Exclamation²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: T Eaves| T: G Harris| OR: 95| BF

22/1

Fairly useful colt. Winner at Doncaster in July. Very good 3 lengths fifth of 10 to Revival Power in Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster (5f, good, 80/1) 22 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 320125

Ardisia¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: H Palmer| OR: 92| BF| D

7/1

Useful gelding. 4 wins from 9 runs this year. 5/1, career best when winning 9-runner nursery at Ayr (6f, soft) 15 days ago. This is more demanding but he's a live each-way candidate all the same.

Form: 100131

Born Slippy^t¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: R Spencer| OR: 76| D

80/1

Fair colt. Winner at Ffos Las in August. Good 2½ lengths third of 9 to Ardisia in nursery at Ayr (6f, soft, 9/1) 15 days ago. Sizeable step forward needed here.

Form: 562103

Song of The Clyde²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: C G Cox| OR: 100| D

7/4

Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at York in August. Very good second of 21 in minor event (13/2) at Doncaster (6.5f, good) 23 days ago. Sets the standard.

Form: 61212

Storm Esme¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| D

11/1

Won 12-runner maiden at Newcastle (6f, 85/40) on debut 15 days ago, slowly away. Open to improvement, but this is a big ask for one so inexperienced. Yard also represented by Argentine Tango.

Form: 1

Inca Heights²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Connor Beasley| T: C G Cox| OR: 87

20/1

Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Newbury in April. Well adrift of Song of The Clyde when twelfth of 21 in minor event (50/1) at Doncaster (6.5f, good) 23 days ago and it's hard to envisage him turning the tables on his stablemate here.

Form: 1920

Kanishka⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 75

50/1

Fair colt. Winner at Newcastle in June. Below form eleventh of 18 in nursery (22/1) at York (7f, good to firm) 44 days ago. Uphill task.

Form: 442410

(9)

Straight Ahead³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Sean Kirrane| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 69

200/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/3, good second of 7 in nursery at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 39 days ago, no match for winner. Plenty to find on form.

Form: 66522

(1)

Cotai Belle⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Ryan Sexton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80| D

50/1

Fair filly. 2 wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Haydock in July. Well-beaten when last of 21 to Song of The Clyde in minor event (11/1) at York (6f, good to firm) 44 days ago, though, and she will need to leave that well behind in order to play a part in the finish here.

Form: 021100

(5)

Isle of Fernandez¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: O McSweeney| T: K A Ryan| OR: 90| D

5/1

Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Carlisle in September. 25/1, good 3 lengths third of 14 to Catching The Moon in Firth of Clyde Stakes at Ayr (6f, soft) 14 days ago and a reproduction of that will put her firmly in the picture.

Form: 52913

(6)

Mystical Eye^h³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Warren Fentiman| T: A M Balding

40/1

Once-raced maiden. Hooded, fifth of 12 in novice (28/1) at Kempton (6f) on debut 3 days ago, not knocked about. Open to progress for top yard, but this is likely to come too soon for him.

Form: 5

(7)

Magistery¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: M Dods| OR: 73| D

150/1

Fair filly. Winner at Carlisle in September. 20/1, fifth of 7 in nursery at Ayr (7.2f, soft) 15 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Others preferred.

Form: 852615

(13)

Golden Brown²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Aidan Keeley| T: E Walker| OR: 78

17/2

Fair gelding. Respectable eleventh of 21 in minor event at Doncaster (6.5f, good, 33/1) 23 days ago, not clear run. Not as appealing as some of the others.

Form: 652460

(2)

Arduis Invicta¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: William Pyle| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 88| BF

10/1

Fairly useful filly. Very good 1¼ lengths third of 12 to Chairmanfourtimes in listed race at Ayr (5f, soft, 40/1) 15 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Solid each-way chance.

Form: 451813

(12)

Argentine Tango¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 94| D

11/2

Fairly useful filly. 15/2, bit below form 5 lengths sixth of 14 to Catching The Moon in Firth of Clyde Stakes at Ayr (6f, soft) 14 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form, but this will be her eleventh run of the season and it could be that she's now ready for a break.

Forecasts

Song of The Clyde (7/4), Isle of Fernandez (5/1), Argentine Tango (11/2), Ardisia (7/1), Hollywood Treasure (7/1), Golden Brown (17/2), Arduis Invicta (10/1), Storm Esme (11/1), Inca Heights (20/1), Exclamation (22/1), Mystical Eye (40/1), Kanishka (50/1), Cotai Belle (50/1), Born Slippy (80/1), Magistery (150/1), Straight Ahead (200/1)

SONG OF THE CLYDE had several of these behind when landing a valuable sales race at the York Ebor meeting and he followed that with a fine effort in defeat in a similar event at Doncaster. Incidentally, they were the same races that Dragon King contested prior to winning this for the yard in 2023 and Song of The Clyde is taken to repeat the dose. Isle of Fernandez took a step forward when third in Group 3 company at Ayr and she is second choice ahead of Arduis Invicta and Hollywood Treasure.
