John Smith's Nursery

Off time: 15:30 | Winning time: 1m 13.06s

(9)

Red Power²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 83| D

7/2

Cost £120,000 as a yearling and confirmed debut promise when asserting late on at Ayr (6f) in June. Best effort yet when second at Haydock (7f) latest and likely to go well again on nursery debut.

Form: 412

(6)

Meng Tian³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁵⁾| T: S Woods| OR: 83

9/1

Justified cramped odds when off the mark at Nottingham (5f) in April. Similar form when third at Bath (5f) 5 weeks ago but this likely the softest ground he's encountered.

Form: 2153

(3)

Jersey Rose¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| D

14/1

Stepped up on debut effort when landing a 10-runner minor event at Ripon (6f, soft) with a good deal of authority in May. Well held at listed level since but this rates more suitable.

Form: 610

(5)

Night Candle³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Hannon| OR: 78

9/2

Mehmas filly who has progressed with each start to date, off the mark at the third attempt in a Windsor novice (5f) last month, winning readily. Possible she can do better again now handicapping.

Form: 421

(8)

Silken Petals¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Mark Crehan⁽³⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 74| BF

7/2

Pastoral Pursuits filly who has hit the frame all 4 starts to date, albeit not matching her previous best when runner-up in an ordinary affair at Yarmouth latest. May be vulnerable to a few here.

Form: 2322

(1)

Atomic Lady³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74

9/2

Kodiac filly who built on opening pair of efforts when off the mark at Ripon (5f) 38 days ago, going on over 1f out and driven out. Type to do better again and she's one for the shortlist.

Form: 321

(7)

Royal Emerther²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Harrison Shaw| T: K R Burke| OR: 72

11/1

Bred to be sharp and opening pair of exploits in novice company not devoid of promise. Best to overlook latest assignment in the Windsor Castle at Ascot and this a more realistic assignment.

Form: 630

(10)

International Boy^v⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

20/1

Camacho colt. Learning by the run to date, sharpened up by a first-time visor when third in a Redcar novice (5f) in May. Given a break since and that may not prove his limit now handicapping.

Form: 463

(2)

Wiganese³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 66

16/1

Improved on debut form despite looking green when midfield in a Carlisle novice (5.8f) in May. Easy to back and not in same form at Wolverhampton next time. Gelded since and worth a check in betting.

Form: 044

Non-Runners

Makalu¹⁰

Weight: 8-12| Age: 2

T: K A Ryan J: O McSweeney

Forecasts

Silken Petals (7/2), Red Power (7/2), Atomic Lady (9/2), Night Candle (9/2), Makalu (5/1), Meng Tian (9/1), Royal Emerther (11/1), Jersey Rose (14/1), Wiganese (16/1), International Boy (20/1)

A competitive nursery with the vote in favour of ATOMIC LADY. Tim Easterby's filly has improved with each start to date, getting off the mark in good style at Ripon last month. There's likely more to come now handicapping and she can make another bold bid. Top-weight Red Power, Night Candle and Thirsk-scorer Makalu head up the dangers.
