One Nation^p³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: A Kirby| T: C Appleby| OR: 93| BF

7/2

Better with each outing in novice events, scoring at Sandown (7f) in July and he stayed on well to follow up on nursery debut here (7f) later that month. Never landed a blow when midfield in 14-runner York nursery latest but interestingly gelded since.

Bold Act²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 92| D

4/9

New Approach colt who has displayed race-by-race progress to date, making it 2 wins from 3 starts when defying a penalty in a Kempton novice (1m) 3 weeks ago. Type to go on improving and sound claims on nursery bow.

Form: 211

Hope You Can Run⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: R L Moore| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 85| D

6/1

Lope De Vega colt who filled runners-up spot on 2 of his 3 starts in maiden/novice events and proved straightforward when taking 3-runner Doncaster nursery (1m) 40 days ago. Another who can do better again.

Form: 2621

Bajan Bandit⁶¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Cieren Fallon| T: R Hannon| OR: 81

28/1

150,000 gns Oasis Dream colt who proved willing when making a winning debut in a Salisbury maiden (7f) in July. Found listed company a bit too much at this stage next time but given a break since and feasible to think he can do better still. Handicap debut.

Form: 14

Forecasts

Bold Act (4/9), One Nation (7/2), Hope You Can Run (6/1), There's The Door (10/1), Bajan Bandit (28/1)

Charlie Appleby has saddled the winner of this three times since 2013 and BOLD ACT is taken to enhance that statistic. Having shaped well on debut here on the other course in July, he has subsequently landed the odds in a couple of novice events and further progress is likely now pitched into a nursery. Stablemate One Nation looks vulnerable on the back a disappointing effort at York and There's The Door, though the probable outsider of the quintet, is second choice ahead of Hope You Can Run.
