Say Hello^b⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 85| CD

11/4

Left previous efforts well behind in first-time blinkers when easily landing 11-runner nursery over C&D (good) last week. Hiked up a whopping 13 lb but another bold bid likely if the headgear continues to have the same effect.

Form: 3061

Snafiya⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 83| D

10/3

Advanced her form on first start for a new yard (previously trained by George Boughey) when winning 7-runner soft-ground novice at Doncaster (6f) last month. Defied a penalty at Thirsk just 6 days later despite again doing plenty wrong and opening mark probably fair.

Form: 23211

5/1

Cotai Glory filly who showed fair form in making a winning start in 5f maiden at Catterick, green early but picking up to good effect once her stamina kicked in. Brushed aside in the Albany at Royal Ascot and again ran below form when only sixth of 9 to Tierney on nursery debut at Haydock.

Form: 106

9/2

Took a step forward to get off the mark in 9-runner nursery (28/1) at Haydock (6f, firm) 28 days ago, staying on well. Hit with 7 lb rise but remains unexposed at the trip.

11/2

Showed improved form upped in trip when winning 11-runner nursery at Lingfield (6f, firm) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Open to further improvement.

Form: 3551

Mirroring¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Barry McHugh| T: M L W Bell| OR: 70

10/1

Breeze-up purchase who improved on her debut form at the second attempt when third in 7-runner maiden at Ripon (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Into nurseries now and return to 6f could see her eke out a bit more.

Form: 303

Forecasts

Say Hello (11/4), Snafiya (10/3), Tierney (9/2), Flaccianello (5/1), Defying Orders (11/2), Lady Wulfrun (13/2), Woodhay Wonder (7/1), Mirroring (10/1), Jumeirah Breeze (12/1), Soveraine (12/1)

SAY HELLO has a significant rise in the weights to contend with, but with last week's wide-margin C&D win backed up by the timefigure, she's taken to make it 2 from 2 in nursery company. Fellow last-time-out winners Defying Orders and Tierney head the opposition.
