Beechwood Izzy⁶⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 77| D

8/1

Improved from debut to win at Thirsk and bounced back from a blip with a respectable second at Catterick in September. Interesting runner if she's as effective on this surface.

Form: 4102

Sylvia's Mother^b²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: J Tuite| OR: 75| D

5/1

AW winner at Chelmsford when losing her maiden tag and got her head back in front at Catterick last time on soft ground. More needed from her revised mark and the switch to this surface not sure to suit.

Form: 641221

Essenza⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 69

16/1

Still a maiden after 10 starts, all on turf. Has looked a shade unlucky on occasions but it's hard to imagine the switch to this surface will prove to be a source of improvement.

Form: 037280

(2)

French Twist²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 66

9/2

Has placed twice on AW at Wolverhampton and finds herself on the same mark as her latest effort. Every chance she will go on this surface given her pedigree and ideally drawn to attack here. Leading claims.

Form: 26703

(7)

No Bills⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 60

6/1

Shaped with some promise on turf but hasn't improved for the switch to handicaps/AW on recent starts and looks opposable at present.

Form: 53450

(6)

Mattymiller⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: S H James| T: D O'Meara| OR: 60

33/1

Well beaten on each of his five starts including his most recent starts on AW. Hard to see why a switch to this surface will yield any improvement and hard to fancy.

Form: 06405

(5)

Sir Ox¹³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: L Morris| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 60

5/1

Showed some promise on his first two starts before a disappointing run at Doncaster when last seen. Gelded and could improve plenty here on Fibresand/handicap debut given his pedigree.

Form: 669

(3)

Lads Order¹²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: J Fanning| T: M Appleby| OR: 57

10/3

Well beaten on each of his four starts at double figure odds. Starts out for his new yard now and they tend to do well around here so can't be ruled out.

Form: 4504

(1)

Nervous Nerys¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: M Dwyer| T: R Spencer| OR: 57

22/1

Still a maiden after seven starts (six AW) and the handicapper has been slow to relent. Very disappointing last time and the switch to Fibresand needs to spark improvement.

Form: 673479

(11)

Piste de Reflexion¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 45

100/1

Well beaten on each of her three starts, tailed off, and hard to make a case for on handicap debut here from a wide draw.

Form: 080

Forecasts

Lads Order (10/3), French Twist (9/2), Sylvia's Mother (5/1), Sir Ox (5/1), No Bills (6/1), Beechwood Izzy (8/1), Timetodock (12/1), Essenza (16/1), Nervous Nerys (22/1), Mattymiller (33/1), Piste de Reflexion (100/1)

FRENCH TWIST could be hard to peg back and the filly is bred to appreciate this surface. Given that she's already shown plenty of ability, Mark Johnston's filly could be the one to side with. Beechwood Izzy already has a win to her name and remains capable of better while Sir Ox can be forgiven his run last time and may do better now gelded.
