Cotai Vision⁵⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Laura Pearson| T: D Loughnane| OR: 72| CD

22/1

Didn't need to be at best when winning 6-runner seller (5/4) at this C&D 56 days ago, finding extra. First run for yard after leaving Ed Walker. Needs a couple of these to falter to overcome high draw.

Form: 401641

Princess Alex⁵⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 72

9/1

Winner at Pontefract in July. 14/1, respectable third of 7 in nursery at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Step back up in trip looks a sensible move and she's not discounted.

17/2

Winner at Hamilton in June. Back on track when third of 6 in nursery (8/1) at Nottingham (5f, soft) 31 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey. Merits consideration.

18/1

Not seen to best effect under hold-up tactics when eighth of 10 in nursery at Newcastle (6f, 40/1) 7 days ago, not much room. Should be sharper now but high draw rates as negative.

40/1

Forecasts

Havana Smoke (7/2), Bulldog Drummond (4/1), Whoop Whoop (11/2), I'm Spartacus (6/1), Ninety Nine (17/2), Princess Alex (9/1), Split The Profit (11/1), Newport Bay (16/1), Alfa Whiteburd (18/1), Cotai Vision (22/1), Petra Celera (40/1), Chumbaa (40/1)

BULLDOG DRUMMOND chased home an improver in a Chelmsford maiden earlier in the month and is taken to get off the mark on his return to nursery company. Princess Alex may do better now stepped up to 6f and also merits consideration, alongside Ninety Nine.
