(5)

Ameeq⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 97| D

16/1

Confirmed debut promise with victory in 7-runner maiden at Nottingham (5f, good) in June and took another marked step forward when fourth of 15 in Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f) last time, travelling well before struck over head with rival jockey's whip final 1f. Open to further progress.

Form: 614

(6)

Dickensian⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 94| D

11/1

Knew his job and went with plenty of enthusiasm when making a winning debut at Musselburgh (5f) in April and built on that promise at the second attempt when runner-up in Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, firm) 42 days ago, first home in group. Promises to be suited by this sharp 5f.

Form: 162

(2)

Lady Iman³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: G M Lyons| OR: 100| BF| D

11/8

Very promising daughter of Starman who went 3-3 when impressively taking 6-runner Group 3 Fillies' Sprint Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good) in May, quickening to lead final 100 yds. Lost her unbeaten record in Group 2 at the Curragh last time but travelled best that day and big chance back at 5f.

Form: 1112

(8)

Military Code²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 99| D

7/2

Winner of 5f novice events at Newmarket and Ascot during the spring (form of the latter is proving strong). Excuses in the Coventry Stakes (sweated up beforehand) and wasted no time getting back on the up when second in 7-runner listed race at Sandown (5f) last time. Respected.

Form: 1102

(3)

Rogue Supremacy¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 89| D

33/1

Debut scorer who improved a bit to resume winning ways in 4-runner nursery at Hamilton (5f) 13 days ago. Further progress needed back up in grade, however.

Form: 1051

(4)

Rydale Frosty¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 89

7/1

Has progressed with each run, scoring in a notably fast time in 11-runner novice at Windsor (6f) 16 days ago, despite still proving green. Can go on improving upped in grade and the way he travels suggests the drop to the minimum trip won't be a problem.

Form: 421

(7)

Sands Of Spain¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 91| D

7/1

Sands of Mali colt who edged out 2 next-time winners at Carlisle (5f) and ran at least as well to follow up under a penalty at Newcastle (5f). Showed bags of speed when third of 19 in Super Sprint at Newbury (5.2f) on most recent outing but needs more up in grade.

Form: 8113

(1)

Argentine Tango¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 95| D

11/1

Has quickly developed into a useful and likeable juvenile, proving herself beyond 5f at the first time of asking when winning 6f listed event at Newmarket in June. However, essentially beaten fair and square in a higher grade back there last time.

Form: 212113

Forecasts

Lady Iman (11/8), Military Code (7/2), Rydale Frosty (7/1), Sands Of Spain (7/1), Argentine Tango (11/1), Dickensian (11/1), Ameeq (16/1), Rogue Supremacy (33/1)

RYDALE FROSTY progressed further when opening his account in a notably fast time at Windsor recently and could well be capable of following up, especially as the drop to a sharp 5f seems unlikely to inconvenience him given his smooth-travelling style. Lady Iman sets the standard back down in grade/trip and rates the main threat ahead of Ameeq, who shaped better than the bare result in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot and promises to do better still.
