W: 9st 9lb

2 yo Gelding

OR: 97

Form & Verdict
Nursery debutant; has bits of Group form but may be a shade flattered by his peak RPRs and record of 1-7 reflects that his limitations are seemingly known; concedes weight to rivals who are less exposed.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Brian Meehan

Group placed as 2yo and he's run well in top 3yo only handicaps over 1m2f this summer, finishing second of 14 at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm; probably acts on good to soft) off this mark last time; respected with Oisin Murphy taking the reins for the first time.

J: Joe Leavy

T: Brian Meehan

Third in 1m1f Listed race on reappearance and a rallying sixth of 16 in 1m2f handicap at Royal Ascot; drop back to 1m was probably against him on latest start but he's pretty exposed compared to many of today's rivals.

J: Connor Planas

T: Brian Meehan

3yo who is capable of useful form, most recently a rallying sixth in Royal Ascot handicap (1m2f); however, he still hasn't added to his early 2yo success and isn't crying out for this drop back in trip.

2 yo Colt

OR: 87

Form & Verdict
Bids for a hat-trick after wins in Windsor novice event (1m, soft) and Chelmsford nursery (1m2f, AW; easily); bare figures suggest he's still well treated despite 8lb rise; improving colt who warrants respect.

Placed twice over 7f before displaying improvement to win quite valuable Windsor novice (1m, soft) 17 days ago; needs to transfer that progress to Polytrack on this nursery debut but ought to be suited by today's trip.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

Similar efforts over 7f on good to firm ground, finishing third both times, latest at Yarmouth eight days ago (82 days after debut); gives the impression this extra furlong will suit; leading player at the weights.

2 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Has some encouraging form over 7f, rallying fifth at Epsom (handicap debut) most recently; gives the impression she's ready for this step up in distance; interesting, with improvement possible.

Off the mark at the sixth attempt when scoring on Wolverhampton reappearance (8.6f, AW) in May; backed that up with a close call at this track (1m, good to firm) but her progress stalled with a disappointing run at Newmarket last time; has bit to prove again after that and she needs to bounce back with tongue-tie added; stablemate of Molo Del Palazzo.
