Gifted Angel¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 75| BF

9/2

Well backed but unable to find any further progression for the switch to handicaps when runner-up at Pontefract (6f)12 days ago, made to look a little slow despite the step back up in trip. Back over the minimum trip today and not without hope.

Form: 8532

Safari Dream¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Ross Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 74

9/4

Good looker who was better than the result on his first couple of starts. Fared about as well as could have been expected upped in grade when mid-field in Super Sprint at Newbury and he's one to look out for on nursery debut.

Form: 230

Armour Propre¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon| OR: 74

7/1

Caught the eye with how fluently she moved in the lead when fourth on debut and duly stepped forward from that effort when a narrow second in a maiden at Carlisle next start. Unsuited by such a test of speed in Super Sprint at Newbury but she may do better still now handicapping.

Form: 420

Espirito^h1³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M D I Usher| OR: 72

22/1

Runner-up at Chepstow in May but has failed to make much of an impact on both subsequent starts, maybe in need of the run having been gelded prior to his Windsor effort last month. Hood goes on for this nursery debut.

Form: 4276

Boom Boom Pow¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 71

9/4

Havana Grey filly who has made a promising start, filling the runner-up spot on all 3 outings. Back over the minimum trip for this handicap debut and no surprise to see her in the mix yet again.

Form: 222

Byefornow⁶⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽⁵⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 69| BF| D

17/2

Charm Spirit filly who ran to a fair level when making a winning debut at Bath (5f, good to firm) in May and matched that when fourth under a penalty at Lingfield 19 days later. Certainly worth a market check on this nursery debut.

Form: 14

Unlimited Data²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 64

18/1

Progressing gradually whilst still not looking the finished article. Makes nursery bow today and the market should be a good indicator as to what's expected.

Form: 839

Forecasts

Safari Dream (9/4), Boom Boom Pow (9/4), Gifted Angel (9/2), Armour Propre (7/1), Byefornow (17/2), Unlimited Data (18/1), Espirito (22/1)

Cases can be made for a few but Ralph Beckett's BOOM BOOM POW has filled the runner-up spot on all 3 starts so far, and now moving into handicaps, she's fancied to go a place better. Armour Propre was unsuited by the way the race developed in an ultra-competitive Super Sprint at Newbury last time so she's put forward as the main danger back in much calmer waters, with Safari Dream next on the list.
