G2 – 1200m – Turf

1 Admiral Nelson From a stable with a great record in this. Although only debuting last week so easily did he win at The Curragh it should not have taken much out of him. Chance.
2 Army Of India Pinged the gates, and though idling towards the end managed to cling to victory in that 1200m Kempton maiden. Pedigree suggests a good or fast turf surface will suit.
3 Choritzo Always prominent, he made a winning debut over this trip at Wolverhampton recently. Might not have enough speed against some of these rivals.
4 Creative Force Appeared to justify an expensive price-tag with an impressive 1200m first-time out success at Newmarket, after quickly grabbing the favoured stands’ rail.
5 Dark Lion Favourite for a Newmarket maiden on his debut, suggesting he had been showing plenty at home.  He finished fourth, looking very inexperienced.
6 Existent A promising third – despite racing too keenly and also looking unbalanced at one point – in a strong-looking 1200m Newmarket maiden this month.
7 Igotatext One of plenty of first-time-winners in this field, he was made favourite for his debut at Lingfield and, though having to challenge wide, won quite nicely.
8 Lauded This G2 was on his agenda even before he had raced. It definitely is now, after he had outspeeded seven rivals over this trip at Haydock.
9 Mehmo It would be the shock of the season if Mehmo -who showed nothing on his only start  -won this.
10 Nando Parrado Not well drawn on his recent debut, at Newmarket, he was also slowly away so his final fifth place was respectable. Lots of improvement needed though.
11 Painless Potter Unfancied for his debut at Kempton this month, but despite missing the break and looking very inexperienced he finished strongly into third.
12 Qaader An impressive debut winner over this trip at Newbury last week, beating his eight rivals easily despite swerving at one point. He’s powerful to look at.
13 Saeiqa Although not looking particularly happy on the track he ran a promising third, beaten 2.5L by today’s rival Creative Force, at Newmarket this month.
14 Science Made favourite for his debut at Kempton, he didn’t want to enter the stalls but did nothing wrong in the race failing by a short-head. He’s fast.
15 Talbot Not eager to enter the stalls but once galloping he proved too good for his rivals on that recent Lingfield debut. Up in grade and trip for this next assignment.
16 Thunder Of Niagara Showed a professional attitude to outgun some better fancied opponents in a 1200m maiden at Newcastle earlier this month. A promising start.
