Tactical Plan¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: S De Sousa| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 75

7/2

Notably strong in the betting and he ran well when second of 11 in maiden at Catterick (7f) 11 days ago, ridden 2f out and staying on. One to be interested in on nursery debut.

Form: 4022

Dollyana¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 75| D

7/2

Justified support when off the mark at the third attempt in a Ffos Las novice (7.3f) in June, well served by the step up in trip. Never figured at listed level on latest outing at Sandown 10 days ago but switch to nurseries in her favour now.

Form: 8617

Anthropologist²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C Johnston| OR: 72

4/1

Fair form in handful of outings to date, again not seeing his race out very well when fourth of 6 in a C&D nursery 23 days ago. More needed.

Form: 3474

(7)

Tuscan Point²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 71

11/1

Promise on second of 3 starts in novice/maidens and produced best effort yet equipped with cheekpieces when fifth of 13 in nursery (11/1) at York (6f, good to soft) 22 days ago, staying on gradually. Possible he can do better again.

Form: 5585

Atomic Mass²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68

6/1

Showed plenty of ability on first of his 3 starts in novice/maidens and back to that sort of form when third of 13 on nursery debut at York (6f) 3 weeks ago, keeping on well. Distinctly possible to think there's more to come now tackling 7f.

Form: 5753

(8)

New Bombay^h¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 68

9/1

New Bay colt who fared better than previously in a first-time hood without looking entirely straightforward when ninth of 11 in novice at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. In good hands though, and there could yet be more to come now handicapping.

Form: 969

(9)

Law Degree^p¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65| D

11/1

Relished the step up in trip and justified support in first-time cheekpieces when winning 9-runner nursery at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago, keeping on well. This tougher drawn widest of all but he could yet have more to offer.

Form: 4751

(3)

Herecomesthebear²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Hart| T: H Palmer| OR: 62

12/1

Kodi Bear colt who has finished nearer last than first in a trio of novice/maiden contests at up to 6f to date. However, increase in trip promises to suit on pedigree and switch to handicaps a definite plus. One to note if market speaks in his favour.

Form: 767

Forecasts

Tactical Plan (7/2), Dollyana (7/2), Anthropologist (4/1), Atomic Mass (6/1), New Bombay (9/1), Tuscan Point (11/1), Law Degree (11/1), Herecomesthebear (12/1), Eighteen Fourteen (20/1)

DOLLYANA found listed company too taxing on her most recent outing but she'd previously impressed when defeating a subsequent improver at Ffos Las in June and she's of firm interest with the switch to handicaps firmly in her favour. Atomic Mass and Tactical Plan are others to consider. Beverley-scorer Law Degree is also respected despite a wide draw.
