11/4

Off the mark in 5f Ripon maiden in July and performed with credit on subsequent nursery debut at York (6f). Return to this trip no bad thing and needs considering.

Ready Freddie Go²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P Hanagan| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 81| D

6/1

Speedy type who is bidding for the hat-trick following victories from the front at Musselburgh and Wolverhampton. Mark for this nursery debut looks fair and he's not discounted.

Form: 62311

Dark Illusion²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 79| D

13/2

Made it third time lucky when taking a 9-runner Bath maiden last month. Entirely possible that he'll have more to offer now pitched into a nursery, so he's a must for the shortlist.

Riffaa Wonder³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: R Hannon| OR: 78| D

5/4

Built on debut promise when cosily accounting for 9 rivals in 5f Thirsk novice. Remains open to improvement and this opening mark looks fair.

Form: 51

Zaman Jameel⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 76| BF

17/2

Encouraging signs on York debut and stepped up on that when third in 5f Pontefract maiden. However, more needed now making the switch to a nursery.

Forecasts

Riffaa Wonder (5/4), Selected (11/4), Ready Freddie Go (6/1), Dark Illusion (13/2), Zaman Jameel (17/2), Macho Pride (10/1)

Ready preference is for RIFFAA WONDER, who did the job well at Thirsk and should have more to offer now pitched into a nursery. Selected was third in a competitive race at York last time and may emerge as the main danger. That said, Dark Illusion boasts an appealing profile and the hat-trick seeking Ready Freddie Go is entitled to respect, too.
