Scored on his second start in a Chepstow novice event (6f, good) in June. Held under a penalty next time and also from this mark on his nursery debut at Bath (good to soft) last time. 7lb claim can help, but has a bit to prove.

Came good at the third attempt in a Brighton maiden (6f, good to firm) in June. Significantly below that level in both nurseries so far. Steps up from 7f here, which looks positive and also drops 2lb. More needed but not written off.

Off the mark in facile fashion at Brighton last time (1m, good). Little to be gleaned from that and she has officially been dropped 1lb since. Has to be taken seriously, given the sponsorship of this contest, however, so enters calculations.

Built steadily in novice events before striking on her nursery debut at Nottingham (1m½f, good to firm) last time. Front pair were 4L clear there, so a 7lb rise is probably fair and her chance of a follow-up is respected.

Did better when stepped up to 7f in her most recent novice run at Chelmsford. Cheekpieces on and stepped up again in trip for this nursery debut. Mark looks stiff enough, but probably more to come.

Decent effort when stepped up to 7f on his nursery debut at Chelmsford, though was never really a major threat to the principals. 2b drop/step up to 1m could help, while cheekpieces also now added. Interesting.

Forecasts

Rosamour (7/4), Hallalulu (11/4), Swan Street (11/2), First Thought (6/1), Balata Bay (8/1), Jaayiz (10/1)

Verdict

Hallalulu's win last time looks decent in context and she can again go close, with First Thought and Swan Street others who pose a threat. However, ROSAMOUR should have gained a bit in confidence despite being gifted her Brighton win in unfortunate circumstances, and she is taken to follow up.
  1. Rosamour
  2. Swan Street
  3. Hallalulu
