200/1

Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in maiden (100/1) at Southwell (5f) 18 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line.

So Many Questions

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: H & R Charlton

18/1

Foaled February 9. £85,000 yearling, Showcasing colt. Closely related to 5f winner Mystify Me and half-brother to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Al Raya and 5f/6f winner Grisons. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run but needs a market check all the same.

10/11

Fairly useful filly. Winner at Leicester in July. Creditable second of 8 in nursery at Newbury (6f, heavy, 11/2) 16 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and will surely go close if taking to this surface.

400/1

7/4

Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 6 in minor event at this C&D (5/2) 26 days ago. Reproduction of that effort will put her firmly in the picture.

Forecasts

The Big Board (10/11), Pure Angel (7/4), Erosion Risk (5/1), Grace Angel (6/1), Radio Goo Goo (8/1), Great State (16/1), So Many Questions (18/1), Spice Rack (80/1), South Dakota Sioux (150/1), Noodle Mission (200/1), Mountain Run (400/1)

THE BIG BOARD has proved consistent on turf this year, runner-up in a trio of decent nurseries subsequent to opening her account in a Leicester maiden during the summer. She will prove a tough nut to crack on these terms, provided she takes to this surface. Pure Angel's latest effort in a C&D novice represented a further step forward and, with the possibility of better to come, she is feared most. Erosion Risk is best of the rest.
