Positive Light¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 60

11/1

Stable always respected with runners in nurseries and there is more come from this daughter of the Group-placed Sharplaw Star given the eye-catching way she stayed on at Kempton last time. At least another furlong might suit better, though.

Form: 6643

Ma Boy Harris¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 60

12/1

Out of a 6f winner so the step up to this trip shouldn't be too much of an issue; the switch to the Tapeta also suited last time and the colt makes plenty of appeal with his rider's 3lb claim coming in very handy. Shortlisted.

Form: 3443

Treaty Of Dingle²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Charlie Bennett| T: H Morrison| OR: 60

20/1

Well-bred but only modest form posted in three qualifying runs for the handicap mark; the winner of her latest start was placed in a Listed race at York but this filly was well held on that occasion and needs a big step forward on her Kempton form.

Form: 665

Royal Lightning^p1⁸¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J G Given| OR: 59

33/1

Run consistently in three previous races and starts out in handicaps from a workable mark. Wears cheekpieces for the first time but coped well enough on her first try over 6f to expect she can find a little more. Worth a betting check.

Form: 454

Street Life^b¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 59

14/1

Plenty of winners in his bloodlines and created a favourable impression when third on debut in a handicap (5f, heavy) at Carlisle earlier this month. More needed now he's upped in trip and tried on Tapeta for the first time, though.

Form: 7583

Red Jasper¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Liam Jones| T: M Appleby| OR: 59

3/1

Learned sufficiently from his first three runs to put in a much improved effort on handicap debut at Kempton 11 days ago; finished 6L ahead of Positive Light, who made a slow start but ran on for a well held third. Solid candidate again this time.

Form: 6452

(8)

Javea Magic^p⁴⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 57

9/1

Hasn't made much progress and was well beaten in the first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut last month; dropped 3lb in the BHA ratings and gelded since that last run; has a lot to prove.

Form: 7357

(9)

Sombra De Mollys²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: B Ellison| OR: 55

33/1

Modest in three starts in novice company and has a good bit to prove now starting out in handicaps. Her dam won over this trip as a youngster but the filly needs to eclipse the form she's shown so far if she's going to make any sort of impact.

Form: 596

Ice Skate¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 50| BF

10/1

Already having her eighth start since her introduction in April and the best she's managed was a well held third at Ripon over 5f last month (had Javea Magic behind on that occasion). Form at 6f has been poor and more is needed on her AW debut.

Form: 776376

Two Hearts⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 49

7/4

Consistent in low-key races on turf and not beaten far in a seller at Ripon on Bank Holiday Monday. That was his first attempt over 6f and possible there's more to come. The betting can guide on his Tapeta debut.

Form: 863322

(5)

Port Noir^t¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: J P Fahy| T: G Harris| OR: 47

12/1

Posted her best effort since joining her current yard when fourth of twelve at (7f) Kempton 16 days ago. The tongue tie helped that day and this drop in trip can also assist; pedigree suggests she can flourish on an AW surface. One to bear in mind.

Forecasts

Two Hearts (7/4), Red Jasper (3/1), Javea Magic (9/1), Ice Skate (10/1), Positive Light (11/1), Port Noir (12/1), Ma Boy Harris (12/1), Street Life (14/1), Mumsbirthdaygirl (16/1), Treaty Of Dingle (20/1), Sombra De Mollys (33/1), Royal Lightning (33/1), Shaun's Delight (33/1)

RED JASPER has a slight edge in terms of experience over the trip and can confirm the form with Positive Light now he gets weight from his rival from last time out. Dangers include: Ma Boy Harris, who ran well here on his handicap debut and is worth a try over this trip. He could be thereabouts. Others to bear in mind are handicap debutante, Royal Lightning, who can also figure strongly if he improves over the distance and builds on his three runs in novice company; Two Hearts, who is another to consider, as he ran well in a seller at Ripon on Monday and has some scope to improve; while Shaun's Delight is a value option to at least make the frame.
