(7)

Sergeant Mayer²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 62

5/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in minor event (200/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago, plugging on without threatening. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 556

Charlie Mason^v1¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Phil Dennis| T: P D Evans| OR: 60| BF

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable third of 10 in nursery (7/4) at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 17 days ago, keeping on when hanging left final 1f. Fitting of a visor could well help now and no surprise to see him thereabouts.

Form: 05833

Space Ninja²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton| OR: 58

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to soft, 66/1) 20 days ago. Needs to find some improvement now handicapping but he cost plenty as a yearling and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 669

Damia¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 57

16/1

Territories filly. 9/1, dispelled a lesser effort on yard debut when fourth of 5 in nursery at Leicester (5f, soft) 15 days ago, headed around 2f out and fading. Eased 3 lb since but more needed if she's to open her account here.

Form: 7794

(10)

Macarone²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P Hanagan| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 56

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, very good second of 7 in nursery at Bath (5f, good) 29 days ago, effort 2f out and keeping on. Claims with a repeat.

Form: 0492

(5)

Regal Solitaire¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 54

28/1

Unreliable type. Seventh of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 66/1) 14 days ago, pulling way to the front after 2f and fading. Others preferred making handicap debut.

Form: U867

(1)

Naval Flight¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 53

9/1

Showed more than previously switched to positive tactics when third in a C&D claimer in May but proved disappointing both starts in nurseries more recently.

Form: 70387

(12)

Carnaby Princess¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 53

8/1

Showed some ability in novice/maiden company and shaped better than previously when fourth of 10 in nursery at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 12 days ago, her effort flattening out having briefly looked a threat. Eased 2 lb ahead of this and no forlorn hope.

Form: 5754

(3)

Riverview Law²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 52

40/1

Showed ability when second in 5-runner maiden on debut at Hamilton (5f) in June but failed to match that level in 3 subsequent outings, last of 9 in nursery at Musselburgh (5f) 23 days ago. Good deal to prove at present.

Form: 2709

(14)

Zaphea⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: William Pyle⁽⁷⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 52

17/2

No match for a pair of improvers at Musselburgh (5f) 2 starts back but she arrives having run her best race to date when second of 9 in nursery at Bath (5f) 8 days ago, travelling best but not match for the winner. Player for all widest draw not ideal.

Form: 703032

(6)

Swiftly^p1¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 47

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, seventh of 10 in nursery at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 12 days ago, threatening over 2f out and weakening. Cheekpieces on for 1st time returned to the minimum trip and not one to write off just yet.

Form: 6777

(2)

Master Eli^p³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: G Lee| T: M Walford| OR: 47

20/1

Eqtidaar colt who showed more than previously when sixth on qualifying run in a Thirsk novice (6f) in July. However, proved disappointing (in first-time cheekpieces) when eighth of 9 on nursery debut at Nottingham (6.1f) 30 days ago.

Form: 0968

Ifonlytheycudtalk^b³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 45

80/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, again offered little when last of 9 on nursery debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 37 days ago, carrying head awkwardly and soon beaten. Can only be watched.

Forecasts

Charlie Mason (3/1), Macarone (7/2), Sergeant Mayer (5/1), Carnaby Princess (8/1), Zaphea (17/2), Naval Flight (9/1), Space Ninja (12/1), Come On Irene (14/1), Damia (16/1), Master Eli (20/1), Swiftly (25/1), Equiart (25/1), Regal Solitaire (28/1), Riverview Law (40/1), Ifonlytheycudtalk (80/1)

ZAPHEA has a wider draw than ideal to contend with but she produced her best effort yet when runner-up at Bath 8 days ago and, eased in the weights subsequently, she could be the answer with her rider also taking off a handy 7 lb. Charlie Mason looks the type to benefit from headgear, so he's feared equipped with a first-time visor. Macarone and Carnaby Princess are others fancied to be thereabouts.
