Courageous Knight^p¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: R L Moore| T: C Appleby| OR: 95| D

7/4

Winner at Epsom in July and, having been gelded, backed it up with an eye-catching third at York last time out, finishing well from a poor position. Big player.

Form: 42213

(4)

Signcastle City¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: R Hannon| OR: 89

4/1

Off the mark at Salisbury in July prior to an improved third in a listed event at the same course last month. This represents a drop in class and he's unlikely to have reached his limit.

Form: 513

(1)

Sunningdale²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: P & O Cole| OR: 82| BF

4/1

Lightly-raced colt who took a step forward when runner-up (clear of rest) in a Lingfield nursery 23 days ago. Could improve further, so he's one to note.

Form: 4042

(3)

Urban Sprawl¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 81| D

9/1

Likeable type who doubled his tally when making all in a 5-runner nursery at Sandown a fortnight ago. Should go well again, particularly if allowed his own way.

Form: 421241

(5)

Rose Prick¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: E Walker| OR: 79| D

7/2

Showed promise prior to a much-improved display to score on nursery debut at Newbury 15 days ago, overcoming trouble in running and comfortably on top at the finish. Excellent claims.

Form: 3721

(2)

The Toff¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Ray Dawson| T: C Hills| OR: 76

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden who ran his best race when third of 11 on nursery debut at Doncaster but couldn't quite back it up at Sandown last time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 32634

Forecasts

Courageous Knight (7/4), Rose Prick (7/2), Sunningdale (4/1), Signcastle City (4/1), Urban Sprawl (9/1), The Toff (40/1)

ROSE PRICK overcame a troubled passage to make a successful nursery debut at Newbury recently and, with further progress on the cards, she's narrowly preferred to Courageous Knight, who finished well from a poor position at the Ebor meeting last time. Urban Sprawl is another obvious player.
