Nananita¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 62

9/2

Did not show any marked improvement on nursery debut, although she was stuck wide throughout. Down another couple of pounds but still hard to see her defying topweight.

Form: 9353

Thegreyvtrain⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: Toby Eley⁽⁷⁾| T: R Harris| OR: 61

40/1

Has shown plenty of speed on a couple of occasions on AW tracks. Lost her chance when hampered at the start last week. Down to a level where she has a chance to shine if getting an uncontested lead.

Sylvia's Mother^v²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Watson⁽³⁾| T: J Tuite| OR: 61| D

13/2

Showed promise here on nursery debut and then dominated weaker opposition at Chelmsford. Had more in hand than the official verdict and the handicapper has been generous. A 3lb rise is offset by top claimer's allowance.

Form: 60641

Running Tide^b1²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 58

10/1

Had shown plenty of pace in better company ahead of his nursery debut when backed to beat Sylvia's Mother. Stumbled out of the stalls that day and he was never able to land a blow. Blinkers now replace cheekpieces.

Wye Bother¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J M Bradley| OR: 55

66/1

Has finished last on three latest starts including last month's nursery debut. Needs to rediscover her debut form to have any chance.

Form: 50008

Willa's Wish³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55

8/1

Beaten by wide margins on all three starts to date. Has a chance to show more now handicapping and with stable in such good form.

Form: 740

Tisneverending^h1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: L P Keniry| T: J S Moore| OR: 54

33/1

Has been plying her trade in France without success. Best effort on these shores came at Bath in July and she looks held by Thegreyvtrain judged on that effort.

Form: 838068

Valentino Sunrise⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 54

4/1

Has been busy in recent weeks over longer trips than this. Beaten six times off this mark or lower so up against it this afternoon.

Form: 943234

Barbegazi^b1⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: H Morrison| OR: 54

5/1

Well in rear on all four starts including last month's nursery debut. Drops to the minimum trip and blinkers applied this time.

Form: 0770

Glamorous Crescent²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 53

20/1

Stimulation filly out of a winning half-sister to owners' Group 3 5f winner Just Glamorous. The speed in the pedigree has not been evident thus far, but she may show more now handicapping at this trip.

Form: 6096

(3)

Kg Passion^v¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: H Crouch| T: P D Evans| OR: 52

16/1

Exposed as a moderate performer, and while she ran just about her best race when second in a Wolverhampton nursery last time, she was still beaten 6L by the winner, and has place claims at best here.

Form: 979932

(11)

Dotty Grand^p1³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 52

7/1

Has only shown a modest level of ability in three starts. No surprise to see her show more on handicap debut over this trip and with cheekpieces fitted.

Form: 080

(8)

Maddfourmaggy^h1²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: R Ffrench| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 46

25/1

Stepped up last time on nursery debut despite hanging for much of the trip. Hood fitted now to correct that and so she cannot be discounted.

Form: 8985

(10)

Nagging Doubt^p1²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Joey Haynes| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

80/1

Cheap purchase has finished last on each start. Hard to see cheekpieces making that much difference from 12lb out of the weights.

Form: 0600

Forecasts

Valentino Sunrise (4/1), Nananita (9/2), Barbegazi (5/1), Sylvia's Mother (13/2), Dotty Grand (7/1), Willa's Wish (8/1), Running Tide (10/1), Kg Passion (16/1), Glamorous Crescent (20/1), Maddfourmaggy (25/1), Tisneverending (33/1), Thegreyvtrain (40/1), Wye Bother (66/1), Nagging Doubt (80/1)

A few of these, notably Dotty Grand, Glamourous Crescent and Willa's Wish, should improve considerably on their nursery debuts. Madfourmaggy and Running Tide had excuses on their first runs in handicaps, but Nananita and Valentino Sunrise have difficult tasks at the weights. SYLVIA'S MOTHER has improved since going handicapping and idled in front when dominating her rivals at Chelmsford. She looked value for more than the 3lb she has been raised and that can be cancelled out by Jason Watson's valuable claim.
