Ellade¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 82| D

6/1

Typical hardy front runner associated with this stable and she's won 5f/6f events at Lingfield (AW) this term. Found Newmarket Group 2 too hot last time and better expected on nursery debut.

Form: 14128

Atomic Lady¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 82| D

4/1

Improving filly who has won 5f Ripon novice and 6f York nursery the last twice, always prominent and seeing her race out strongly on the Knavesmire. 8 lb rise and shorter trip here. Can go well again.

Form: 3211

May Blossom^v¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78| D

16/1

Gained a second success of the year in 5f Beverley fillies' novice a fortnight ago, responding well to fitting of a visor. Will need a bit more again now handicapping. Another likely front runner.

Form: 410771

Ninky Nonk²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 78| BF

8/1

Pushed Korker (rated 91) close at Carlisle over this trip on second start but beaten favourite with little excuses twice since. Back over 5f for handicap debut and needs to improve.

Form: 5225

Come Quick²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 75

17/2

Been shaping up well in maidens/novices and this return to 5f will suit on handicap debut. Wouldn't dismiss.

Form: 2333

Firebomb⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 75

4/1

Gave it another good go when second in 5f Ripon maiden last week and could do even better now handicapping. One to consider.

Form: 7222

Beauzon³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 72| D

18/1

Front runner who won thin 5f Ripon novice in April. Not progressed since and has been gelded ahead of this nursery debut.

Tareekh^v1¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Fahey| OR: 72| BF

10/1

Won 6f Thirsk maiden and York seller (bought in for a cool £28,000) in June. Not so good on handicap debut on softer ground at Pontefract last time and visor reached for dropped in trip now.

Form: 84114

Alaskan Jewel³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 72

14/1

Fair maiden who ran up to form at Hamilton 5 weeks ago but needs improvement from somewhere to figure on handicap bow.

Form: 252833

Hi Meh Darling⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 70

7/1

Steady progress in novices/maidens, keeping on behind big improver at Hamilton (6f) last week. Likely has more to offer now tackling nurseries dropped in trip.

Form: 3262

(7)

Mytilda^h,t1⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 70

25/1

Her Ripon (5f) second in April is very much a standout effort. Excuses (reared twice leaving stalls) in Super Sprint last week but needs to improve for fitting of tongue tie here.

Form: 52490

Forecasts

Firebomb (4/1), Atomic Lady (4/1), Ellade (6/1), Hi Meh Darling (7/1), Ninky Nonk (8/1), Come Quick (17/2), Tareekh (10/1), Alaskan Jewel (14/1), May Blossom (16/1), Beauzon (18/1), Mytilda (25/1)

FIREBOMB has built a solid platform over 5f ahead of this switch to nurseries and could be worth chancing ahead of the hat-trick seeking Atomic Lady, who saw things out strongly over 6f at York and may not benefit totally from the drop back in trip. Hi Meh Darling and the class-dropping Ellade are a couple of others to consider in this valuable nursery.
