Auriferous²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 78| BF

5/2

Fair gelding. Creditable second of 8 in minor event at Thirsk (12f, heavy, 2/1) 24 days ago. Still low mileage, and he needs considering.

Form: 96-232

(7)

Lord Marbury

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: P W Chapple-Hyam

10/1

€380,000 yearling, Galileo colt. Closely related to 1¼m winner Heavenly Snow and 1½m winner Caledonian Crusade. Plenty to like on paper so much respected newcomer. Worth a market check.

Form:

(4)

Modestus²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: H & R Charlton

9/2

7/2, made highly promising debut when fourth of 12 in minor event here (9.9f, soft) 26 days ago, close up until last 1f and not knocked about. Has scope to do much better. Most interesting.

Form: 4

(3)

Sharpenupabit¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T E Whelan| T: W S Kittow

250/1

150/1 and tongue strap on, last of 11 in maiden at Bath (10.2f, soft) on debut 18 days ago, missing break. Lots more required.

Form: 0

(5)

Victoria Line^p1,h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W Muir & C Grassick

15/2

150,000 gns yearling, Kingman gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful duo Angel Vision (7f/1m) and Bohemian Dance (1m-1m4f). Wears cheekpieces. Appeals on pedigree. Not ruled out.

Form:

(1)

Vin Rouge¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁵⁾| T: J A Osborne

50/1

Seventh of 11 in maiden at Bath (10.2f, soft, 25/1) on debut 18 days ago, not knocked about. Should do better, but he needs to if he's to figure.

Form: 7

(6)

Franklet³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| BF

11/8

Fair form when placed on both her runs, second of 11 in minor event at Kempton (12f) 34 days ago. Well in the mix.

Form: 32

Forecasts

Franklet (11/8), Auriferous (5/2), Modestus (9/2), Victoria Line (15/2), Lord Marbury (10/1), Vin Rouge (50/1), Sharpenupabit (250/1)

MODESTUS very much caught the eye when fourth on his debut here and this half-brother to the stable's high-class Time Test is taken to confirm that promise at the chief expense of fair maidens Franklet and Auriferous, who can chase home Roger Charlton's colt in that order.
