Minnesota Lad¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: R A Fahey| OR: 82

11/4

Promising sort. 8/13, won 10-runner maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago, staying on well. Further progress likely now upped in trip for this nursery debut.

Zaman Jemil²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: L Dettori| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 76

11/8

Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 11 in maiden (9/2) at Pontefract (6f, good) 22 days ago, just failing. Booking of Frankie Dettori catches the eye and needs a second look now pitched into a nursery.

Form: 742

(5)

Prairie Falcon²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Robinson| T: M Dods| OR: 76

7/1

Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 12-runner nursery (14/1) at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 28 days ago, slowly away. 2 lb nudge looks very fair indeed and will be a big player if proving equally effective on this surface.

Form: 8351

Machito^h²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁵⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 76

11/1

Hooded for 1st time, creditable fifth of 11 in nursery at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 15/2) 21 days ago, never nearer. Makes tapeta debut and needs to raise his game. Yard also saddles American In Paris.

Hiatus^h¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 72

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 22/1 and hooded for 1st time, third of 7 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good) 12 days ago. Sizeable step forward needed now that he goes down the nursery route.

Form: 443

Miss Mai Tai²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: K Shoemark| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 72| D

12/1

Winner at Ripon in July. 5/2, respectable fourth of 11 in minor event at Ripon (6f, good) 24 days ago. Makes tapeta/nursery debut. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 665014

American In Paris^b1¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: A Mullen| T: H Palmer| OR: 70

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, fifth of 8 in nursery at Carlisle (5f, good) 6 days ago. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Tanzanite.

Form: 3335

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: K R Burke| OR: 60

Forecasts

Zaman Jemil (11/8), Minnesota Lad (11/4), Prairie Falcon (7/1), Sanks A Million (8/1), Machito (11/1), Miss Mai Tai (12/1), American In Paris (14/1), Tanzanite (14/1), Al Hitmi (16/1), Hiatus (33/1)

MINNESOTA LAD opened his account at the third attempt in a Beverley maiden earlier this month and, with the promise of better to come now upped to 6f, he is taken to follow-up off what looks a fair mark for his nursery debut. Next on the list is Prairie Falcon, who raised his game when landing a Glorious Goodwood nursery. Sanks A Million is another to consider and Tanzanite will be a threat too, after being forced to miss his race at Catterick on Wednesday (abandonded).
