Al Khazneh³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: D Tudhope| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 81| BF

17/2

Opened his account on nursery debut in August but pulled too hard at Chelmsford next time and this longer trip isn't obviously in his favour.

Form: 22214

Self Praise^b²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 80

10/3

Off the mark at Chester in July and not disgraced on either start since, sixth in a sales race at Newmarket last time. Has been given a chance by the handicapper, and warrants respect.

Form: 222176

Nanga Parbat¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Hannon| OR: 77

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable third of 7 in novice at Chepstow (6.1f, good to soft) 16 days ago. More consistent than progressive to this point.

Form: 2243

Grey's Monument^b1¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 76

4/1

Fair form when placed on 2 of his 3 starts in novice/maiden company. Lost place over 1f out only to rally late on when seventh of 9 on nursery debut at Doncaster (7f) since. Looks the type to benefit from first-time blinkers.

Form: 4337

Spioradalta^p⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 74| D

13/2

10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, took a step forward to land a 10-runner nursery at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 7 days ago, driven out. Should go well again.

Form: 033351

Centre Court²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 73

40/1

Showcasing filly who made a winning start in comfortable fashion at Newmarket (6f) in May. Similar form when third on AW next time but needs to shrug off a a couple of disappointing efforts.

Form: 1306

Bowland Prince²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73

22/1

Just modest form to date and opening mark doesn't look particularly lenient, so others make more appeal.

Form: 7264

Indian Renegade²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 71

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in minor event (50/1) at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago. Half-brother to numerous winners, so could up his game now switched to nurseries.

Form: 948

(7)

Drafted²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton| OR: 68

7/2

Upped his game and shaped like the best horse at the weights when third over C&D on nursery debut, finishing strongly having been left with a lot to do. Could open his account now.

Form: 4653

Slippin Jimmy⁸⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 66

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden who caught the eye in no uncertain terms when fifth on his qualifying run at Beverley 84 days ago. Notable nursery debutant.

Form: 855

Forecasts

Runaholic (3/1), Self Praise (10/3), Drafted (7/2), Grey's Monument (4/1), Spioradalta (13/2), Al Khazneh (17/2), Slippin Jimmy (10/1), Nanga Parbat (14/1), Bowland Prince (22/1), Indian Renegade (25/1), Centre Court (40/1)

Having finished strongly from an unpromising position over C&D last time, DRFTED is worth the chance to confirm that encouragement and get off the mark. Self Praise is of interest returning to nursery company and Grey's Monument warrants a mention in first-time blinkers.
