(1)

Revich²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: R Spencer| OR: 78| BF

7/2

Has improved since his initial run (unpromising start to his career) although his last run did see a dip in form again despite being placed. Steps up to 7f for the first time now on his handicap debut; opening mark looks harsh.

Form: 9323

(6)

Jaayiz²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: P Makin| T: R Hannon| OR: 75

7/1

Stepped up on his two previous runs when making his turf debut at Brighton finding plenty to lead close home over 6f. That display hints that he should be suited by this extra furlong as he steps into handicaps for the first time with more to come.

Form: 561

(3)

Two Blondes²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: M R Channon| OR: 73

5/2

His first run looked to hold plenty of promise especially as his yard have been going well this year with juveniles. Hasn't really progressed since though in three runs and others appeal more given his latest start; handicap debut.

Form: 5333

(4)

Five Helmets⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 71

3/1

Already has experience in this sphere and shaped well on nursery debut looking as though he would really appreciate a trip like this. Has more to offer now given a test now despite the 3lb higher mark; has experience around here.

Form: 8644

(7)

Yellow Fire²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 66

12/1

From a yard who have been leading the way in juvenile races this year he only ran to a modest level last time but shaped better than the bare result. Well bred he's not been that fortunate with the draw here but can't be left out of things.

Form: 484

(5)

Firewater^p1²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

16/1

Stepped up on his debut second time out but didn't progress for his last start and went with little zip and raced in a very lazy manner. Now goes into a handicap for the first time with the addition of some much needed headgear.

Form: 546

(2)

Lady Lavinia²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 64| D

8/1

Landed a 7f Redcar seller a few weeks ago looking well suited to this kind of trip but would have to show further progress to land something like this stepping into a handicap for the first time.

Form: 5751

Forecasts

Two Blondes (5/2), Five Helmets (3/1), Revich (7/2), Jaayiz (7/1), Lady Lavinia (8/1), Yellow Fire (12/1), Firewater (16/1)

Only one of these has any nursery experience and FIVE HELMETS could put that know-how to good use here from a decent draw over a trip that he looks to have been crying out for on the evidence of his last start. Jaayiz scored in gritty fashion last time and looks the ideal sort for this test although his draw is a little wider than connections would have liked although he should cope in this small field. Yellow Fire is drawn widest of all represent Mark Johnston who is no stranger to juvenile winners this year he may be able to cope especially with Chester master Franny Norton on board. Revich has the plum draw although his mark looks a little high for his debut in this sphere.
