Fountain Cross¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 96

7/1

6f Haydock novice winner in June. Seemed to run very well when 5 lengths fifth to Battleground in 7f Vintage Stakes at Goodwood in July but he's been below that level twice since. Now moves up to 1m.

Form: 144530

Golden Flame²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: W Buick| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 86| BF

2/1

Fairly useful form, running up to his best when narrowly denied a first win in 1m Salisbury novice (good to soft) 24 days ago.

Form: 2452

(4)

Love Is Golden²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: C & M Johnston| D

9/2

Left last month's debut well behind when keeping on well to score at Ripon (1m, good to soft) 27 days ago. In top hands and can be expected to improve again.

Form: 81

(2)

Percy's Lad¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| D

5/4

Looked promising when comfortably on top in 1m Salisbury novice (good) on debut 16 days ago. More to come and taken to make it 2-2.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Percy's Lad (5/4), Golden Flame (2/1), Love Is Golden (9/2), Fountain Cross (7/1)

Just the four runners but it's quite a tight little race. PERCY'S LAD looked a useful prospect when drawing clear on his Salisbury debut and is taken to remain unbeaten, perhaps at the main expense of fellow last-time-out novice winner Love Is Golden.
