Edward Cornelius¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 85| BF| D

22/1

Winning debut at Musselburgh in July. Better form when runner-up twice since, albeit behind reopposing rivals Fast Response and Peggy Sioux. Likely vulnerable.

Form: 122

(5)

Ernest Rutherford²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: L F Roche| T: M O'Callaghan| D

12/1

All the sharper for his debut when scoring by 2 lengths in maiden company a Naas (5f, good) 26 days ago. Respected for a stable which does well with the juveniles it sends over here.

Form: 51

(3)

Mitbaahy²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 97| D

15/2

Showed improved form to get off the mark in good style on his first crack at 5f in 13-runner maiden at Thirsk at the start of August. Bettered that when third in 5f York listed since. In the mix.

Form: 8513

(12)

Project Dante⁷¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 106| BF| D

5/1

Fittingly made winning debut at the Dante meeting in May. Excellent third in the Norfolk next time and too keen over 6f in Newmarket Group 2 in July. Given time since and fancied to bounce back here.

Form: 130

(13)

Vintage Clarets²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 102| CD

17/2

Won 5f novices at Beverley and Ayr before a fine third in the Coventry. Not so good in Super Sprint at Newbury and Gimcrack at York the last twice but a contender on his peak form.

Form: 411368

(9)

Canonized¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: D Allan| T: W J Haggas| OR: 95| D

10/1

Pretty useful 3-time winner who was also second in listed company at York in May. Another creditable effort when fourth in French Group 2 15 days ago. Likely to give her usual good account.

Form: 211344

(7)

Eternal Halo²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 86| D

22/1

Confirmed debut promise when running out an impressive winner of 5.4f York novice in July. Could only manage seventh (Mitbaahy ahead in third) in listed back at York since but it's still early days.

Form: 417

(4)

Fast Response⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: K R Burke| OR: 80| D

13/2

Enjoying a good year, landing a third success when comfortably seeing off 3 rivals in a 5f Musselburgh conditions event last weekend. Will need a touch more at this level, though.

Form: 413141

(1)

Geocentric²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Gary Carroll| T: G M Lyons| OR: 100| D

9/2

5f Navan maiden winner in July and improved when 3¾ lengths second in 6f Curragh Group 3 since. The way she went through that suggests she'll be at least as effective back at 5f. Big player.

Form: 212

(10)

Lady Ayresome⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 88| D

80/1

Progressed significantly to double career tally in the Hilary Needler (5f) at Beverley in May but limitations seemingly exposed in Albany at Royal Ascot and she's run poorly in a nursery since.

Form: 51190

(11)

Peggy Sioux¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| D

17/2

Oasis Dream filly who hails from a speedy family and looked a very useful prospect when scoring comfortably on 5f Hamilton debut 16 days ago. Likely capable of making her presence felt at this level.

Form: 1

(2)

Unfinishedsympathy¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Angus Villiers| T: R Spencer| OR: 82

100/1

Left debut behind when winning a 10-runner Chelmsford maiden (6f) last month. Well held in 6f Salisbury Group 3 since but she was prominent for a good way so perhaps this drop back to 5f will help.

Form: 610

(8)

Vertiginous¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: B J Meehan| OR: 98| BF

17/2

Still a maiden but she was fifth in the Queen Mary and showed useful form when 3 lengths fourth in Group 2 Lowther at York (6f) last month. Turned over in a novice at Haydock since, though.

Form: 25242

Forecasts

Geocentric (9/2), Project Dante (5/1), Fast Response (13/2), Mitbaahy (15/2), Vertiginous (17/2), Vintage Clarets (17/2), Peggy Sioux (17/2), Canonized (10/1), Ernest Rutherford (12/1), Edward Cornelius (22/1), Eternal Halo (22/1), Lady Ayresome (80/1), Unfinishedsympathy (100/1)

There's certainly nothing wrong with PROJECT DANTE's Norfolk form so he's worth a chance to bounce back from a lesser run at Newmarket in July, when seemingly unsuited by the step up to 6f. The way Geocentric travelled when third in a 6f Group 3 at the Curragh last time suggests she too will be suited by the return to 5f so she's feared most ahead of recent easy Hamilton debut scorer Peggy Sioux.
