Mutazawwed²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-12| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 87

9/2

Winner of 6f Lingfield maiden in June and went close on nursery debut at Hamilton last month. Disappointing last time, but yard has won this race 3 times since 2011 and step up to 7f should help.

Form: 51327

Praise Of Shadows^t²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Bentley| T: M Botti| OR: 82| CD

7/2

Looked good when winning first time out over C&D. Quick turnaround/steep rise in class were plausible excuses for heavy defeat in York Group 3 since, and worth another chance on this nursery debut.

Form: 16

Bonnyrigg²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 76

5/2

Confirmed debut promise when landing a 6f Newmarket maiden in June. Ridden too aggressively on subsequent nursery bow upped to this trip at York and he remains with potential.

Form: 219

Paws For Thought³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 75

6/1

Bettered debut effort when runner-up in 7f Chepstow maiden in July. Not disgraced pitched into a nursery at Haydock last time, but looks vulnerable all the same.

Form: 326

Samara Bay²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74| D

8/1

Much improved since switched to nurseries, successful at Catterick on 2 of her last 3 starts, but more will be needed off this revised mark. Engaged 1.40 Doncaster Thursday.

Form: 094101

Blowing Wind¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 71

9/2

Failed to build on debut promise at Hamilton last month, but step firmly back in the right direction when fifth in Ripon listed race (6f) 11 days ago. Big player now pitched into a nursery.

Form: 445

(7)

Velocistar^h1²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: R Ffrench| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 48

200/1

Little impact in 4 starts to date and mountain to climb from 13 lb out of the weights. Hood applied.

Form: 7586

Forecasts

Bonnyrigg (5/2), Praise Of Shadows (7/2), Blowing Wind (9/2), Mutazawwed (9/2), Paws For Thought (6/1), Samara Bay (8/1), Velocistar (200/1)

On the back of his latest effort in listed company at Ripon, BLOWING WIND's prospects look very bright indeed now making the switch to a nursery off what may prove to be a lenient mark. It's best to draw a line through Bonnyrigg's York run and he is next on the list ahead of Mutazawwed and Praise of Shadows.
