Instinctive Move¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 90| D

10/3

Looked potentially useful when making a winning debut at Bath. Came unstuck in listed event at Sandown next time but back on track in nurseries, keeping on well for second at Chester 13 days ago.

Form: 1542

Kingboard Star²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: E Walker| OR: 88| D

8/1

Made an impressive winning debut at Bath but has failed to build on that since, albeit highly tried last 2 starts. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 1576

Korker¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 88| D

6/1

Tough and likeable type who doubled his tally when scoring at Thirsk in July, well on top at the finish. Possible to excuse last two efforts and he figures on a very fair mark now handicapping.

Form: 219170

Devious Angel¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁵⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 87| CD

16/1

Nippy, straightforward filly who made it 4 wins for the year in a Chester nursery last month. Brushed aside fairly readily last two outings and others possess greater scope.

Form: 171106

Bellarena Lady⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 82| D

12/1

Dual 5f novice winner who found the going tough in a brace of listed races. Nurseries more suitable and her mark is perfectly fair.

Form: 21010

(5)

Come Quick²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: K R Burke| OR: 82| D

8/1

Improved a chunk when landing 10-runner nursery at Carlisle in August and backed that up when runner-up at Beverley 12 days later. Up 2 lb but still on a good mark.

Form: 333712

(6)

Sisters In The Sky³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 81

10/3

Breeze-up acquisition who upped his game to comfortably open his account in a maiden at Goodwood in July (6f). Not far off that level at York and drop to 5f looks a good move.

Form: 3515

Russellinthebushes¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans| OR: 79| D

18/1

Speedy 2-y-o claimed from Tom Dascombe after a narrow defeat at Catterick. No chance in Super Sprint on debut for this yard but did finally get off the mark at Chester, seeing off Instinctive Move.

Form: 252021

Reversion¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 77| D

6/1

62,000 gns breeze-up purchase who continued theme of race-by-race progress when off the mark in 10-runner maiden at Sandown a fortnight ago. May have more to offer in handicaps.

Form: 731

Forecasts

Instinctive Move (10/3), Sisters In The Sky (10/3), Korker (6/1), Reversion (6/1), Come Quick (8/1), Kingboard Star (8/1), Bellarena Lady (12/1), Devious Angel (16/1), Russellinthebushes (18/1)

A case can be made for most of these, but KORKER, who has had excuses on his last couple of outings, is the most persuasive option tackling a nursery for the first time. Come Quick and Reversion are just a couple of potential threats.
