The Actor^b1²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 90

17/2

Off the mark at Newmarket in May but below that level in better company since. Blinkers now applied on switch to handicapping.

Form: 2103

Do It Now¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: A Keatley| OR: 90

10/1

Off the mark at third attempt at Ripon in May and improved on that when good fifth of 19 in Super Sprint Stakes at Newbury (5.2f, good to firm, 20/1) 13 days ago. Warrants respect on handicap debut.

Form: 2315

(12)

Sex On Fire²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Spencer| T: R Spencer| OR: 88

9/1

Made successful debut at Southwell in March and got back on the up when good second of 8 in nursery at Haydock (6f, good) 27 days ago, staying on well. Should go well again.

Form: 1302

Ardennes³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 84| D

15/2

Left debut effort behind when scoring at Salisbury in June and backed that up when second of 9 in novice at Newcastle (5f, 10/3) 34 days ago. May have more to offer on handicap debut.

Form: 612

(9)

The Dragon King¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C G Cox| OR: 84

7/1

Found improvement when winning Doncaster maiden in May and upped his game further when taking 6-runner nursery at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 18 days ago. 4 lb rise fair and another bold bid is on the cards.

Form: 2411

(1)

Mission Command¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott| OR: 83

9/1

Progressed with each start thus far, latest when opening account in 10-runner maiden at Ripon (5f, good) 13 days ago, comfortably. More on plate here but may have more to give on handicap bow.

Form: 031

(11)

Shazani²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 81| D

50/1

Much improved when scoring at Hamilton (6f) in June but was disappointing on nursery debut at Haydock last month and needs to bounce back.

Form: 0417

Cayman Tai⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 81

11/1

Made the most of a good opportunity when landing the odds at Ffos Las (5f, good) 40 days ago. In much deeper contest now but begins handicapping off a fair mark.

Form: 2221

(5)

Tanager³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 80

14/1

Off the mark at the first time of asking at Chelmsford in March and acquitted himself well in defeat more recently, latest when third of 13 in novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 37 days ago, finishing with running left. Opening mark could have been kinder on nursery debut, however.

Form: 1533

(6)

Berkshire Kameo^v1²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 78| BF

14/1

Yet to score after 4 attempts but matched best form when close second of 5 in nursery at Ascot (6f, good) 21 days ago. Others look more progressive, however, and first-time visor needs to eek out some improvement.

Form: 3532

(16)

Yes I'm Mali²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: S De Sousa| T: R A Fahey| OR: 77| D

33/1

Made a winning debut at Wetherby in June but well below that level at Nottingham since. Still early days but others look more convincing. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 18

(17)

Balzarini¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 77

22/1

Caused a surprise when taking a Windsor maiden (5.1f) last month and backed that up when very good third of 10 in nursery at same course (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Can race off same mark here and must enter calculations.

Form: 8413

(13)

Hackney Diamonds¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Billy Loughnane| T: B J Meehan| OR: 77

25/1

Progressive sort who made a successful winning nursery bow at Leicester (7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. However, this is more competitive and she is not guaranteed to be suited by the return to sprinting.

Form: 9531

(14)

Artagnan²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: D Egan| T: K R Burke| OR: 76

16/1

Made an encouraging debut at Ripon in June but rather gone backwards since and has a bit to prove on switch to handicapping.

Form: 205

(3)

Rare Change²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Hughes| OR: 75

4/1

Suited by return to this trip when good third of 8 in nursery at Haydock (good, 5/1) last month and booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye. Likely contender.

Form: 0643

(8)

Alondra⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Vincent C Y Ho| T: C Hills| OR: 74

28/1

Showed promise on first 2 starts but underperformed here last time and faces a stiff task on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Rare Change (4/1), The Dragon King (7/1), Ardennes (15/2), The Actor (17/2), Sex On Fire (9/1), Mission Command (9/1), Do It Now (10/1), Cayman Tai (11/1), Tanager (14/1), Berkshire Kameo (14/1), Zabeel Road (14/1), Artagnan (16/1), Balzarini (22/1), Hackney Diamonds (25/1), Alondra (28/1), Yes I'm Mali (33/1), Shazani (50/1)

Preference is for RARE CHANGE, who finished well from an unpromising position at Haydock last month and remains feasibly treated. There are plenty of dangers, however, with The Dragon KIng, Ardennes and Mission Command of particular interest.
