Ramazan³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85| D

9/4

Beverley novice winner (5f) who has improved further in nurseries, adding to tally at Haydock (6f) prior to a solid fifth of 18 in a stronger affair at York (6f, good) 30 days ago. Can go well again from 1 lb higher mark.

Shandy Star¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 83| D

11/1

Latest win at Hamilton (6f) in July. Creditable third of 6 in nursery back at that venue (6f, good, 3/1) 16 days ago, denied a run 2f out but keeping on. Expected to give another good account.

Form: 715103

Braveheart Boy³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 81| D

12/1

Showed race-by-race progress in novice events, off the mark at Pontefract (6f) in July. 12/1, respectable eighth of 18 in nursery at York (6f, good) 30 days ago and it remains early days with him.

Form: 2618

Jm Jungle¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 81

14/1

Improved from debut effort when landing a Hamilton maiden (5f) in May. Largely consistent since, running up to best when second from this mark back at that venue (6f) 16 days ago. May just be vulnerable to a couple here, though.

Reward Smile^t²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: H Palmer| OR: 79

6/1

Havana Grey gelding who stepped up on opening efforts when runner-up in a Carlisle novice (5.8f) 3 weeks ago, headed close home. Needs to pull out more again now handicapping.

Form: 342

(8)

Prairie Falcon³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 76

5/2

Found some improvement to make winning nursery debut at Goodwood (7f) in July. Respectable third on AW next start and looked unfortunate not to get back to winning ways when close-up fifth at Redcar (7f) 3 days ago, denied a run and finishing with running left. Big player.

Honour Your Dreams^t³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: A Mullen| T: A Keatley| OR: 75| CD

40/1

Fair gelding. Off the mark at fifth attempt in a C&D maiden in June and probably best not judged too harshly on subsequent exploits, finding things a little hot in a class 2 Ripon conditions' event 5 weeks ago. This more suitable but he does need to settle better. Tongue tie re-fitted.

Form: 451595

Premier Option²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72

10/1

Profitable gelding who has progressed with each start in defeat to date, second of 11 in maiden at Catterick (5f, good, 3/1) 23 days ago, sticking to the task and just failing. Step up to 6f may unlock further improvement now handicapping.

Form: 822

(9)

Don't Fight It¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 66

28/1

3/1, career best when winning 7-runner nursery at Carlisle (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago, edging left but keeping on well. Taking her racing well but this is more demanding up in class.

Form: 414321

Flying Barty¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: K A Ryan| OR: 63

22/1

Starspangledbanner filly. Not without promise in trio of maiden/novice events spread out over 5 months, sixth of 11 at Haydock (6f) 14 days ago (on back of 3 months off). May do better now handicapping so interesting what the market makes of her.

Forecasts

Ramazan (9/4), Prairie Falcon (5/2), Reward Smile (6/1), Premier Option (10/1), Shandy Star (11/1), Braveheart Boy (12/1), Jm Jungle (14/1), Flying Barty (22/1), Don't Fight It (28/1), Honour Your Dreams (40/1)

A winner on nursery debut at Goodwood in July, PRAIRIE FALCON was an unlucky loser at Redcar 3 days ago, denied a run from 2f out and finishing with plenty left. He could be the way to go with potential for better still back down in trip. Ramazan is another going the right way and feared, along with Premier Option.
