Arms Of The Angel¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: Oliver Stammers⁽⁷⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 66| BF

14/1

Taken a little time to come to hand but has shaped like this step up in trip would suit on a couple of occasions. With leading yard and no surprise to see some improvement now moving into handicaps.

Form: 355

Swansdown²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: L M Cumani| OR: 63

6/5

Filly with a nice pedigree has looked in need of the experience over shorter in her three qualifying runs. New trip for nursery debut and every chance we will see some improvement. Final runner for superb trainer who has had a wonderful career.

Form: 609

Whenapoet^p1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 62

16/1

Best effort so far came at Chelmsford two starts back when a close-up third off 1lb lower. Not so good back on turf last time and vulnerable to some improvers in here.

Form: 743738

Peters Pudding^b¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: P D Evans| OR: 62

9/1

Seven-race maiden who put up his best effort so far when running on to claim second at Wolverhampton in the first time blinkers over 7f last time. We be in the mix if he can build on that now going up in trip.

Form: 078472

Fenjal⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: H Palmer| OR: 60

7/1

Has struggled in his three starts so far but is bred to be better than this mark. Has stopped quickly a couple of times over shorter so far so this trip is a slight concern. Albeit we could see major improvement now he's been gelded.

Form: 558

(5)

Fitwood Star³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: R Winston| T: R A Teal| OR: 59

7/1

Big prices and well held on all three starts to date with Patrcik Chamings. Starts life with a new yard today ahead of nursery debut but needs to find significant improvement all the same.

Form: 797

(10)

Waltzing Belle³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 56

8/1

Has steadily improved with each run so far and done well to be placed in a couple of similar races at Kempton the last twice. Step up in trip looks almost certain to suit and could be a leading player here.

Form: 08034

George Hastings⁷⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: R Kingscote| T: K R Burke| OR: 52

25/1

Big prices and barely beaten a rival home in his three starts so far. Been gelded ahead of nursery debut and now goes up in trip but plenty of improvement needed.

Form: 090

Ocean Reach²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: David Probert| T: R J Price| OR: 49

66/1

Five starts so far and has been well beaten on each occasion. Mark dropping but remains a watching brief until showing more.

Form: 67787

Margaret J^p1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Nicola Currie| T: P S McEntee| OR: 46

33/1

Well held so far but had no chance from out the weights at Nottingham last time. This is much more suitable and she is interesting with the cheekpieces added. Could be a lively each-way player here, especially if market underestimates her chances.

Forecasts

Swansdown (6/5), Fitwood Star (7/1), Fenjal (7/1), Waltzing Belle (8/1), Fantastic Ms Fox (8/1), Peters Pudding (9/1), Arms Of The Angel (14/1), Whenapoet (16/1), George Hastings (25/1), Margaret J (33/1), Ocean Reach (66/1)

Several of these have the potential to improve now tackling nurseries, not least the well bred Swansdown who is the final runner for Luca Cumani. Waltzing Belle has improved with each start and looks like this trip will suit so will also be a player. We will take a chance that MARGARET J can show some improvement now. She was ridden to get the trip at Chlemsford two starts back and had no chance from out of the weights at Nottingham last time. She will surely end up better than her current mark of 46 and if Nicola Currie can get her settled in midfield with the cheekpieces added, she rates as an attractive each-way proposition at likely big odds.
