Outclassed in Group 2 company last time out but won two novice races well prior to that and is the one to beat on handicap debut off what looks to be a fair mark.

Won on debut before finishing down the field in two races contested by some very talented juveniles, including when beaten into 10th by Royal Ascot winner Sound And Silence last time. Interesting to see how he fares now eased in class with first time cheek pieces.

Progressive type who has done much of his racing on the all-weather so far but has had his sole victory come on the turf. More improvement likely on handicap debut from an ideal draw.

Hasn't been able to build on some promising early efforts in novice races, having finished last of all over C&D last time out. No reason to see his form picking up now starting off in nursery handicaps.

Improved to win a novice event at Ripon last time (5f, good), and is given a relatively low mark to start off her nursery campaign. Should appreciate the likely strong pace and is entitled to go well.

Has run some fair races in novice events so far but is entitled to find this too competitive to provide a likely source of a first career win.

Just beaten by Silver Starlight at Ripon last time and receives 1lb from that reopposing rival now. Open to further improvement, especially if learning to settle in her races.

10/1
Put in a better effort at Bath last time but has still failed to genuinely challenge in any of his novice races, best watched on this switch to handicap company.

Has run well in her four races so far, including when not beaten far in a novice contest a week ago. Has improved with every start so far and, though others have won much stronger races that is reflected in her handicap mark.

Forecasts

Nine Below Zero (9/4), Excellently Poised (7/2), Branscombe (4/1), Silver Starlight (7/1), Funkadelic (10/1), Almane (10/1), Our Little Pony (12/1), Shay C (12/1), Seen The Lyte (12/1), Marnie James (20/1)

Verdict

Perhaps SILVER STARLIGHT can provide the answer here with Tim Easterby's filly having improved to get off the mark at Ripon last time out. Her opening mark looks fair and she would appreciate a strong pace, which she is likely to get here. The horse she beat narrowly at Ripon, Seen The Lyte, is also worthy of consideration for that reason, especially if she can settle better here, while Nine Below Zero is sure to enjoy the drop in class.
