The Feminine Urge²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott| OR: 70

18/1

Improved when making a winning nursery debut in 8-runner contest at Catterick (6f, firm, 15/2) in August and may have been unsuited by conditions when last of 8 in nursery at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. No surprise to see her back on track from handy draw.

Amor Cordis⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: R Kingscote| T: R & J & J Insole| OR: 70

22/1

£85,000 purchase who posted a good third on second of 3 starts in maidens at up to 7.4f. Switch to nurseries in his favour but his draw could have been kinder.

Kaiya³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 69

66/1

Took a step forward when sixth of 10 in maiden (100/1) at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 5 weeks ago. May do better still now going into handicaps but the assessor has taken no chances with opening mark.

Karl Carlston¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: D Egan| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 69

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Shaped better than bare result on back of a stable switch when fourth of 10 in nursery (5/1) at Chester (7f, soft) 12 days ago, hanging badly left off the bridle. May have more to offer if proving more tractable.

Form: 3044

Brandywine Falls⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 68| BF

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, ran best race to date when fourth of 11 in nursery at Redcar (6f, good) 8 days ago, headway out wide 1f out and keeping on. Step up to 7f worth exploring on that evidence and she's worth considering.

Form: 65744

Matharu^b²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 68| BF| D

6/4

Much improved switched to handicaps/equipped with blinkers, off the mark at Kempton (7f) prior to a good second of 9 in nursery at Lingfield (8f, AW, 7/4) 22 days ago, no match for winner. Entitled to be in the mix again returned to this trip.

Form: 865212

Rotation⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Mia Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 67

33/1

Narrow winner of a seller (20/1) at Leicester (6f, good) but struggled on nursery bow at Lingfield next time and faced stiff task when well held in valuable sales' race at Newmarket (6f) 6 weeks ago. Return to nurseries in his favour at least.

Form: 0180

Havana Dance⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 67

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, fifth of 8 in nursery at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 48 days ago, slowly away. Makes polytrack debut. Worth another crack at this trip.

Form: 43965

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 60| CD

4/1

Mohaather filly who proved a different proposition back from a break when winning 13-runner nursery at this C&D 33 days ago. Rider takes off handy 3 lb and big shout again now she's up and running.

Forecasts

Matharu (6/4), Brandywine Falls (3/1), Telford (4/1), Karl Carlston (6/1), Lilly's Bet (7/1), Dapper Guest (8/1), The Feminine Urge (18/1), Amor Cordis (22/1), Rotation (33/1), Havana Dance (40/1), Kaiya (66/1)

TELFORD proved a different proposition back from a break when making a winning nursery debut over C&D 33 days ago and, with potential for better still now she's up and running, another bold bid ought to be on the cards. Brandywine Falls on her first crack at 7f, The Feminine Urge and Matharu head up the dangers.
