Host²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 67

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in nursery (17/2) at Sandown (5f, good) 27 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Significantly up in trip. Worth another chance.

Form: 56624

Sayifyouwill⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: T P Queally| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 67

18/1

Found progress coming to a halt when seventh of 8 on her nursery debut at Goodwood (6f, firm, 22/1) 49 days ago. Eased 2 lb now switched to polytrack but has work to do.

Form: 5447

Express Power¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: T Ward| OR: 64

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 14 in novice event (20/1) at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. His best effort came on the all-weather, so could get back on track now switching to handicaps.

Form: 758

Full Marks^v1³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 64

15/2

Left debut form behind when third in 7f Lingfield maiden in July. Failed by a long chalk to repeat that effort at Beverley but at least gets a crack at handicaps now fitted with a visor.

Form: 937

(3)

Light Wakeup⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Botti| OR: 62

4/1

Showed a lot more than on debut when third of 10 in novice event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 16/1) 42 days ago, plugging on. Opening mark looks fair.

Form: 63

(6)

Alpine Springs³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Hayley Turner| T: M L W Bell| OR: 62| BF

11/2

Looked on a fair opening mark but ran below her previous form when third of 6 on nursery debut at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Still early days.

Form: 423

Daphne May²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: A West| OR: 61

13/2

Ran to a similar level as on debut when third of 9 in novice event at Redcar (7f, heavy, 5/1) 20 days ago. That wasn't a strong race by any means, though.

Form: 43

Pump It Up^p1³⁴

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 22/1, tenth of 11 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Makes handicap debut fitted with first-time cheekpieces but others preferred.

Form: 590

Dark Alibi³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: J A Osborne| OR: 45

Forecasts

Host (7/2), Light Wakeup (4/1), Bagara (4/1), Alpine Springs (11/2), Daphne May (13/2), Talking Point (13/2), Full Marks (15/2), Express Power (14/1), Sayifyouwill (18/1), Pump It Up (66/1), Dark Alibi (80/1)

BAGARA made a pleasing start to life in nurseries when third at Sandown last month and could progress again, so he makes a fair bit of appeal. Host, who was ridden too aggressively last time, is worth considering, while Full Marks might bounce back now tried in a handicap and visored.
