Scott Dobson Memorial Nursery

2YO only | Class 3 | 7f 6y | 9 Runners | Turf

(3)

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 88| BF

Placed form in three races before getting off the mark at Salisbury last month. Reappeared in a 7f nursery on heavy ground at Epsom and was held in second after holding every chance. Up 2lb, which leaves him vulnerable.

Form: 23212

(6)

Know No Limits²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 87| D

Well held in a valuable contest over 6f at Redcar last time, but had previously run well to chase home a progressive type in a 7f nursery at Chester. Has winning form on soft, but her current handicap mark provides little wriggle room.

Form: 319228

(8)

Overwrite¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83| D

Off the mark when making all to land a 7f Brighton novice contest on good to soft earlier this month. Has his first handicap outing off a stiff-looking mark, but connections are always to be feared in these types of races.

Form: 721

(5)

Lasting Legacy³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: M Stainton| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 78| D

Two fair efforts on turf before venturing on to the AW and winning nicely at 50-1 over 7f at Newcastle. Tries her luck in handicap company and it is anyone's guess how she will handle the softest ground she will have encountered.

Form: 741

Sir Charles Punch²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: G Lee| T: J G Given| OR: 77

Placed twice in five starts from 7f to an extended mile. Took a backward step when out of the frame on his handicap bow on the AW last time and has questions to answer off the same mark back on turf.

Form: 55336

Plymouth Rock^p1³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: T Eaves| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 77| D

Collected at the third time of asking in a 7f novice contest at Thirsk last month. May have found 1m stretching his stamina when unplaced on his handicap debut over 1m at Ayr on his only subsequent start. Down 2lb and shorter trip may suit.

Form: 6217

(7)

Hubert⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: S Kirk| OR: 76

Won a 6f novice event at Ffos Las in August. Gelded since and has twice run creditably in nurseries, but was behind Lost In Time when third at Epsom on his latest outing.

Form: 231334

(9)

Stroxx⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75

Has shown a fair amount of a ability on all four starts in novice company. Dips his toe in the water in a handicap and is interesting returned to 7f for the first time since his debut.

Form: 4324

(4)

One Bite⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: J F Egan| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 70

Only victory in seven starts was achieved in a 5f novice event at Hamilton in July. Safely held in three handicaps since that success, including when tried over 7f on the AW on his latest outing. Something to find despite falling handicap mark.

Form: 415565

Forecasts

Lost In Time (2/1), Overwrite (7/2), Know No Limits (5/1), Plymouth Rock (8/1), Stroxx (10/1), Lasting Legacy (12/1), Hubert (12/1), Sir Charles Punch (16/1), One Bite (20/1)

Top-weight Lost In Time will be popular with punters, but he was beaten off 2lb lower last time. Those to have run already in nurseries look vulnerable so perhaps handicap debutant STROXX may be the answer. He has shown a fair level of ability and this return to 7f for the first time since his debut may unlock some potential. Fellow handicap newcomer Overwrite may give him most to do.
