Magical Fireworks Spectacular Here On Saturday Nursery

Off time: 17:31 | Winning time: 1m 26.77s

(13)

Divine Connection¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 60

9/1

Better effort in nurseries when 2¾L fifth of 13 to Souter Johnnie over 1m here last time, and unlucky not to have finished closer after meeting trouble. In lesser company here, and could go well if able to overcome a wide draw.

Form: 66765

Bryn Du^t¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W J Haggas| OR: 59

11/8

Attracted support and much improved when 1¾L third of 13 to Idoapologise in a 7f nursery at Newcastle last time. Tongue tie he wore for first time there is retained, and top jockey booked, so another good run is anticipated.

Form: 55703

(5)

Bavardages¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 59

8/1

Showed a bit on Fibresand debut, and highly tried when soundly beaten next time. Disappointing at Brighton recently, though, and needs to bounce back. Perhaps return to AW will help in that regard.

Form: 505

(4)

Kuwaity^b1²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Moubarak| OR: 59

10/1

Signs of ability on first two starts, and soft ground a possible excuse for a poor run at Brighton. Blinkers fitted for all-weather/nursery debut, and no surprise to see him make a bigger impact.

Form: 450

(9)

Sweet Sixteen^b¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 59

25/1

Yet to build on the promise of her debut third at Lingfield, looking quirky at times. Pulled too hard in blinkers on nursery bow at Nottingham, and needs to settle better to take advantage of a fair mark.

Form: 3468

(3)

Hiconic¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: A M Hales| OR: 57

14/1

Limited impact in nurseries since joining current yard, although not seen to best effect when eighth of 13 to Souter Johnnie over 1m here last time. Handicapper has given him a lifeline with a 4lb drop.

Form: 72378

(10)

Roman's Empress^p1³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 54

33/1

Regressive form in qualifying runs, and didn't do enough when seventh of 13 to Breguet Boy in a nursery at Redcar last time to make her of interest here. Cheekpieces tried after that modest showing.

Form: 7607

(7)

Poetic Lilly⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: D Menuisier| OR: 53

20/1

Just poor form in a maiden and two novice events, but in good hands, and while handicapper has taken no chances, she needs a market check now handicapping.

Form: 578

(1)

Mr Kodi¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: P D Evans| OR: 53

9/1

Not disgraced on his first two starts in nurseries at Lingfield, and probably didn't stay when well beaten over 1m here last time. Visor he's worn the last twice left off now.

Form: 460550

(8)

Buy Nice Not Twice⁴⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 51| BF

12/1

Beaten 5L or more in each of three nursery outings, all off the same mark. Dropped 2lb since a fair fourth at Chelmsford on last of those, but still needs to do better to get involved in the finish.

Form: 747574

(2)

Loretta Lass⁷⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: A West| OR: 50

25/1

Soundly beaten on first two starts in maidens, and fared little better despite having the run of things in a 1m novice auction at Lingfield on her latest start. Must improve markedly to get involved.

Form: 895

(12)

Flashy Flyer²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 49

50/1

Has yet to finish with 10L of the winner in four starts, although was facing a very stiff task on return from a break at Newmarket last time. This more realistic, but still difficult to be too positive.

Form: 0840

(6)

Candid^p¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Nicola Currie| T: J G Portman| OR: 48

14/1

No solid form on turf, and tailed off on nursery debut, but fared much better when dropped to selling company with cheekpieces fitted at Wolverhampton (6f) last time. Not certain to appreciate longer trip here, however.

Form: 86904

Forecasts

Bryn Du (11/8), Bavardages (8/1), Divine Connection (9/1), Mr Kodi (9/1), Kuwaity (10/1), Buy Nice Not Twice (12/1), Hiconic (14/1), Candid (14/1), Jochi Khan (14/1), Poetic Lilly (20/1), Loretta Lass (25/1), Sweet Sixteen (25/1), Roman's Empress (33/1), Flashy Flyer (50/1)

BRYN DU looks the likeliest winner having shown improved form over this trip at Newcastle last time, and the form seems solid. Divine Connection looked unlucky here last time, and has an easier task on paper, so is respected, as is Hiconic, who was behind Jonathan Portman's charge here last time, but has been given a chance by the handicapper. Divine Connection's stablemate Candid could go also well at a price.
