TSG Keeping It Real Nursery

Off time: 14:06 | Winning time: 1m 4.6s

(1)

Triggered¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 89

8/1

Catterick scorer on his handicap debut in August. 9lb higher here and looks to have a tough task on his hands.

Form: 651104

(2)

Concierge¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Watson| T: George Scott| OR: 88| D

13/2

Dual 5f winner in the summer, both on fast ground, including under a penalty. Went close on handicap debut last time. Up 3lb. Should be thereabouts.

Form: 311042

(6)

I Believe In You^h1²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 88| D

25/1

Dual 5f winner at Hamilton in the summer, the latter decisively under a penalty. Well held in Listed company here and back at Hamilton in a handicap last time. New mark more feasible, headgear now tried and not written off.

Form: 321100

(9)

Blyton^v¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 87| D

9/1

Beat Concierge a head (now 3lb worse off with him) at Haydock last time. Has won over 6f and on fast ground. More needed from 4lb higher, but may not have stopped improving yet.

Form: 102231

Three Card Trick³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 84| CD

3/1

Improving colt who scored by 2L over C&D (good to soft) last time in a decent novices' contest. Runner-up won next time, so form looks very solid. Initial mark probably fair and could follow-up given a bit of improvement.

Form: 2241

(5)

Princess Power³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: N Tinkler| OR: 80| D

8/1

In tremendous form with four wins from her last five over 5f-6f. Acts on the forecast ground. 6lb rise will make this tougher and she is more exposed that most, but certainly not ruled out.

Form: 611121

Kolossus²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: G Lee| T: M Dods| OR: 78

16/1

Won an Ayr novice event in August (6f, good to firm) and went close under a penalty next time. Heavy ground a probably excuse for hefty defeat on nursery debut last time. Not written off back on a sound surface from 1lb lower.

Form: 55136

(4)

Pacino²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78

20/1

Wolverhampton novice winner (6f, AW) in August. Had has excuses both starts since then. Does not appear to be stable's first string on jockey bookings. Bit to prove.

Form: 74100

(14)

Enchanted Linda²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: S De Sousa| T: R Hannon| OR: 78| D

11/2

Backed up a Ffos Las novice win (5f, good) with another under a penalty at Beverley last time. May have got in a shade lightly on her nursery debut. Very interesting.

Form: 611

(3)

Golden Circle²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 77| D

6/1

Won a Ripon novice event (5f, good) on her second start. Well held in Listed company last time, but heavy ground a possible excuse. Initial mark looks fair and back on a sound surface she enters calculations.

Form: 219

(8)

Bugler Bob²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 74

16/1

Respectable efforts in all four starts so far, but remains a maiden and this looks a tough race in which to try to shake off that tag.

Form: 2333

(12)

Big Ace^p²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| D

50/1

Won a Hamilton novice event in the spring, but has already had a number of attempts in nurseries without success. Despite some respectable efforts (including here), he has a fair bit to prove after his last two starts.

Form: 925549

(13)

Packington Lane^p1²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| D

28/1

Scored at Beverley in August, but way below that on his nursery debut last time. Headgear fitted but others preferred.

Forecasts

Three Card Trick (3/1), Enchanted Linda (11/2), Golden Circle (6/1), Concierge (13/2), Triggered (8/1), Princess Power (8/1), Blyton (9/1), Fastman (10/1), Bugler Bob (16/1), Kolossus (16/1), Pacino (20/1), I Believe In You (25/1), Packington Lane (28/1), Big Ace (50/1)

A competitive opener where plenty can be given a chance. Among those are Concierge and Blyton, while Fastman could live up to his name. Three Card Trick looks likely to be a serious player, but slight preference is for the filly ENCHANTED LINDA, who might just have sneaked in slightly under the radar from this mark. Golden Circle, Kolossus and Princess Power are also considered.
