Don Armado^t¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Bentley| T: S C Williams| OR: 91| D

10/1

Has really found his form since switched to handicap company on turf, winning a valuable contest at the Goodwood Festival last time out. 6lb rise fair and should go well again in hat-trick bid.

Form: 732811

Hesslewood²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Spencer| T: J D Bethell| OR: 89| CD

16/1

Shock C&D winner on debut and backed that up with a respectable effort at Haydock next time. Couldn't get competitive in Listed class at Ascot and the handicapper hasn't taken any chances with him.

Form: 125

Moyassar¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Hannon| OR: 88| BF| D

7/1

Plenty of promise in his first two starts and duly got his head in front in fine fashion at Chelmsford. Could only finish second when odds-on at Haydock last time but handicapper has left him on the same mark and remains capable of better.

Form: 2212

The Great Heir¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 88| CD

16/1

Very impressive when winning a C&D handicap here last month. Couldn't back that up on his hat-trick bid at Goodwood last time when 13lb higher and had a tough enough race but handicapper has dropped him 2lb for that at least.

Form: 42119

Barend Boy¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer| OR: 87| D

33/1

Some promise on his first couple of starts and belatedly got his head in front at the fifth attempt at Lingfield. Well beaten when outpaced at Goodwood last time and hard to fancy on that evidence.

Form: 236518

I Am A Dreamer¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 87| CD

25/1

Won twice over C&D earlier in the campaign but well beaten in Group 2 company next time out and has failed to land any sort of blow in a pair of recent handicaps. Looks in need of relief from the handicapper.

Form: 110250

Prairie Spy⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 86| BF| D

22/1

Won her first two starts and then tried to give plenty of weight away when a beaten odds-on favourite. Still likely there's more to come but others may be better handicapped.

Form: 113

Ginger Nut¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Hannon| OR: 85

9/2

Impressive winner of the Newbury Super Sprint at a big price two starts back and only narrowly denied at Newmarket on handicap debut. More to come from her and only up 2lb for that effort.

Form: 423112

Gabrial The Wire¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 84

25/1

Has failed to build on his win at Chester in June with two disappointing efforts back at that course and handicapper has set him stiff task here.

Form: 22144

(13)

Prince Elzaam²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 84| D

25/1

Improved from debut to win a 14 runner contest at Thirsk and he's run well in defeat twice since, most recently when runner-up over C&D. Return to faster ground could be a bonus and handicap mark looks feasible.

Form: 4122

(19)

Blyton^v¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 83| D

14/1

Gained a first win from six starts at Haydock last time out when getting the better of Moyassar. Got an easy time of things on the front end that day but yard won this last year and he's respected from 6lb higher.

Form: 224431

Indian Sounds³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: S De Sousa| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 82| D

10/1

Got his head in front on his third and final start in a novice event at Newbury last month and still looked a bit green in the closing stages. Rates as the type to kick on from that here and the handicapper hasn't gone overboard with opening mark.

Form: 331

Thegreatestshowman²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: D C Costello| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 82

33/1

Won at Brighton on his third start and while out of his depth at Royal Ascot, ran okay at Chester subsequently. Others may prove better handicapped though.

Form: 34102

Rathbone^p1²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 81| BF

9/1

Placed twice at this course before he was only narrowly denied at Redcar last time. Green in the closing stages that day and needs more here in first-time cheekpieces

Form: 322

Woodside Wonder¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 80

25/1

Didn't need to improve to win at odds-on at Hamilton on his fourth start. Well beaten in the super sprint at Newbury but produced a better effort when runner-up at Musselburgh last time. Up 4lb here but shapes like the step up in trip will suit.

Form: 622102

(6)

Absolute Dream¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80| BF

25/1

Improved from debut to placed in his next three starts, one over C&D. Disappointed when favourite at Ayr last time though and hard to fancy after that effort.

Form: 62236

(5)

Dark Shadow²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: J F Egan| T: C G Cox| OR: 80

10/1

Left his first couple of starts behind when runner-up at Windsor and justified favouritism at Sandown last time. Up 6lb for that but in command before the finish and likely there's more to come.

Form: 6521

(9)

Evie Speed¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: A Fresu| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 80| D

6/1

Got her head in front on her third start at Ripon and while she was favourite for that contest, there was plenty to like about the manner of the win. More needed in deeper company but handicapper has given her a chance.

Ginger Nut (9/2), Evie Speed (6/1), Moyassar (7/1), Eljayeff (7/1), Rathbone (9/1), Don Armado (10/1), Indian Sounds (10/1), Dark Shadow (10/1), Blyton (14/1), The Great Heir (16/1), Hesslewood (16/1), Prairie Spy (22/1), Gabrial The Wire (25/1), Absolute Dream (25/1), Prince Elzaam (25/1), Woodside Wonder (25/1), I Am A Dreamer (25/1), Thegreatestshowman (33/1), Barend Boy (33/1), Jungle Inthebungle (33/1)

GINGER NUT proved her Super Sprint success was no fluke when only narrowly denied at Newmarket last time and only up 2lb for that effort, she ought to go well again here. Don Armado is only up 6lb for his latest win and should run well off top weight while Moyassar may be seen to better effect. It will be interesting to see whether he can reverse the form with Blyton whose connections won this last year.
