Nakakande¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 79

7/1

Winner of a soft ground contest over an extended 5f at Nantes in April and has run in some decent races since. Should be capable of making an impact off this sort of mark in handicaps and is respected despite weak effort last time behind Kilbarchan.

Kilbarchan¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 77| BF| CD

9/4

Won over C&D on debut when making all and a return to this venue will suit more than when second at Newcastle last time when well ahead of Nakakande. Strong claims once again and is a leading player.

Form: 1412

Barbara Hepworth⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Charles Bishop| T: G & J Moore| OR: 73

5/1

Promising debut when fifth at Ascot in May, but she has yet to go on from that, and only eighth of 11 to Porcelain Girl in nursery at Leicester last time. This extra furlong should suit though and it's early days.

Form: 5358

Arctic Spirit¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Josephine Gordon| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 71

9/2

Ran well the last twice finishing third on both occasions. Second of those runs was here over 6f and shaped there like going back up to 7f will suit. Potential to do better.

Form: 64333

Muthhila⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: A Fresu| T: M Botti| OR: 67

5/2

Shown definite promise in three starts in novice events so far. Makes Nursery debut off a fair looking mark and she could improve now. Market check very much needed.

Form: 742

Fast Endeavour^v1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: M L W Bell| OR: 62

14/1

Best run so far when dropped to a seller on soft ground at Newmarket last time (7f). Needs to build on that now switched back to the AW and the visor goes on first time.

Kilbarchan (9/4), Muthhila (5/2), Arctic Spirit (9/2), Barbara Hepworth (5/1), Nakakande (7/1), Fast Endeavour (14/1)

KILBARCHAN has run well on all four starts so far and has won twice including over this C&D. She can get back to winning ways as this will suit her more than Newcastle last time. Artic Spirit is improving all the time and she rates as the main danger.
