Amiloc²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| C

5/2

Promising sort. Won 8-runner maiden (11/10) at this course (7f) on debut 25 days ago. Seemingly had a bit in hand on that occasion and while more will be needed under a penalty this time, he's clearly open to improvement.

Form: 1

(12)

Aneedah Hero^t²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W Muir & C Grassick

100/1

Twice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 4 in novice at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy, 22/1) 23 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps later on.

Form: 04

(11)

Bear Island²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Davies| T: D Menuisier

13/2

Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in maiden at this course (7f, 17/2) on debut 25 days ago, nearest finish. Will be wiser this time and stepping up to a mile looks a good move.

Form: 4

(5)

Flying Fortress²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: James Owen

12/1

Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good, 40/1) 21 days ago, never nearer. Should pick up a race at some point but he's another who may have more joy in handicaps.

Form: 04

Hi Ya Mal

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

11/1

Foaled April 19. 35,000 gns yearling, New Bay colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1¼m Morning Poem. Dam, 1½m-1¾m winner who stayed 2½m, half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Monturani. Lots to like on paper and needs a close look in the betting.

Form:

(9)

Le Pelerin

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: W J Knight

33/1

Foaled April 26. 32,000 gns yearling, Sottsass colt. Dam 7f winner. Yard's newcomers usually come on for a run.

Must Believe¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley| T: I Mohammed

9/2

Twice-raced maiden. Second of 10 in novice at this C&D (66/1) 17 days ago. Likely to go one better before long, provided that he builds on that much-improved display.

Form: 02

(2)

Pine Cliffs¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: George Rooke| T: J G Portman

80/1

Twice-raced maiden. Third of 9 in novice at this C&D (66/1) 17 days ago. Another for whom handicaps may well prove a more happy hunting ground.

Form: 03

(7)

Celtic Diligence¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: P Phelan

150/1

Once-raced maiden. 100/1, sixth of 9 in novice at this C&D on debut 17 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Readily passed over.

Form: 6

(13)

Green Storm⁹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: C Johnston

2/1

Twice-raced maiden. 17/2, second of 7 in novice at Haydock (7f, firm) on latest start in June. Stepping up to a mile will be no bad thing and while stall 13 isn't exactly ideal, he's a strong candidate otherwise.

Form: 32

(6)

Poke The Bear¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, fifth of 9 in novice at this C&D 17 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 95

(3)

Champagnebreakfast

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Georgia Dobie| T: E Smyth-Osbourne

66/1

Foaled January 22. 6,000 gns yearling, Churchill filly. Sister to 2-y-o 7.4f winner Golden War. Limited appeal on paper.

Form:

(8)

Scheming⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon

125/1

Once-raced maiden. 17/2, last of 9 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, firm) on debut 41 days ago. Will probably do better in time but others make more appeal on this occasion all the same.

Form: 9

Forecasts

Green Storm (2/1), Amiloc (5/2), Must Believe (9/2), Bear Island (13/2), Hi Ya Mal (11/1), Flying Fortress (12/1), Le Pelerin (33/1), Champagnebreakfast (66/1), Pine Cliffs (80/1), Aneedah Hero (100/1), Scheming (125/1), Celtic Diligence (150/1), Poke The Bear (250/1)

The one who appeals most is GREEN STORM, who stepped up on his debut effort when finishing a clear second to Seagulls Eleven in a 7f Haydock novice in June, form which was boosted when the winner subsequently found just one too good in Group 2 company. Amiloc made a winning start to his career here last month and is feared greatly, despite his penalty. Newcomer Hi Ya Mal is one to note in the betting, while Bear Island and Must Believe are also worth a second look.
