Notta Nother²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 75| D

2/1

Winner at Goodwood in June. 14/1, shaped well with the drop back in trip firmly against him when fourth of 10 in nursery at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Surprising to see him kept to this distance, but could get away with it in this lesser contest.

Whoop Whoop⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Laura Pearson| T: R M Beckett| OR: 74

5/2

12/1, possibly unsuited by conditions when well held on nursery debut at Goodwood (6f, soft) just under 6 weeks ago. Can get back on track in this lesser contest.

Hedge Fund¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 73

10/3

10/3, showed improved form to get off the mark despite still showing signs of inexperience in 6-runner nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 13 days ago, making all and always holding on. Appeals as the type to do better still.

Forecasts

Notta Nother (2/1), Whoop Whoop (5/2), Hedge Fund (10/3), Crooked Crown (11/2), Outer Edge (10/1)

HEDGE FUND showed improved form despite still showing signs of inexperience when scoring on nursery debut at Wolverhampton just under a fortnight ago and with even better to come he's fancied to follow up at the expense of Notta Nother, who looked unsuited by the drop to 5f last time but should be in the mix dropped into Class 5 company. Crooked Crown can fill out third spot.
