Ancestral Land⁸⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C G Cox| BF

2/5

Promising sort. 5/2 favourite, second of 9 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 80 days ago, green and keeping on, not knocked about. That form has worked out and he'll improve if all is well. Looks the one to beat.

Form: 2

Majestic Newlaw¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁷⁾| T: P & O Cole

4/1

Twice-raced maiden. Much better when third of 9 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good, 9/1) 12 days ago. Respected under stable's 7 lb claimer who is shaping up nicely.

Form: 03

Ancestral Land (2/5), Majestic Newlaw (4/1), Zoology (11/2), Nanga Parbat (13/2), Timewaitsfornobody (22/1), Cahore Retreat (22/1), Glamorous Star (50/1), Jackie Diamond (66/1), Ok Pal (150/1)

ANCESTRAL LAND made a very promising start at Windsor in June despite being unable to justify favouritism. He looks sure to improve if all is well and will be hard to beat if doing so. Zoology is a very appealing newcomer and must be feared. Majestic Newlaw took a big step forward at Windsor recently and shouldn't be underestimated with his yard's promising 7 lb claimer now on board.
