Arceus¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: M Appleby

Twice-raced colt. Third on 5f course debut but not in anything like the same form when down the field at Wolverhampton 3 weeks later.

Form: 30

(8)

Burscough²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

3/1

30,000 gns Fast Company colt. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Dark Rose Angel. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to smart 5f-7f winner Rose Bonheur. Newcomer from top yard.

Horace Greasley

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Robinson| T: Ollie Pears

28/1

Some paper appeal, being a half-brother to smart 5.5f/6f winner Gold Vibe and useful 1m-1¼m winner Mooltazem but he cost only £7,500 at breeze-ups.

Form:

(3)

Marve

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G Lee| T: L A Mullaney

Foaled February 3. Twilight Son gelding. Dam 1¼m winner. Watching brief advised on debut.

16/1

£21,000 Due Diligence gelding. Dam, 5f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Byzantium. Betting should guide on debut.

So Dubai^t¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

28/1

28/1 and tongue strap on, eleventh of 13 in novice at Thirsk (7f, good) on debut 10 days ago. Will need to leave that well behind.

Strike Red¹⁰²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78

7/4

Promise when fourth on 5f Newcastle debut in June. Last of 5 at Doncaster 12 days later but that wasn't too bad a race and he's been given time since. Returns in a winnable contest.

Form: 45

(10)

Tommytwohoots

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

16/1

Bated Breath colt. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner (stayed 6f), closely related to smart winner up to 7f Adaay. Would come into it if the betting speaks in his favour.

Form:

Non-Runners

Incorrigible¹⁷

Weight: 9-0| Age: 2

T: R Hannon J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Strike Red (7/4), Dark Company (3/1), Incorrigible (3/1), Burscough (5/1), Arceus (5/1), My Name's Nipper (16/1), Tommytwohoots (16/1), So Dubai (28/1), Horace Greasley (28/1), Marve (40/1)

Those with experience don't set the bar too high so a chance is taken on Mark Johnston newcomer DARK COMPANY. Strike Red showed a fair level of ability in a couple of runs in June and is respected on his return, while Burscough shaped with some promise on his Redcar debut and is open to progress.
