10/1

yet to win in eight starts and is starting to look a little difficult. Virtually refused to race when the stalls opened at Lingfield last week and hard to trust at present.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mathers| T: A West| OR: 66

Spirit Of May⁶⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: R A Teal| OR: 65

11/1

Finished a good second over 5½f at Bath (firm) on debut in May but really hasn't progressed from that. Well held in a couple of nurseries the last twice and despite falling mark, makes limited appeal.

Form: 24369

Lordsbridge Boy⁶⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: D K Ivory| OR: 65

9/2

Big prices on all three starts in novice company but posted improved figures with each start. Opening mark not overly generous but further improvement now tackling nurseries would not surprise.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: S C Williams| OR: 63| D

8/1

Showed a good battling attitude to score on nursery debut at Kempton (6f). Got outpaced here dropped to 5f last time and a return to this trip will help from just 3lb higher than the Kempton success.

The Galla Girl^h³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁷⁾| T: D P Quinn| OR: 63| D

16/1

Sprang a surprise at long odds when running on well to win a seller on her second start. Struggled in novice company the last twice and needs to improve on those efforts on nursery debut.

Lonimoss Bareliere⁹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 59

25/1

Well held in three qualifying runs including on the Fibresand at Southwell last time. Not a bad mark for nursery debut but draw could have been kinder. Likely to improve.

Valley Belle^v¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: P S McEntee| OR: 58| CD

9/4

Showed much improved form on debut for this stable when wining eased down here over C&D two weeks ago. Slapped with a 9lb rise for that win but worth every ounce and leading contender once again.

Ifyoudontmind³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: David Probert| T: Rae Guest| OR: 51

7/2

May have needed latest (behind Kingi Compton) and, given the support he attracted on debut, may prove far better than we have seen. One to check in the market now stepping up in trip.

Form: 7654

Wye Bother^t²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: N Mackay| T: J M Bradley| OR: 47

50/1

A little promise on debut but has run poorly in all starts since. Tailed off at Kempton last time and best watched.

Form: 008900

Loving Life⁹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-1| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 45

25/1

Big prices and not shown a great deal in three starts so far. Type to improve for switch to nurseries though and drops back a furlong in trip. Market check needed.

Valley Belle (9/4), Ifyoudontmind (7/2), Lordsbridge Boy (9/2), Capala (6/1), Griggy (6/1), Dandy Lad (7/1), Hanakotoba (8/1), Nguni (8/1), London Rock (10/1), Spirit Of May (11/1), The Galla Girl (16/1), Loving Life (25/1), Lonimoss Bareliere (25/1), Wye Bother (50/1)

There could be some improvement to come from a few of these on nursery debut but they may all be playing second fiddle to VALLEY BELLE who bolted up here on stable debut last time. She has a 9lb rise to contend with but she was so dominant last time that she can go in again. Lordsbridge Boy and Lonimoss Bareliere both make plenty appeal as the main dangers.
