Verdict

Karl Burke's improving WAASIL is fancied to land the hat-trick in an open-looking nursery. There could be better to come from Al Wathba (sole runner with Group entries), and he's feared most.

2	Progressive son of Ardad who made it 2 wins from 3 starts in a 4-runner nursery at Newbury (7f) towards the end of July. A 6 lb rise doesn't look insurmountable given he was well on top at the finish, especially with more improvement to come over this extra 1f. May well make it a hat-trick. 1st Pick 2 Waasil Jockey: Sam James Trainer: K. R. Burke J: Sam James T: K. R. Burke	98	-	-	-	27%	11/4

1	Scopey €900,000 Wootton Bassett colt who shaped well when behind the subsequent Acomb winner Haffner on debut. Still looked to be learning when turned over at Leicester before making no mistake at Kempton (1m) last time. Opening mark demands more but he remains with potential (holds Group entries). 2nd Pick 1 Al Wathba (Fr) Jockey: William Buick Trainer: Charlie Appleby J: William Buick T: Charlie Appleby	93	-	-	-	29%	5/2

5	Took a firm grip when narrow second over C&D on his third career start prior to knuckling down well to go one better at Yarmouth (7f) last time. May well have more to offer switched to a nursery, though will need to settle again now tried over longer trip (quite speedily bred). 3rd Pick 5 Keep Grating (Ire) Jockey: Joe Leavy Trainer: Richard Hannon J: Joe Leavy T: Richard Hannon	99	-	-	-	12%	15/2
