Kiss N Cuddle^v⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: B A Curtis| T: P D Evans| OR: 72| BF| D

5/4

Improved since visored, winning a 6f seller and 7f nursery at Leicester this month. Another good run when collared only near the finish at Beverley (7.5f) on Tuesday. Leading form claims but the outside stall dents confidence slightly.

Form: 05112

Have Secret¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 71

10/3

Promise on all 3 of his qualifying runs and appeals as one who'll go on to better things in nurseries. Nicely drawn in 2. Big player.

Form: 634

(1)

Midnight Flame²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: T Ward| OR: 71

9/2

Fair form over 6f. Handily drawn for nursery debut and player under Marquand if seeing out the longer trip.

Form: 453

(5)

Chuck Taylor¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 71

15/2

Placed in 6f maidens on his last 2 outings and he's another in the line-up who has the potential for better in handicaps.

Form: 523

In The Storm¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 68

14/1

Hasn't progressed from debut but handicaps do provide him with a more realistic chance.

Form: 465

(7)

Pink Stripes¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: S H James| T: L Williamson| OR: 56

50/1

Modest form at best in 3 outings over 6f here. Steps up in trip for nursery debut. Others are preferred.

Form: 666

Emerald Duchess³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54

14/1

Has more than hinted at ability in 3 outings over sprint trips. Given a bit of a break ahead of nursery debut over a longer trip and rates a likely improver in this sphere.

Form: 980

Forecasts

Kiss N Cuddle (5/4), Have Secret (10/3), Midnight Flame (9/2), Chuck Taylor (15/2), Evolicatt (8/1), In The Storm (14/1), Emerald Duchess (14/1), Breath Catcher (14/1), Pink Stripes (50/1)

The step back up in trip should play to the strengths of HAVE SECRET who is taken to strike on nursery debut for the Richard Fahey/Oisin Orr combination. The thriving Kiss N Cuddle will be a major threat if William Buick can manoeuvre him into a decent position from the outside stall. Emerald Duchess also makes the shortlist.
