10/3

Better than result on debut and duly much improved when easy winner at Redcar (6f, heavy) 20 days ago. Looks a useful prospect.

Gumdrop⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 84| D

9/2

Landed a 6f Chester nursery in August and acquitted himself well off 9 lb higher when third of 9 at Doncaster (7f, good) 9 days ago. Drop back to 6f won't inconvenience. Considered.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Currie| T: H Palmer| OR: 80

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 78| D

Winning debut at Chester in August. Not up to listed company at Ripon since but may fare better in these calmer waters.

Form: 18

Boogie Time^p1¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 75| BF| D

18/1

Wolverhampton novice winner in August and not seen to best effect (caught wide) when ninth of 11 in nursery back there 13 days ago. Has cheekpieces added now.

Form: 319

(2)

Ventura Vision²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 72

20/1

Fair form on both starts 10 weeks apart and the fact she's been prominent in the betting on both occasions suggests she's thought capable of better. Nursery debut.

Form: 25

Outrun The Storm¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

18/1

Twice-raced maiden. Failed to build on C&D debut third when fifth of 13 in maiden at Southwell (6f) 18 days ago but clearly still very early days for good yard. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 35

Wobwobwob⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A Keatley| OR: 62| D

2/1

Gelded and off 5 weeks, much improved when justifying market confidence in 6f Thirsk nursery on Monday. Big player under his penalty with further progress on the cards.

Form: 651

(5)

Denzil's Laughing⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 60| D

12/1

Much improved when a ready winner at Wolverhampton (6f) on Sunday. Looks well treated under a penalty for a stable which has tasted success in this race before.

Form: 95641

Forecasts

Wobwobwob (2/1), Showalong (10/3), Gumdrop (9/2), Nastase (8/1), Denzil's Laughing (12/1), Outrun The Storm (18/1), Boogie Time (18/1), The Flying Ginger (18/1), Ventura Vision (20/1), Northbound (25/1)

DENZIL'S LAUGHING had a lot in hand at Wolverhampton last weekend and can make light of a penalty and provide Keith Dalgleish with a third win in this race since 2013. The same owner's Wobwobwob is another who arrives on the back of a comfortable win in recent days and heads the dangers along with Showalong, who looked useful when bolting up at Redcar last month.
