(1)

Lovely Mana¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 82| D

5/1

Fairly useful, good-looking filly who gained a deserved first success at Wolverhampton (novice) 18 days ago. Has left Ralph Beckett since, but bold run expected debuting for another good yard.

Form: 3831

(10)

Chimgan¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 82| D

9/2

Made a winning start in 10-runner novice at Nottingham before finding the Molecomb all too much for him at Goodwood last time. Remains with potential on nursery bow.

Form: 10

(9)

Swayze¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Meade| OR: 82| D

5/1

Left debut form behind when landing a Yarmouth novice in July and was out of his depth in the Molecomb at Goodwood subsequently, so can't be written off back in calmer waters.

Form: 818

(6)

Sienna Bonnie²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: J G Portman| OR: 78| D

11/1

Ready winner of a 6-runner novice at Bath on second outing in May. Consistent rather than progressive since and unable to make much impact in Super Sprint here last time. More needed.

Form: 217540

(11)

Super Cub²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁵⁾| T: R Varian| OR: 78| D

6/1

Progressive sort who readily opened his account in an 11-runner maiden at Ripon last month. That form is solid and he's bred to go on improving, so warrants strong consideration.

Form: 321

(5)

So Smart^p1¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁵⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 78

33/1

Best effort to date when runner-up at Nottingham on penultimate outing but hard to see where the requisite improvement will come from now tackling nurseries off a seemingly stiff mark.

Form: 624

(4)

Amazonian Dream²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: B R Millman| OR: 77

13/2

Fair form initially, then has seemed a bit out of his depth the last twice (down the field in Super Sprint over C&D on latest). Not a forlorn hope faced with a more realistic assignment.

Form: 22400

(7)

Russellinthebushes²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: S W Kelly| T: P D Evans| OR: 71

40/1

Speedy 2-y-o claimed from Tom Dascombe after a narrow defeat at Catterick. No chance in Super Sprint over C&D on debut for this yard and looks vulnerable to improvers.

Form: 292520

(8)

Brown Owl^h¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: T Ward| OR: 70| D

16/1

Fair filly who made the most of her experience when landing a maiden at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago. Needs to find improvement if she's to follow up in this more competitive scenario.

Form: 4341

(2)

Berkshire Phoenix^b1²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 69

10/1

Fair form first 2 starts in 5f minor/maiden events but hasn't kicked on since, looking far from straightforward. Needs blinkers to have a positive effect.

Form: 4567

(3)

Whistledown^h¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 67

9/1

Much improved in nurseries, winning 6f Nottingham event and filling runner-up spot on next two starts. Undone by quick turnaround at Newmarket last time but likely to get back on track.

Form: 241227

Forecasts

Chimgan (9/2), Swayze (5/1), Lovely Mana (5/1), Super Cub (6/1), Amazonian Dream (13/2), Whistledown (9/1), Berkshire Phoenix (10/1), Sienna Bonnie (11/1), Brown Owl (16/1), So Smart (33/1), Russellinthebushes (40/1)

SUPER CUB did well to get up late to score at Ripon in July and should benefit from this more conventional track, so he can continue his upward curve and make a winning start to nurseries. Lovely Mana also arrives on the back of an impressive victory, so she strikes as the main threat in front of Swayze.
