Twice-raced maiden. Second of 6 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 9/4) 19 days ago. No reason why she won't make her mark now tackling nurseries.

Showcasing filly who failed to improve on debut form when fourth of 7 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 12/1) 30 days ago. Likely to improve as she gains further experience.

Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 8 in nursery at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 11/4) 21 days ago. Has to be taken seriously on that evidence.

16/1
Winner at Lingfield (5f) in June. Ran up to best when creditable fourth of 8 in nursery (28/1) at Goodwood (6f, firm) 31 days ago, nearest finish. Step up to 7f worth exploring on that evidence.

Thrice-raced maiden. 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 8 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) 31 days ago. Needs to find some improvement for the switch to nurseries.

9/2
£92,000 yearling, Equiano colt. Modest form at best on 2 of his 3 starts to date, seventh in a C&D maiden earlier this month. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping at least.

Forecasts

Valorant (9/2), Cider Apple (9/2), Bagara (9/2), Verbena (5/1), Blue Hero (5/1), Envega (8/1), Chica Bella (14/1), May She Shine (14/1), Risque (16/1), Dream Chaser (20/1), Kodiac Brown Bear (22/1)

Verdict

BLUE HERO has shown promise both starts to date, shaping a bit better than the distance beaten suggests when third at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago. He's open to further progress and earns the vote equipped with a first-time visor. Cider Apple, who ran well at Leicester herself recently, and Valorant are feared most.

  1. BLUE HERO (CAN)
  2. CIDER APPLE
