Blyton^v¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 82

7/4

Gained reward for consistency when winning a class 4 Novice Stakes at Haydock at the start of last month but never a factor when upped in class in a nursery at York shortly afterward. Back down in grade but still faces a stiff looking test.

Form: 244310

Requited¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Charlie Bennett| T: H Morrison| OR: 76| D

3/1

Shown ability before getting off the mark on the AW at Southwell (5f) last month. Positive attribute that he's gone well over C&D before, so feasible chance of being thereabouts if able to take another step forward.

Form: 956251

Melgate Magic^t1²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby

150/1

Not much impact made in two starts so far and big improvement required. Tries a tongue tie for the first time but difficult to recommend on the evidence shown so far.

Form: 95

Motagally⁸⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Hills| BF

9/2

Cost 200,000 gns as a yearling, he is a half-brother to several winners and out of a half-sister to the classy Pastoral Player. Appeals on pedigree but not so much of the evidence of his debut run when seventh of eight at Yarmouth in June. Risky.

Form: 7

Kadiz^h³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 79

3/1

Has ability and gone close a couple of times. But lacks experience of competing on an AW surface and not many excuses when fading out of contention last time out. Place claims only judging on a fair effort previously in the Super Sprint at Newbury.

Form: 262477

Queen Of Bradgate

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado

66/1

Cost just £1,000 but is related to a handful of winners between 6f and 1m2f. Yard had a winner in a similar event earlier in the week, so no forlorn hope of causing a shock result in what is in truth a very modest contest.

Whimsical Dream¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: M L W Bell

20/1

Not quite been getting home over 6f and worth a try dropping back to the minimum distance. Jockey has a good record when riding for this yard and the paring is worth a check in the betting here.

Fizzy Feet⁷

Weight: 9-4| Age: 2

T: D Loughnane J: B A Curtis

Forecasts

Blyton (7/4), Kadiz (3/1), Requited (3/1), Motagally (9/2), Fizzy Feet (6/1), Whimsical Dream (20/1), Queen Of Bradgate (66/1), Melgate Magic (150/1)

FIZZY FEET is well drawn and could be hard to peg back if she hits the gates running. Kadiz has bits and pieces of form that give her reasonable claims, so has to be feared in this company, while Requited is on the upgrade and may find this an easier option than the race he contested at Chester last time out. Blyton is another to bear in mind but he may find conceding weight a problem at this stage of his career.
