Sandridge Lad²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J Ryan| OR: 66

7/1

Has shown some signs of ability and his initial AW run is also his nursery debut. Down in grade and up in trip so improvement is to be expected.

So Hi Class^b1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: M M Monaghan⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 66

11/2

Best effort came on sole Polytrack start when positively ridden. Failed to handle the undulations at Epsom last time and blinkers employed now.

Form: 0740

Smart Illusion¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: M Harley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 66| D

15/8

Made all to land a weak Musselburgh nursery but clearly progressing and suited to an easy right-handed track. Makes AW debut and up 5lb in the weights.

Anandita^p1¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 65

9/2

Bred for speed but has been shaping as though she is ready to go this far. Backed last time on nursery debut and cheekpieces fitted here.

Rita's Folly³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: A Carson| OR: 64

6/1

Not beaten too far by useful winners on her first two starts, but others around her have not achieved much. Poorly drawn last time and she remains hard to evaluate. Rider 5-15 for the yard so one to watch in the ring.

Riverwing⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: George Downing| T: M R Channon| OR: 61

10/1

Has been strongly supported for both starts in nurseries. The better effort came last week in a five-runner affair at Brighton when dropped back to 6f. Finished the race off nicely that day and worth another chance back at this trip

Medoras Childe²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: H Main| OR: 60

16/1

Has produced three ordinary efforts so far at lengthy odds. Up in trip for handicap debut, but stable are just 1-51 with juveniles over the past five seasons.

Penfriend¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Blanshard| OR: 55

40/1

Has failed to distinguish herself in three novice auction events but nurseries should see her in a better light.

50/1

Well beaten in four starts so far most recently over 6f at Windsor (good) earlier this month. Back up in trip on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Smart Illusion (15/8), Stellar Comet (4/1), Anandita (9/2), So Hi Class (11/2), Rita's Folly (6/1), Camachess (6/1), Sandridge Lad (7/1), Riverwing (10/1), Medoras Childe (16/1), Penfriend (40/1), Farump (50/1)

Smart Illusion has tried to dictate matters from the front before turning the race into a sprint for his last two starts. The tactics reaped dividends at Muselburgh but he will not have matters all his own way here. CAMACHESS set a good gallop at Sandown last time only to be overhauled by the red hot favourite and this drop in grade plus the booking of Rossa Ryan makes her an attractive option. Anandita and Stellar Comet are open to improvement, whilst a market move for Rita's Folly would need to be noted.
