Raven's Raft19
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby| OR:  65
6/1
Fair level of form and promise in first two starts in juvenile contests, but not so good last time when soft ground was possibly to blame. Dips her toe in the water in handicap company and the switch to the AW should suit on breeding.

Gold Eagle20
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: P J McBride| OR:  63
8/1
Best display in three starts was her last at Leicester. Seems to be coming to the boil as she makes her debut in nurseries and is one to consider, especially if the market speaks in her favour.

12/1
Some promise in three starts and another who makes her handicap debut. Seemed to like the LIngfield AW last time and is well worth a check in the betting for her shrewd stable.

5/1
First start in a nursery at Bath last time when she finished sixth of 10 over 5f. Back to 6f off 2lb lower, she is an interesting contender for respected connections.

W G Grace38
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-3| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR:  61
2/1
Nicely-bred colt who has cut little ice in two novice events and a maiden. Not overburdened on first start in a handicap and step up in trip may suit.

Silver Bulletv150
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR:  60
8/1
Only limited promise in three starts, but is another who makes her handicap bow and the fitting of a first-time visor might spark some improvement. Worth a look in the betting.

Jean Pagetv11
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-1| J: J F Egan| T: M R Channon| OR:  59
25/1
Early evidence suggests this filly is more effective on the AW than turf and she did not get the clearest of runs in a first-time visor in a seller at Wolverhampton last time. Respected on handicap debut.

Vegas Boyt52
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-12| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR:  56
8/1
Not much encouragement in three starts and now tries his luck handicapping. Seemed to handle the AW at Wolverhampton which offers hope at this track.

Red For Danger56
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-7| J: Georgia Cox(5)| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR:  51
20/1
Three starts so far and seemed to show a little more at Brighton last time. Overall record suggests she is going to struggle despite this first start in handicaps.

Rue Cambon45
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-6| J: A Mullen| T: G Peckham| OR:  50
40/1
Has started at 20-1 or bigger when well held in two novice events and a maiden. Has got in a weak race off a low mark, but nothing so far to suggest she is up to winning it.

100/1
Only the occasional glimpse of promise in six starts and now tries her luck in nurseries. Hard to fancy despite this low mark.

Forecasts

W G Grace (2/1), Laura Knight (5/1), Raven's Raft (6/1), Vegas Boy (8/1), Silver Bullet (8/1), Gold Eagle (8/1), Jan's Joy (12/1), Grand Acclaim (12/1), Red For Danger (20/1), Jean Paget (25/1), Rue Cambon (40/1), Dark Hedges (100/1)

Verdict

Plenty of guesswork with a whole host of contenders making their handicap debuts. Top weight Raven's Raft and Golden Eagle are interesting, while W G Grace might be an improver over this trip for his powerful yard. Jan's Joy is another to catch the eye, but the choice is SILVER BULLET, who hails from a yard which does well in this type of contest and could be about to show improvement in a first-time visor.
  1. Silver Bullet
