5/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Musselburgh (5f) in August. 11/2, made only late headway after a sluggish start when fifth of 8 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good) 13 days ago but this drop back down in class in his favour.

Call Me Harswell²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 73| D

14/1

Winner at Beverley in May. Creditable fifth of 10 in novice back at that venue (5f) 23 days ago, leading until over 1f out and weakening last ½f. Return to handicaps in her favour now.

Brazilian Belle⁹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 72| D

9/1

Left debut effort in her wake when a ready winner of a 4-runner Catterick maiden (5f, soft) in May. Took strong hold and didn't last out when tenth of 13 in Beverley conditions' event (5f) in June. Switch to handicaps a plus but opening mark demands improvement.

Form: 410

Managing Director¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: B Smart| OR: 72

5/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form tenth of 17 in nursery at York (6f, good to firm, 14/1) 17 days ago, done no favours by draw/track position. Marked drop in grade rates a plus and likely he has a bigger effort in his locker.

Go On Rosie¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 70| BF| D

11/2

Found some improvement for switch to nurseries, ready winner under an attacking ride at Beverley (5f) in August and matched that form after 4 days off when close-up fourth at Catterick (6f) 19 days ago. Positive ride returned to 5f should see her thereabouts again.

Form: 656214

Tees Aggregates¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Murtagh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 67| D

10/1

Showed improved form when opening his account from the front on nursery debut at Leicester (5f) in July. Found things tougher from revised mark but still ran respectably when third of 7 in nursery at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Claims of hitting the frame again.

Forecasts

Managing Director (5/2), Bella Love (7/2), Winchurch (5/1), Go On Rosie (11/2), Brazilian Belle (9/1), Tees Aggregates (10/1), Call Me Harswell (14/1), Death Or Glory (14/1), Captain Pickles (20/1)

This looks wide open and it may pay to side with MANAGING DIRECTOR. He's essentially looked a work-in-progress in a handful of starts to date but will find this less demanding than his York assignment and, with his stable amongst the winners, it would come as no surprise to see him capable of better. Bella Love, on nursery debut, Winchurch and Go On Rosie are others to consider.
