

10/1

Wiser for debut and he ran creditably when third in a Lingfield novice (7f, turf) last month and ran as well as could have been expected in valuable sales race at York latest. This more suitable.

Form: 639

(5)

Twilight Song¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: W Buick| T: Ian Williams| OR: 75

8/1

Twilight Son gelding who ran well at long odds when third on debut at Windsor (6f) and duly proved that no fluke when off the mark at Salisbury (6f) last month. Expected to stay 7f and more to come.

Form: 31

Forecasts

Ataser (10/3), Mayaas (7/2), A Boy Named Ivy (5/1), Gumdrop (7/1), Twilight Song (8/1), Al Watan (9/1), Power Station (10/1), Party Game (14/1), Concessions (33/1)

GUMDROP shaped with promise both starts in maiden/minor company and duly built on those efforts (well backed) to make a winning nursery debut in good style at Chester last month, quickening up in good style and well on top at the finish. The type to progress further, he gets the nod now tackling 7f. York-scorer Ataser is feared, along with A Boy Named Ivy and Mayaas.
