2yo Handicap - Form Comments
| 1 | Courageous Knight | Has started favourite on all four starts but it took until his latest start – leading throughout in a maiden at Epsom – to win one. The form of that win does not look strong however. |
| 2 | One Nation | Clearly relishes this trip. He has won his last two starts though has been raised 8lb for beating two rivals in a Newmarket handicap. |
| 3 | Scholarship | Made a winning debut at Haydock – the form of that maiden working out well. However no impact in a Royal Ascot G2 subsequently. Up in trip. |
| 4 | Land Of Summer | Some fair performances in stronger company since winning at Brighton on debut. Didn’t have much luck at Goodwood last time but this still looks tricky. |
| 5 | Kyeema | Has run to a similar level on all three starts, gaining his first win when beating nine rivals on soft ground over this trip in a Catterick maiden. From a top stable. |
| 6 | Benacre | An Epsom winner over this trip on his debut, then second of five when a hot favourite. First start in a handicap. Holds G2 entries next month. |
| 7 | X J Rascal | Only beaten a head in fast ground handicaps over this trip on his last two starts, finishing powerfully each time. Only 2lb higher. |
| 8 | Indian Dream | Gelded after his first two starts, promptly winning over this trip at Epsom. Only just caught on his handicap debut at Haydock. Belongs on the shortlist. |
| 9 | Manifested | Probably the best of three starts so far came last time when third in a maiden earlier this month. Fairly treated at the weights for his handicap debut. |
| 10 | Rock Of England | Quickened from the back to win a 1200m novices’ event on his debut. Surely better than a poor show on his second start. |
| 11 | Sunny Orange | Made a winning debut, but a beaten favourite on his last two starts and especially disappointing last time, no doubt why he has been gelded and is fitted with blinkers. |
| 12 | Craven | Two of his three starts have come here, running a good second the first time but only modestly over this trip last month. |
| 13 | Shine’s Ambition | Came close to a shock victory on his debut, but hasn’t really progressed in three starts since, and totally outclassed in a G2 last time. |
| 14 | Mystical Applause | A narrow 1200m winner at Salisbury, then only just caught over this trip at Chester. Has had a break prior to this handicap debut. |
| 15 |
Common Acclaim |
No worldbeater but his last two starts – including his second at Ayr last time – suggests he can win a handicap before long. |
| 16 | Run Cmc | Only win came at about 1000m, but this inexpensive purchase should last this trip. But will need to improve significantly on recent form. |
| 17 | Spirit In My Soul | Just one noteworthy run from three starts. Will need to show more despite being low down the weights. |
