Arsonist¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 76| BF| D

11/4

Confirmed debut promise when winning novice at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last month. Failed to progress again as anticipated when last of 4 (Haseef third) in AW nursery since but still early days.

Form: 314

Royal Musketeer²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 75

11/2

Built on debut fourth when shading tight finish at Chelmsford (6f) 20 days ago. Goes up to 7f for nursery debut. Could well have more to offer.

Form: 41

(3)

El Patron²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: D Loughnane| OR: 74

3/1

Showed plenty in a deep race at Ascot on debut and found only one too good at Chepstow (6f) a week later. Ridden too aggressively on York nursery debut and it's worth forgiving that.

Form: 528

(6)

Cirrus²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 73

13/2

Fair performer who wasn't disgraced when fourth on his 6f Chelmsford nursery debut 20 days ago but will need to find a bit of improvement from somewhere now stepping back up to 7f.

Form: 20404

Mojandil²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: B J Meehan| OR: 72| BF

9/2

Promising start when third at Chepstow and had excuses (missed break and caught too far back) when well behind the reopposing Royal Musketeer at Chelmsford since. Retains potential now handicapping.

Form: 36

66/1

Showed more than previously when fourth of 11 in 7f Haydock novice (good, 50/1) 31 days ago. Makes handicap debut. One of 3 runners from his stable.

Form: 694

Study The Stars⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Liam Keniry| T: S Kirk| OR: 63

28/1

Promise on each of his first 3 starts but he needs to shrug off a poor on his Goodwood nursery debut in July, albeit that was a Class 2 event.

Form: 6330

Forecasts

Arsonist (11/4), El Patron (3/1), Mojandil (9/2), Haseef (9/2), Royal Musketeer (11/2), Cirrus (13/2), Storm Dreamer (15/2), Bannergirl (12/1), Study The Stars (28/1), Bella Notte (66/1)

MOJANDIL was comfortably held by Royal Musketeer at Chelmsford last time but he did have excuses and looks an interesting one for nurseries based on his encouraging opening effort at Chepstow. Arsonist is better than he showed when last of 4 on his recent nursery debut and is also respected.
