(4)

Big Boy Harley¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 77

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Third of 5 in nursery (7/2) at Hamilton (6f, good) 12 days ago, running on. 1 lb rise fair and he should give another good account.

Form: 2303

(1)

Battle Of The Nile²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Ferguson| OR: 75| D

11/2

Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 9-runner nursery (11/4) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 22 days ago. More needed up 5 lb here, but he's clearly headed in the right direction.

Form: 9741

(8)

Rosie's Return¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 75

5/2

Career best when winning 4-runner maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good, 1/2) 15 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Mark for this nursery debut looks fair, but drop back in trip may not prove ideal.

Form: 3221

(2)

El Maga²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 73| D

22/1

Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Redcar in June. Ninth of 11 in nursery at Leicester (6f, good, 22/1) 22 days ago, not ideally placed. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 10409

(3)

Tudor Queen³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 69

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 7/1, fourth of 8 in maiden at Haydock (7f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Needs to raise her game now pitched into a nursery.

Form: 374

(7)

Ayling^t⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 69

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent second of 10 in nursery (11/1) at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. One for the shortlist off the same mark here.

Form: 3262

(5)

Royal Emerther⁶⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: K R Burke| OR: 69

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in nursery at York (6f, good, 11/1) 60 days ago. Needs to find some improvement if he's to open his account.

Form: 6307

(6)

Straits Of Moyle¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 66

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 12 in nursery (12/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 14 days ago, nearest finish. This stiffer track should help and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 60354

Forecasts

Rosie's Return (5/2), Royal Emerther (9/2), Battle Of The Nile (11/2), Straits Of Moyle (6/1), Big Boy Harley (6/1), Ayling (8/1), Tudor Queen (12/1), El Maga (22/1)

STRAITS OF MOYLE hasn't had things go his way switched to nurseries the last twice, putting in good late work after again suffering interference at the start at Wolverhampton last time. He is marginally prefered to Ayling, who went close over 5f at Ripon last week and is likely to appreciate this step up in trip. Big Boy Harley and Battle of The Nile are others to consider in a competitive heat.
