Age: 2|  Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: Alice Haynes| OR:  92
7/2
Landed first 2 starts in maiden/novice company (both at 5f) and not discredited in face of some stiff tasks subsequently, latterly when fifth in Kempton Group 3 over this trip 5 weeks ago. Switch to handicaps a plus and forecast conditions will hold no fears.

9/2
C&D novice winner who displayed a striking turn of foot to follow up in valuable big field minor event at Naas (6f) in August. Next start best excused and he returned to form when sixth in Group 3 Sirenia Stakes at Kempton (6f) latest. Nursery debut.

9/2
Course winner who ran right up to best when third of 7 in nursery (15/2) back here (5.1f, soft) 4 weeks ago, keeping on. Well worth another crack at this longer trip and he's respected.

4/1
C&D winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. 10/3, career best when winning 6-runner nursery at York (7f, soft) 21 days ago, very much having run of race. May find things tougher from this revised mark.

6/1
Boasts a progressive profile and had a bit to spare when scoring in a nursery at Newbury (6f) in August. Matched that form when runner-up at Doncaster (6f) 4 weeks ago and he's one to be interested in again.

8/1
Lightly-raced maiden. 11/4, bit below form third of 8 in minor event at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Switch to handicaps rates a plus for yard with a good record here.

Our Havana14
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-3| J: Andrew Breslin(3)| T: R A Fahey| OR:  72| BF
8/1
Progressive in novice/maiden company, looking likely winner before hanging right straight when second in a maiden here (7f, soft) 2 starts back. Better than result (raced freely) when fourth on nursery debut at Haydock (7f) since and drop back to sprinting a plus on that evidence.

Forecasts

Hala Emaraaty (7/2), Politico (4/1), Hackman (9/2), Golden Trick (9/2), Kingswood Flyer (6/1), Infinity Blue (8/1), Our Havana (8/1)

Verdict

HACKMAN ran respectably, particularly with a view to stepping back up in trip, when third over 5f on his latest outing 4 weeks ago and he could be worth chancing to come out on top. Kingswood Flyer and Our Havana both appeal as types that can do better still also and head up the dangers in a competitive nursery.
