Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Jenkins

40/1

1,000 gns yearling (private sale), Aclaim gelding. Dam unraced out of 2-y-o 6f winner Unilit. Likely outsider on racecourse bow.

Jazzit²³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Harry Eustace

18/1

Harry Angel gelding who proved very easy to back and offered little when last of 12 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut in December. This promises to reveal more but he's likely one more for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 0-

Kamberleigh⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: Darryll Holland

150/1

Sergei Prokofiev colt who went with no promise when last of 7 in novice stakes at Leicester (50/1) 43 days ago, folding quickly. Best watched.

Form: 7

(8)

Rock Iguana^h1⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: K P De Foy

2/1

€575,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett gelding who produced a promising first effort when third of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) back in May. That form has substance and he's a key player now starting out for new yard with a first-time hood fitted.

Form: 3

(2)

Shamacid³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods

4/1

£40,000 yearling, Shaman colt. Offered something to work on when fifth of 11 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 8/1) on debut 32 days ago. Should progress.

Form: 5

(7)

Dark Empress^h1⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jonny Peate| T: D Shaw

400/1

Dark Angel filly who showed only greenness when last of 9 in maiden (150/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on her belated debut 48 days ago, losing place over 2f out. Passed over with a hood now reached for.

Form: 9

(6)

Minshaar⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey

16/1

Still a touch green but did better nevertheless with debut run under her belt when third of 10 in novice at Doncaster (6f, firm) in May. In good hands and likely she can do better again, particularly in handicaps.

Form: 63

(5)

Oilisa²³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Russell| T: M Walford

66/1

Sergei Prokofiev filly who shaped like a longer-term project in 2 AW starts late last year, making only late headway when sixth of 11 in novice at Newcastle (6f) in December. Will have low-grade handicaps as an option after this and they will suit better.

Form: 76-

(4)

Warm Summer^t1³⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: S bin Suroor

5/6

Blue Point filly who showed promise and shaped best of the rest behind a now useful sort when second of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (6f, AW, 5/2) on debut last September. Tongue strap goes on for return and she's well worthy of interest with improvement forthcoming.

Form: 2-

Forecasts

Warm Summer (5/6), Rock Iguana (2/1), Shamacid (4/1), Minshaar (16/1), Jazzit (18/1), English (40/1), Oilisa (66/1), Kamberleigh (150/1), Dark Empress (400/1)

ROCK IGUANA and Warm Summer both shaped with plenty of encouragement when placed on their respective debuts and comfortably rate the pair to focus on. The former narrowly shades the vote to come out on top, though market confidence behind the latter returning from 11 months off would look significant. Minshaar may well emerge best of the rest.
