Bateman⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S A Gray| T: G Tutty

9/2

Showed plenty to work on amid inexperience sole start for Paul & Oliver Cole when sixth of 13 in maiden at Pontefract (6f) only start at 2yrs. Looked unsuited by drop to 5f only start for Stuart Williams at Wolverhampton (5.1f) and since changed hands for 10,000 gns. Likely he can do better.

Form: 6-5

(4)

Canon's House

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby

18/1

32,000 gns yearling, Zoustar gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 6f Yafta and 6f winner Swiss Star. Yard's newcomers usually better for a run but he boasts an excellent sprinting pedigree. Worth noting if market speaks in his favour.

Doodlebug²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler

100/1

Twice-raced gelding. Eleventh of 12 in maiden (150/1) at Redcar (6f, soft) 23 days ago, racing off the pace and never involved. Can only be watched.

Form: 00

(5)

Flowstate

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara

18/1

€26,000 foal, Bungle Inthejungle gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including 6f/7f winner Poole Harbour and winner up to 1m Soul Silver, both useful. Dam maiden. Market should guide on debut for in-form yard.

Footonthegas²⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in minor event at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 125/1). Off 8 months. Up against it.

Form: 97-

(2)

Fox Spirit⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby

11/1

140,000 gns yearling, Invincible Army gelding. Appeals on paper but easy to back and he ran to only a modest level when seventh of 16 in novice event at Wetherby (7f, good to soft, 33/1) on debut 8 days ago. This should reveal more.

Form: 7

(12)

Oligopoly^t³³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80

15/2

Offered plenty to work on when placed on first 2 starts in 7f maidens for Joseph O'Brien. Well held on nursery debut at the Curragh when last seen 11 months ago but lines up here having changed hands for 11,000 gns/gelded and pick of form gives him claims.

Form: 239-

(11)

Rebel Empire¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Hannon| OR: 69

4/1

Lightly-raced gelding. Matched previous best without being best placed/still looking green when third of 8 in handicap (3/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Possibilities in a maiden lacking much depth.

Form: 5543

(1)

The Bobster²⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey

33/1

Shaped with definite promise amidst greenness when fourth on debut at Beverley (5f, heavy) in September. Never a factor when last of 11 at Redcar (6f) a month later but gelded ahead of return and no surprise to see him get back on track as a 3-y-o.

Form: 40-

(9)

Ice Pop

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston

11/1

Exceed And Excel filly. Dam twice-raced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Capezzano out of half-sister to Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Speightstown. One to note on debut.

Form:

(8)

Idle Assembly³⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: B J Meehan

13/8

Twice-raced filly. much improved from debut when fourth of 6 in maiden (7/1) at Newmarket (6f, good) this time last year. Absent since and handicaps could be more her bag after this.

Form: 54-

(13)

Rogers Dream²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Murtagh| T: S Corbett

50/1

Harry Angel filly. 100/1, shaped as if in need of the experience when tenth of 12 in maiden at Redcar (6f, soft) on debut 23 days ago, running green and never landing a blow. Best watched.

Forecasts

Idle Assembly (13/8), Rebel Empire (4/1), Bateman (9/2), Oligopoly (15/2), Fox Spirit (11/1), Ice Pop (11/1), Maris Angel (12/1), Flowstate (18/1), Canon's House (18/1), The Bobster (33/1), Rogers Dream (50/1), Doodlebug (100/1), Footonthegas (150/1)

OLIGOPOLY proved very disappointing when trailing in last of 11 in a Curragh nursery on his final start for Joseph O'Brien in July. Gelded/changed hands for 11,000 gns thereafter, his previous efforts would be enough to see him very competitive in a race of this nature, so he gets the narrow vote to hit the ground running back from 11 months off. Rebel Empire can give him most to think about, whilst Ice Pop, Flowstate and Canon's House are a trio of newcomers to note.
