Selected odds by:

(5)

Blue Seeker²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies| T: S & E Crisford

14/1

Twice-raced maiden. Stepped up a little on debut when sixth of 11 in novice (100/1) at Kempton (6f) 26 days ago but the form is only modest. First outing on turf.

Form: 86

(4)

Dan Tucker²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 81

5/2

The form he showed when second of 17 in a 6f Thirsk novice in September is the best on offer here. Not up to the Two-Year-Old Trophy here since but the one to beat back in calmer waters.

Form: 420

(7)

Jungle King¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke

12/1

8/1, didn't show much obvious promise when seventh of 8 in novice at York (6f, soft, 8/1) on debut 17 days ago but hails from a top yard and no surprise were he to prove a different proposition second time up.

Form: 7

(2)

Maelstrom³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: W J Haggas| BF

10/3

Comfortably held on both starts but the fact he went off favourite at Newbury latterly would suggest he's thought capable of better by his top stable.

Form: 58

(3)

Native Instinct⁷³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| BF

6/4

Fair form in 2 outings at Thirsk over the summer, with SPs of 3/1 and 15/8 suggesting he's quite well regarded. Likely to be thereabouts back from 10 weeks off.

Form: 53

(1)

Sovereign Applause

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: R Menzies

22/1

20,000 gns Ten Sovereigns filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Good Heavens and 1¼m winner Puturhandstogether. Dam, unraced, closely related to smart 1m-1¼m winner Rawdaa. The betting should guide to expectations.

Form:

(6)

Tootsie⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at Catterick (7f, heavy) 9 days ago. Looks more one for handicaps after this.

Form: 69

Forecasts

Native Instinct (6/4), Dan Tucker (5/2), Maelstrom (10/3), Jungle King (12/1), Blue Seeker (14/1), Sovereign Applause (22/1), Tootsie (125/1)

DAN TUCKER can be forgiven his run in the Two-Year-Old Trophy here and is the one to beat if back to the level of his penultimate Thirsk second. The strength behind Maelstrom and Native Instinct in the betting on both their starts suggests they are thought capable of better and they can give Jedd O'Keeffe's charge most to think about.
