Find^p1⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 94

9/2

Useful sort who easily made all in a 7f novice at Yarmouth in August. Well held up in grade last time having been found with mucus in his trachea, so a bounce back wouldn't surprise on nursery bow.

Form: 52218

Oh Herberts Reign¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon| OR: 86| D

16/5

Proved better than ever when doubling his tally in 14-runner nursery at York (7.9f, soft) 13 days ago, relishing the longer trip. That form looks solid, so a 6-lb rise should prove manageable.

Form: 526101

Grey Belle⁵⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 80| D

9/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark in 1m novice at Thirsk (good) 56 days ago. Into handicaps now and will need to pull out more from a stiff-enough opening mark.

Form: 221

(4)

Sharvara¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 79| D

9/2

Took another step forward to get off the mark at Hamilton (8.3f) in September. However, wasn't in the same form on nursery bow at Nottingham (10.2f) and now drops back in trip.

Form: 8314

(5)

Youthful King²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Joey Haynes| T: L A Dace| OR: 78

66/1

Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at the third attempt in 7f novice at Lingfield (AW) 22 days ago, having run of race. More required now handicapping.

Form: 951

(3)

Baikal⁷²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K A Ryan| OR: 78

9/2

Fairly useful maiden who was reluctant to load prior to disappointing at Beverley in August. Has been gelded subsequently though, so one to note in the betting now switching to a nursery.

Form: 464

(6)

Superior Force^p1⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: S De Sousa| T: G Boughey| OR: 78

7/2

Made a winning debut at Salisbury in May and has proven consistent rather than progressive since, latest when fourth of 10 in 7.2f nursery at Haydock last week. Wears first-time cheekpieces here.

Form: 120544

OH HERBERTS REIGN beat a decent-looking field in commanding style at York 13 days ago, and with potentially more to come at this trip, a 6 lb rise ought to prove manageable. Find had a clear excuse when well held up in grade last time, so he’s expected to bounce back on his nursery debut fitted with first-time cheekpieces.
