Sneaky¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 72| BF

6/1

Looked rather one paced when beaten favourite at Windsor last time but has ability and hails from a yard having a tremendous season, especially with it's juveniles.

Form: 52P2

Infinite Grace⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70| D

15/8

Landed Beverley 5f novice auction stakes in May before outclassed in listed event at York and failed to handle soft ground time after at Catterick. Good nursery debut when second at Pontefract over 6f latest and drop back should not be an issue.

Form: 21082

Dandizette¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁵⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 69| D

3/1

Probably unsuited by Chester last time but not disgraced when close last of five. Ran on bravely to score at Hamilton time before having shown fair form previously. Eased 1lb and top apprentice claims 5lb more, so looks interesting.

Form: 24315

War of Clans⁶²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 63

12/1

Hinted at ability in each of his three runs to date and returns now having been gelded. Handicap bow off workable mark and may not be far away.

Form: 376

Dancinginthesand^p1¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 60

12/1

First-time cheekpieces applied and has run well at both attempts at this trip having failed to stay 6f in between. Jockey has 12% strike rate on yard's juveniles so is not without a chance.

Form: 393

(3)

Javea Magic^p1¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 60

7/1

Mixed form messages from three starts so far and makes handicap bow back at 5f. Cheekpieces applied for first time, but on balance needs to improve to score.

Form: 735

Queens Blade⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59

16/1

Three fairly quick runs prior to 40-day break and returns now on handicap bow off lowly mark. Shrewd yard always respected but needs to do better than we've seen so far to be in the shake-up.

Form: 459

Ice Skate²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 53

20/1

Stable companion of Queens Blade. Hasn't shown much in four starts, including twice over C&D where beat a total of one horse home. Very hard to enthuse over despite her light weight.

Form: 0776

Forecasts

Infinite Grace (15/8), Dandizette (3/1), Sneaky (6/1), Javea Magic (7/1), War of Clans (12/1), Dancinginthesand (12/1), Queens Blade (16/1), Ice Skate (20/1)

A typically tricky nursery but the signs are positive that DANDIZETTE can go well with a top apprentice booked to claim 5lb. The fill appeared ill-at-ease at Chester last time and is better judged on her previous Hamilton success. Sneaky will be a popular choice for her in-form yard and can run well under top weight, and Infinite Grace has decent claims back at the minimum trip. Dancinginthesand is respected, and it would be no surprise to see handicap debutant War Of Clans do better having been gelded.
