Il Maestro⁵⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 60

5/1

Improvement hasn't been forthcoming since gelded and switched to nurseries; finished a weakening 12th of 15 at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 58 days ago; Atzeni a notable booking; can the switch to the AW offer assistance?

Form: 44770

Jungle Boogaloo^h1⁶⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁷⁾| T: Andi Brown| OR: 58

14/1

Bungle Inthejungle filly; has seemingly regressed since making a mildly encouraging debut at Windsor (5f, good) in May; hooded for AW/handicap debut.

Form: 699

(14)

Simply Susan¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 58

10/1

Runner-up on each of her first two starts at Bath (5f-5½f, firm); didn't appear to stay the 7f trip at Brighton (fourth of six) last month; poorly drawn, but rates as a possible contender on AW/handicap debut.

Form: 224

(8)

Two Hearts⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 57| D

1/1

Nothing if not consistent since July (332212); all-out winner on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (6f) in August; perfectly fair second (from this mark) to Solemn Pledge at Redcar (6f, good) last week; major chance in a desperately weak nursery.

Form: 332212

(9)

Last Date⁴⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: D C Costello| T: I Furtado| OR: 54

40/1

Big prices on all three starts to date (5f-6f), finishing last of all in two of those races; very lowly-rated, but can make absolutely no appeal on nursery debut.

Form: 057

(11)

Sir Rodneyredblood²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: A McCarthy| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 52

25/1

Six-race maiden; faded and beaten 3L when third to Dreamy Rascal at Kempton (6f) on his penultimate start; highly likely to go off hard and fast from a wide draw, and that makes him vulnerable.

Form: 005539

(6)

Sweet Embrace⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 51

33/1

Failed to build positively upon a fair nursery debut (5f, Musselburgh) when finishing last of twelve to Solemn Pledge (today's rival Two Hearts second) at Redcar last week; look elsewhere.

Form: 49840

(12)

Star Of St Louis¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: D P Quinn| OR: 48

20/1

A fraction better when a weakening sixth of 12 on nursery debut at Kempton (7f) last month, albeit was hardly screaming future winner either; poorly drawn.

Form: 0866

(2)

Jochi Khan⁷²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: R Havlin| T: M Moubarak| OR: 47

10/1

$65,000 yearling; no real positives to take from his three starts to date (5f-6f); therefore, it'll come as a major surprise if he's the solution on handicap debut.

Form: 709

(1)

Lisbeth Salander²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: R Spencer| OR: 45

14/1

Essentially modest so far; drops back in trip for handicap debut after finishing a never dangerous eighth of ten to Love Destiny here (7f) three weeks ago; retains some minor scope for improvement.

Form: 098

(4)

Sassy Lassy^p1¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 45

20/1

Soundly beaten on all three starts (5f), including at odds of 40-1 at Pontefract a fortnight ago; tackles a new trip wearing first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut.

Form: 778

(10)

Red Hottie³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

14/1

Comfortably out of her depth so far (0-3) and this race is a far more realistic assignment; that said, it would take a brave and intrepid punter to be placing her on any shortlist on handicap debut.

Form: 708

(7)

Goodman Square²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Nicola Currie| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45

50/1

Toiled on her first three starts, faring precious little better on Chepstow nursery debut (5f, good to soft); be more than happy to look elsewhere for the likely winner.

Form: 0606

A desperately weak nursery, so much so, it certainly wouldn't be stretching the imagination to suggest that there can't have been too many more uninspiring juvenile contests this year. A list of potential candidates is a very short one indeed, with enthusiasm for Simply Susan sadly tempered by a wide draw (stall 14). Therefore, it's tough to look beyond the admirably consistent TWO HEARTS who produced a career best performance in defeat (second) off this mark at Redcar last week.
