Fram Castle³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J F Egan| T: Ollie Sangster

7/2

16/1, held back by inexperience when eleventh of 13 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 30 days ago. May do better.

Form: 0

Lennon²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: G Boughey

17/2

Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Freddie & Martyn Meade when seventh of 11 in maiden (11/2) at Wolverhampton (7f) 29 days ago. Early days for this good stable but improvement will be needed.

Form: 87

(8)

Lightning Bay

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: J Butler

28/1

Cable Bay gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 7f-1m winner Light Lily and 1m-11f winner Solanna. Dam 1m/8.3f winner. Yard could ready one and needs monitoring in the betting.

The Ferret¹⁵⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: L P Keniry| T: R Hannon

15/2

Modest form when fifth on 7f Kempton debut in July. Well beaten on soft ground at Salisbury 9 days later and off since.

Form: 57

(6)

Northfield Lake

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: George Rooke| T: R J Smith

66/1

Hunter's Light colt. Half-brother to winner abroad by Sidestep. Dam sprint maiden half-sister to smart 1¼m/11f winner Spillway. Likely he's best watched on debut.

Form:

(3)

Wannabeawallaby

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: Dylan Cunha

9/1

Price dropped from £67,000 as a yearling to 15,000 gns 2-y-o but this son of Australia starts out in quite a weak race and needs a betting check.

Form:

Rosy Kiss¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Gilligan| T: M Botti

9/2

25/1, showed a bit when eighth of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 14 days ago. May do better.

Form: 8

Clear Storm⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A J Farragher| T: W J Haggas

2/1

18/5, very green when sixth of 14 in maiden (18/5) at Kempton (1m) on debut 42 days ago, nearest finish. Should be wiser now and this looks a very winnable race.

Form: 6

(5)

Mon Etoile⁵⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston

16/1

Magna Grecia filly who was soon detached and pulled up early on her Wolverhampton debut 8 weeks ago. Can only watch after that.

Form: P

Forecasts

Clear Storm (2/1), Fram Castle (7/2), Rosy Kiss (9/2), The Ferret (15/2), Lennon (17/2), Wannabeawallaby (9/1), Mon Etoile (16/1), Lightning Bay (28/1), Northfield Lake (66/1)

CLEAR STORM was getting the hang of things in the closing stages on his Kempton debut and could take a significant step forward now. Rosy Kiss hinted at promise on her Kempton debut and might be the one to give her most to do unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding newcomers such as Lightning Bay and/or Wannabeawallaby.
