Showed more than previous two starts when sixth of 9 in novice event at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 18/1) 17 days ago, denied a clear run. In good hands and type to do better in nurseries.

7/1

Struggled to land a blow when eleventh of 12 in seller at Chester (7f, good) 25 days ago. Visor needs to sharpen him up now contesting a nursery.

Toota^h1¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 56

5/1

Backed at long odds and shaped quite well when fifth of 10 in novice event at Ripon (6f, good) 19 days ago. Hood on first time and there's a bigger performance in her, so she's of serious interest.

Forecasts

Griselda (2/1), Toota (5/1), Love Games (13/2), Bank On Kent (7/1), Lady Dorchester (7/1), Bobby Jones (17/2), Elladora Black (10/1), Off The Bench (16/1)

All of these contest a nursery for the first time with LOVE GAMES just about the most interesting of them having displayed a lot more on his final qualifying run. Toota is also a likely improver at the foot of the weights, with Bobby Jones allotted a very fair mark.
