Achnamara¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

5/1

Twice-raced maiden, much better effort when second of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 20/1) 12 days ago, sticking to his task. Not ruled out.

Form: 02

(9)

Anglesey Abbey

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S & E Crisford

16/5

New Approach gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1¼m winner Vancouverite. Trainer’s newcomers command respect, so he's well worth a market check.

Form:

(7)

Falling Shadow¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: C Appleby

3/1

11/2, very green when eighth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut 12 days ago. Open to progress, especially now up in trip. Shortlisted.

Form: 8

(8)

Grand Libya³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Tom Clover

3/1

Promising sort. Second of 13 in minor event at Redcar (7f, soft, 15/2) 39 days ago. Up in trip and likely to do better still. Player.

Form: 72

Pyrrhic Dancer

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

11/1

£40,000 yearling, Holy Roman Emperor colt. Dam 1½m winner out of winning sister to US Grade 1 8.5f winner Consolidator. Appeals on paper, so debutant needs considering.

Uberrima Fides²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox

28/1

80/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (8f) on debut 29 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement.

50/1

Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, eighth of 14 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 19 days ago. Has lots to find on form.

Form: 88

(5)

Quick Change¹⁶²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

7/1

11/1, promising debut second of 9 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in July. Daugher of New Approach will be suited by this stiffer test of stamina, and not discounted after her break.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Falling Shadow (3/1), Grand Libya (3/1), Anglesey Abbey (16/5), Achnamara (5/1), Quick Change (7/1), Pyrrhic Dancer (11/1), Uberrima Fides (28/1), Festival Of Light (50/1), Orlando Lammy (150/1)

GRAND LIBYA holds a clear edge on form so gets the nod with further progress on the cards now he steps up to 1m for the first time. Newcomer Anglesey Abbey catches the eye on paper and is feared most, especially if the market speaks in his favour. Achnamara and Quick Change need considering too in a fair juvenile novice.
