Genever Dragon^p1⁷⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 74

14/1

Has not had it easy in novice/maidens so far. Good effort last time at Doncaster (7f, soft). Now gelded and cheekpieces go on. Also up in trip and, as a potential improver, could go close.

Form: 773

(11)

Out Of Breath²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 74| BF

20/1

Coming along gradually and again ran well when second at Redcar latest (1m, good). Up another 3lb here, so needs to pull out more. Unproven on soft.

Form: 823152

(1)

Magna Moralia¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 72

5/4

Won a Beverley maiden in August (good). Ran well on soft at Nottingham (1m2f) last time out, and not ruled out from this mark.

Form: 47182

(3)

Breguet Boy⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁵⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 71| D

7/1

Got the better of Out Of Breath when winning at Redcar last month (1m, good; now 1lb worse off). Held in a better race at York last time, but possibilities back in this grade, if handling soft.

Form: 45417

(2)

Guipure¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 68

10/1

Going the right way and ran well on nursery debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last time. 4lb rise for that effort, open to improvement and could be a player if acting on soft.

Form: 6682

(4)

Lawaa^p1²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

28/1

Made a promising debut at Epsom (7f, good) in July, but has not yet gone on from that. Well held last time out at Ripon (1m, good to soft) and has a bit to prove on this ground. Cheekpieces fitted.

Form: 3054

(5)

Ambyfaeirvine^v⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: D Allan| T: I Furtado| OR: 65| C

5/1

1-10, having scored here (6f, good to firm) in July, when 5lb lower. Ran well in first-time visor at Nottingham latest (1m½f heavy). Needs to pull out more, but not ruled out.

Form: 340602

(10)

Hooroo¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 64

28/1

Improved effort when making nursery debut at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in August; bit of a backward step at Southwell (1m, AW) last time, but still time on his side. Bit to prove on soft.

Form: 58663

(9)

Maximilius¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 61

9/1

Has a couple of promising Chepstow runs to his name, but dipped some way below that form at Newmarket last time. Bit to prove from this mark on his nursery debut.

Form: 659

(7)

El Jefe¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: B Ellison| OR: 55

20/1

Well beaten in all three runs and impossible to recommend him just yet.

Form: 006

(6)

Comvida^b¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: J Quinn| T: H Palmer| OR: 52

25/1

Moderate form so far, but best run came last time (7f, good to soft) in first-time blinkers, when not beaten far. 8lb higher today, but still out of the handicap, so much more needed.

Form: 97784

Forecasts

Magna Moralia (5/4), Ambyfaeirvine (5/1), Breguet Boy (7/1), Maximilius (9/1), Guipure (10/1), Genever Dragon (14/1), El Jefe (20/1), Out Of Breath (20/1), Comvida (25/1), Hooroo (28/1), Lawaa (28/1)

Ambyfaeirvine looks a player now back at this track and having proved he handles cut last time, while Guipure looks to be a potential improver having shown up well on her first run in this sphere. However, GENEVER DRAGON now makes his nursery debut from a mark that looks workable and with the potential for improvement now upped in trip. He gets the vote, with Magna Moralia a potential danger.
