Paul Goodrum 60th Birthday Nursery

Off time: 14:11 | Winning time: 1m 35.07s

(4)

Madam Macho²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 65

10/1

Camacho filly who was green and never figured on first 2 starts but did at least show more than previously when fifth of 10 in a Thirsk novice (7f, good) 20 days ago. In good hands and she may build on that now tackling nurseries.

Form: 495

(5)

Vondelpark⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 64

15/2

Stepped up on debut effort when third in Rous Seller at York (6f) in June and, with blinkers discarded on yard debut, she went well for a long way despite finishing eighth of 9 in a Carlisle novice (5.8f, soft) in July. Up in trip for nursery debut.

Form: 438

Jim's Cracker¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 64

10/3

Well backed and showed more than first time up when fifth in 15-runner Thirsk novice (6f) in June but not in same form when sixth of 10 in a Newcastle maiden on qualifying run 3 weeks ago. Still, not one to write off now handicapping.

Form: 456

My Honey B³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 60

3/1

Zoffany filly who hinted at ability in maiden/novice company and stepped up to finish good third in a C&D nursery 4 weeks ago, chasing leader final 1f and running on. One to consider on the back of that from handy draw.

Form: 0863

Heart Of Acklam²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 59

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden who offered a little more than previously without posing any threat when 8 lengths fifth of 10 in a Redcar novice (7f) 25 days ago. Does at least now get a crack at handicaps but good deal of progress required to figure.

Form: 995

Frank Ross Is Out¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 58

12/1

Pastoral Pursuits colt who has showed modest form on 2 of his 3 starts without getting competitive, seventh of 8 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. However, feasible to expect better now handicapping and one to note.

Form: 877

(6)

Leading Company^b¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 55| CD

5/2

Not disgraced when fourth on back of a slow start here 2 starts back and duly showed improved form to open his account in a C&D nursery 16 days ago, well served by coming late off a strong gallop. 4 lb higher now but definite claims again.

Form: 60541

(7)

Ribkana²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54

40/1

Showed more than on debut when sixth in 8-runner C&D novice in July but offered little when seventh of 9 in minor event at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago, ridden over 2f out and weakening. Needs to do more now.

Form: 867

Forecasts

Leading Company (5/2), My Honey B (3/1), Jim's Cracker (10/3), Vondelpark (15/2), Madam Macho (10/1), Frank Ross Is Out (12/1), Heart Of Acklam (12/1), Ribkana (40/1)

MY HONEY B surpassed her exploits in maiden/novice company when third in a C&D nursery 4 weeks ago and, with further progress not out of the question, she gets the narrow vote to come out on top. C&D winner Leading Company and Madam Macho head up the dangers, whilst market support for Frank Ross Is Out would need to be viewed positively.
