Gallaside³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 89| C

7/1

Winner of his last three starts, showing a good attitude in the process when rallying to score at Newcastle last time out. Upped in trip but handles the ground and has a course win to his name, so plenty going for him in the quest for a four-timer.

Form: 33111

Dubai Souq^p1³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 85| BF

7/2

Easy winner at Wolverhampton in August but then a most disappointing favourite at Kempton last time out, last of five despite being sent off odds-on. Bit to prove after that but early days, and ground may suit.

Form: 4315

Flylikeaneagle²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 85

10/1

Winner of two of his four starts, didn't need to improve to make the most of an easy opportunity at Beverley last time but did the job well. Ground still a question mark after he was beaten on it at Hamilton in August, but chances all the same.

Form: 2121

Green Book¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: P Hanagan| T: B Ellison| OR: 76

11/2

Went close over a mile here in August (good to soft) but then took a step backwards when well beaten at Pontefract last time. Looked very much in need of a step up in trip there, so cloud do better today, and not discounted.

Form: 823

(7)

Island Storm¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: H Main| OR: 76

25/1

Winner at Newcaslte last time out, although that was only a modest affair and he didn't need to improve to take it. Should appreciate the step up in trip but may need to, and this ground an unknown too. Others preferred.

Form: 731

(3)

Walkonby¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Nathan Evans| T: M R Channon| OR: 73

7/1

Improving steadily with each start and made it three wins from four starts with a game win at Pontefract last time. Was slowly away there, a trait she doesn't need to repeat here, and this ground will be the slowest she's raced on.

Form: 681131

(6)

Duke Of Condicote¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁵⁾| T: A King| OR: 73

11/4

Has improved a little with each start and caught the eye with a never-nearer fifth at Goodwood last time, staying on under tender handling. Likely to improve on nursery debut today and yard do get a few winners at this track.

Form: 065

(2)

Magna Moralia³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 71

20/1

Won a little race at Beverley in August but was well beaten on nursery debut at Thirsk on latest start. Upped in trip and this ground an unknown too, so plenty of questions to answer.

Form: 4718

(9)

Sky Flyer⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: J Quinn| T: R M Beckett| OR: 71

14/1

Not shown a great lot in three starts but it was a little better at Epsom last time, has been gelded since then and this step up in trip should help. Not discounted, especially if there's a bit of money around for him. Interesting.

Form: 054

Forecasts

Duke Of Condicote (11/4), Dubai Souq (7/2), Green Book (11/2), Walkonby (7/1), Gallaside (7/1), Flylikeaneagle (10/1), Sky Flyer (14/1), Magna Moralia (20/1), Island Storm (25/1)

Down the foot of the handicap Sky Flyer needs a market check on his nursery debut as he could easily leave his form behind now he's been gelded and handicapped. Flylikeaneagle brings some solid form to the table but there is a slight question over whether this ground is what he wants, and a chance is taken on DUKE OF CONDICOTE on nursery debut today. He was a big eyecatcher at Goodwood and could improve plenty today. Gallaside has his share of weight but that's deserved, and he cannot be dismissed.
