Blyton^p1¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 79

9/2

Started his career in promising fashion but hasn't been in the same form on his last couple of starts and he was last of four when prominent in the market at York last time. Bit to prove at present but first-time cheekpieces may work the oracle.

Form: 2244

(3)

Leading Spirit^p⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 76| BF

4/6

Has run to a similar level on each of his three starts. Makes handicap debut here and well bred but he would need to improve on what he's shown to date.

Form: 344

(1)

Tarrzan^p1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Gallagher| OR: 67

33/1

Improved from debut to win at Redcar in selling company on his second start but has struggled in three outings since joining this outfit, including when a disappointing fifth of seven at Lingfield last time. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 31685

(5)

Double Quick¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Spencer| T: J Tate| OR: 67

6/1

Improved a little from her debut to finish third of nine at Thirsk next time out but well beaten ninth of 12 at Kempton last time. Needs to bounce back here on her return to turf.

Form: 539

(6)

Duke of Yorkie¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: J Quinn| T: A West| OR: 61

25/1

Well beaten last of 10 at York on debut but his next two efforts have been more encouraging. Can't be ruled out back down in trip on handicap debut.

Form: 046

(2)

Devils Roc³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C Hills| OR: 57

8/1

Well beaten on each of her three starts to date, including over C&D last time out. Makes handicap debut and the assessor has given her a low mark but deservedly so and she needs to improve here.

Form: 997

Forecasts

Leading Spirit (4/6), Barend Boy (9/4), Blyton (9/2), Double Quick (6/1), Devils Roc (8/1), Duke of Yorkie (25/1), Tarrzan (33/1)

BLYTON may have been disappointing on his last couple of runs but the first-time headgear applied here may see him in a better light and he's taken to win what would appear to be a weak Nursery. Duke Of Yorkie is a danger on handicap debut after a couple of promising efforts while Leading Spirit may prove best of the rest having shown a consistent level of form up to this point.
