King's Call²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: K A Ryan| OR: 94

11/2

Debut winner of 6f novice at Ayr in July and not disgraced in face of stiff tasks all 4 starts since, well backed but failing to go through fully with his effort when 3¼ lengths eighth of 14 to Star of Mehmas in listed race at the Western Meeting 3 weeks ago. Now makes nursery debut.

Form: 16888

Fuji Mountain²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Nolan| T: D Carroll| OR: 87| D

11/2

Speedy sort who came good back in calmer waters when making all in Chester novice (soft) in July. Struggled in group/listed company since but made a successful nursery debut back at the scene of his previous win last month, just holding off Teej A. Up 4 lb and should go well again.

Form: 201001

Teej A¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 86

15/2

Progressive during the spring, winning 2 of first 3 starts, including the Woodcote Stakes at Epsom (6f, soft). Back on track when an unlucky second in a 5f Chester nursery (behind Fuji Mountain) last month but raced too freely up with the pace at Haydock since. Bounce back needed.

Do It Now²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: A Keatley| OR: 86| BF| D

14/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark at Ripon in May before an excellent fifth in the Super Sprint at Newbury. Well held on nursery debut at Goodwood and, having been sent off favourite, failed to capitalise on the drop in grade at Redcar last month. More needed back in a nursery.

Form: 315094

End Of Story²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 86| D

11/2

Winner on debut in a Thirsk maiden (5f) in June. Didn't progress immediately but back on track having been gelded when second of 8 in course nursery (6f, soft) last month, but again flopped at listed level at the Western Meeting 3 weeks ago. Ground conditions in his favour so should go close.

Form: 150520

Ardennes⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: E Walker| OR: 83

9/1

Good fourth of 16 in a hot nursery at Goodwood (6f) in August before flying too high in listed company at this track later that month. Possibly unsuited by conditions back in calmer waters at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) 8 days ago and that tempers enthusiasm somewhat here.

Form: 612405

Al Hussar⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 77| D

12/1

Off the mark in 10-runner Doncaster maiden (5f, firm) in May and having disappointed on his next 2 starts, resumed winning ways switched to handicaps (also gelded) in 10-runner event at Catterick (5f, soft) 9 days ago. 6 lb penalty to carry and this is a significant step up in grade.

Form: 731801

(4)

Lord Roxby²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 81| D

17/2

Much improved from debut when winning 11-runner maiden at Beverley in August and took another step forward when runner-up in Redcar novice (5f, good to firm) the following month, just unable to fend off a promising newcomer under a penalty. Big shout now heading into nurseries.

Form: 212

(10)

Managing Director³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Jason Hart| T: B Smart| OR: 79| D

17/2

Showed improved form as he capitalised on the drop in grade to get off the mark under a no-nonsense ride in 8-runner nursery at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) just under 5 weeks ago, still looking a little rough around the edges but always in command. Contrasting conditions to deal with here.

Form: 53301

(6)

Radio Star²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 74

13/2

Left debut well behind when third of 7 in novice at Lingfield (5f, AW) in August and ran to a similar level upped in trip when runner-up in similar event at Chester (6.1f, soft) just under 3 weeks ago. More needed switched to handicaps if she's to open her account.

Form: 032

Forecasts

End Of Story (11/2), King's Call (11/2), Fuji Mountain (11/2), Radio Star (13/2), Teej A (15/2), Lord Roxby (17/2), Managing Director (17/2), Ardennes (9/1), Al Hussar (12/1), Do It Now (14/1)

END OF STORY has twice found listed company all too much at this stage of his career so, having gone close in a course nursery on his penultimate start, Kevin Ryan's charge is fancied to double his tally back in this company at the expense of Fuji Mountain, who made a successful nursery debut at Chester last month and should go close again from 4 lb higher. The unexposed Lord Roxby and handicap debutant King's Call round off the shortlist.
