Selected odds by:

(9)

Highlighter²⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: C Lee| T: G Tutty

20/1

Australia gelding. Promise when fourth in 14-runner novice event (10f) at Windsor in June, running green but keeping on final 1f. Marked drop in trip not an obvious move on return/yard debut and he's likely to flourish at a later stage.

Form: 4-

(5)

Bright Boots³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado

40/1

Time Test colt. Half-brother to 1m-1¼m winner Rockwood. 100/1, looked badly in need of the experience when seventh of 12 in novice event at this course (8.1f) on debut 34 days ago.

Form: 7

(10)

Constitution³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 80

16/1

Promise when runner-up on debut in a Newbury novice (6.5f) in June but not got close to matching that form in 2 subsequent outings, latterly when eighth of 12 in a Kempton maiden on yard debut 37 days ago. Handicaps may be more his bag.

Form: 20-8

(3)

Eagle Day²⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan

3/1

170,000 gns purchase who showed ability amidst obvious greenness when sixth in 10-runner York maiden (6f) on debut back in June. Good chance he can leave that form behind and is respected on return.

Form: 6-

(12)

Kananga⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: Craig Lidster

300/1

Mondialiste gelding. Half-brother to 7.4f/8.3f winner Le Chiffre and 5f-6f winner Gustav Graves. 66/1, seventh of 9 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 9 days ago. One for further down the line.

Form: 7

(6)

Kodiman

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cameron Noble| T: R Varian

10/1

55,000 gns yearling, Kodi Bear gelding. Dam maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to useful 1m winner (stayed 1¼m) Sawwaah out of useful 2-y-o 6f-7f winner (stayed 10.4f) Mudaaraah. Worth a second look on debut for powerful yard.

Form:

(1)

Odin Owns You All³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M L W Bell

5/2

Promising type. Hooded for 1st time, second of 6 in maiden at Newcastle (1m) 32 days ago, needing stiffer test. Remains type to do better, particularly when stamina is drawn out further.

Form: 52

(8)

Ray The Hay

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Andi Brown

150/1

Dream Eater colt. Dam unraced. Rates a likely outsider on racecourse debut and passed over here.

Form:

(7)

Smoky Mountain

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Spencer| T: C Fellowes

18/1

Frankel gelding. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs), sister to very smart winner up to 1m Tabarrak. Makes appeal on paper and market support would need to be viewed positively ahead of debut.

Form:

(2)

Tintin Potter^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: Craig Lidster

300/1

Once-raced colt. 20/1 and tongue strap on, last of 8 in novice event at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 14 days ago, proving too free with little pace on. This should reveal more.

Form: 8

(14)

Ella's Angel²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: George Rooke| T: J Coulson

300/1

Once-raced filly. Tenth of 12 in novice event (250/1) at this course (8.1f) on debut 23 days ago, slowly away and never dangerous.

Form: 0

(13)

Flame Of Kodiac²⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden

7/2

Promising type. 14/1, looked green when sixth of 10 in novice event at Newmarket (6f, good) on debut in May, definitely getting the hang of things late on. That form has worked out well and she's respected with the prospect of more to come now.

Form: 6-

(11)

Rock N Roll Pinkie

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Joey Haynes| T: I Furtado

200/1

Sun Central filly. Sister to 1¾m-16.5f winner Funky Town Pinkie. Dam 7f winner. Likely best watched on racecourse debut.

Form:

(4)

Royal Design¹⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Hayley Turner| T: W J Haggas

5/1

Twice-raced filly. 17/2, improved on debut form without threatening when fifth of 12 in novice event at Leicester (7f, good) in September. Absent since but in excellent hands and handicaps may be more her bag in due course.

Form: 05-

Forecasts

Odin Owns You All (5/2), Eagle Day (3/1), Flame Of Kodiac (7/2), Royal Design (5/1), Kodiman (10/1), Constitution (16/1), Smoky Mountain (18/1), Highlighter (20/1), Bright Boots (40/1), Ray The Hay (150/1), Rock N Roll Pinkie (200/1), Tintin Potter (300/1), Kananga (300/1), Ella's Angel (300/1)

FLAME OF KODIAC was definitely getting the hang of things late on in a Newmarket novice that worked out well last spring and with progress anticipated for her leading stable, she's fancied to take a step forward and come out on top. Eagle Day and Odin Owns You All are others to consider, whilst Kodiman is a newcomer to note.
