15/8
Has an improving profile and won at the fourth attempt over a similar trip at Beverley last time (good to firm). Did that well and the handicapper starts by asking him some fairly serious questions here. Can't rule him out of coming up with the answers.

5/2
Has run three good races in novices' company over 5f-6f and now enters nurseries with a further step up in trip. Mark looks fair and should get the trip okay, so has to be short-list material.

7/1
Has made good strides in three starts so far, winning her latest one at Leicester (6f,good to soft). Was doing her best work at the finish there, so this extra furlong will help bring about further improvement and from this mark she looks a leading player.

3/1
After a couple of similar efforts he took a step in the right direction here over 6f last time and this extra furlong looks positive. Cheekpieces may also eek out a little more. Should be competitive from his mark.

16/1
Has been a bit in-and-out so far, but should be able to make an impact in nurseries, although looking at the make-up of this race that may not be today.

Best effort so far was two starts ago at Newcastle (6f, AW), but her three turf runs at Ayr leave her with plenty to do to get competitive here.

Looks a very moderate performer on the evidence of his four starts to date. Steps up in trip to 7f for the first time here. That may help with some improvement, but needs a major leap of faith to see him get competitive.

Forecasts

Ventura Knight (15/8), Move It Move It (5/2), Star Of Zaam (3/1), Shazzab (7/1), Kheleyf's Girl (16/1), Sam James (33/1), Rock On Bertie (50/1), Heavenly Pulse (100/1)

Verdict

A really interesting nursery that should see several getting competitive and the tentative vote goes to SHAZZAB, who finished strongly last time and looks capable of a fair bit more over this extra furlong. Ventura Knight comes here in form and should go well, but there is a fair bit being asked of him in this field, while Move It Move It and Star Of Zaam should also be thereabouts.
