Looking For Lynda⁵⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-13| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 99

10/3

Useful gelding. Latest win at Musselburgh in August. 10/1, very good second of 8 in nursery at York (5.4f, good to soft) 57 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Will take the beating on recent showings.

Shaquille⁵⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-13| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 90| D

2/1

Thrice-raced winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Hooded for 1st time, improved to win 12-runner minor event (12/1) at York (6f, good to soft) 57 days ago, driven out. Should progress further and merits respect.

Flag Flying⁶⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: R Kingscote| T: D Loughnane| OR: 88| D

16/1

Won Goodwood maiden in June but has been highly disappointing both starts since. Fair bit to prove now on first run for yard after leaving Harry & Roger Charlton.

Form: 195

Tenjin²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: David Probert| T: M Botti| OR: 81| BF| D

9/2

Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Kempton in October. Ran at least as well when second of 10 in nursery at same course (6f) 24 days ago, despite failing to settle and conceding first run. This contest looks tougher.

Form: 63712

(2)

Havana By The Sea¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 87| D

10/1

Fairly useful filly. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 5/1, much improved when winning 6-runner nursery at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago. Further progress required here.

Form: 451551

(6)

Swift Asset⁸⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 90

7/1

Fairly useful colt. Winner at Windsor in June. Highly tried since, failing to beat a rival in valuable sales race at Doncaster (6.5f, good) 86 days ago. More needed on tapeta debut.

Form: 516670

(9)

Danger Alert²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 85| BF

10/1

Fairly useful gelding. Runner-up last 4 starts, though did a fair bit wrong when second of 5 in nursery at this course (7.2f) 22 days ago, breaking awkwardly and pulling hard. Capable of better here despite wide draw.

Form: 582222

(8)

Harry Magnus²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: C Hills

28/1

Twice-raced maiden. Showed more but still rough around the edges when fifth of 10 in minor event (11/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, running on late. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 05

Michaela's Boy²

Forecasts

Shaquille (2/1), Looking For Lynda (10/3), Tenjin (9/2), Michaela's Boy (9/2), Swift Asset (7/1), Danger Alert (10/1), Havana By The Sea (10/1), Flag Flying (16/1), Harry Magnus (28/1)

LOOKING FOR LYNDA resumed his progress when runner-up in a York nursery last month and sets the standard on that effort. Shaquille has won 2 of his 3 starts so far and is most feared with further improvement likely, whilst four-time runner-up Danger Alert is capable of getting in the mix again.
