40/1

Successful in small-field sprint novice events first 2 starts but well beaten in Railway Stakes when last seen in June and gelded since. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 110

Hafit²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

8/11

Bred in the purple with a £2.1m price tag to match and overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Newmarket (7f) 4 weeks ago, landing a gamble in good style despite greenness. Looks smart.

Form: 1

Power Of Beauty¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Palmer| OR: 104

10/3

Won 7f events at Wolverhampton and Yarmouth before taking a huge step forward when second to Albahr in 1m Sandown listed race, edged out late on having been bumped by winner several times. Big player.

Form: 2112

Triple Time²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K A Ryan| OR: 96| CD

3/1

Really getting the hang of things, opening his account in commanding fashion in C&D novice last month, making all impressively. Could be more to come.

Form: 321

Forecasts

Hafit (8/11), Triple Time (3/1), Power Of Beauty (10/3), Dukebox (40/1)

HAFIT landed a gamble in good style on debut at Newmarket last month and the inexperience he showed there suggests he could have plenty more to offer as he gets to grips with the game. The second and third both won next time and he can take a step up the ladder with another victory. It's a tough choice between Power of Beauty and C&D winner Triple Time for the forecast.
