Step Sister^p1¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: L P Keniry| T: C G Cox| OR: 59

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on first time. Could improve in handicaps.

Form: 058

(1)

Zoolander^b²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: J A Osborne| OR: 58

7/2

Modest form. Second on C&D nursery debut but not in same form when 6¼ lengths seventh of 12 to Spirit of Rowdown over C&D since, making effort earlier than ideal.

Form: 00027

Maxine⁷⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 58

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Did well under circumstances when third of 13 in C&D nursery 77 days ago, nearest at finish after being forced wide. Draw could have been kinder but of interest from her mark.

Form: 8563

(9)

Kingdom Found¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 57

13/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in novice at Lingfield (1m) 17 days ago. In good hands and could have more to offer now switching to a low-grade handicap.

Form: 006

Beau Tinker²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 57

Spirit Of Rowdown^p²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M D I Usher| OR: 56| CD

11/10

Improved to win nurseries at Chelmsford and over C&D (few of these rivals behind) last month. A 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him making a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Form: 842511

Ghostly¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 56

18/1

14/1, first run since leaving Mick Channon when ninth of 10 in nursery at Southwell (8.1f) 11 days ago. Something to find on form. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 676269

Flotilla^p1²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Edward Greatrex| T: E Walker| OR: 48

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. First form when fifth of 11 in nursery at Chelmsford (7f) 22 days ago, although possibly helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 98785

Spirit Of Rowdown (11/10), Zoolander (7/2), Classy Dame (6/1), Kingdom Found (13/2), Maxine (7/1), Beau Tinker (14/1), Flotilla (14/1), Vivid Imagination (16/1), Ghostly (18/1), Step Sister (25/1), Baroness Rachael (25/1)

SPIRIT OF ROWDOWN may be able to defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. Maxine shaped quite well on her C&D nursery debut and should be on the premises if the outside stall doesn't prove too much of an inconvenience. Kingdom Found and Step Sister hail from decent yards and rate potential improvers now handicapping.
