Wild Nature²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: D C Costello| T: C Appleby| OR: 83| BF

13/8

Kingman gelding who was going the right way prior to finishing last of 10 on nursery debut (6/5) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 25 days ago, badly hampered soon after start and perhaps unsuited by extreme conditions. Well worth another chance.

Dante's Lad^t⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 83

6/4

Showed fairly useful form when placed first 2 outings. Not in the same form in a valuable sales race at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) on final start for Joseph Patrick O'Brien but could easily get back on track for new yard now switching to a nursery.

Form: 339

Montpellier Green^b³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 80

10/1

Winner at the Curragh in September and ran at least as well in defeat in 9-runner nursery at Leopardstown (8f, soft, 5/1) 32 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien.

4/1

C&D winner who couldn't complete the hat-trick at this course (7f) a fortnight ago but again ran well nonetheless.

Form: 800113

Naturally²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: L Morris| T: E Walker| OR: 69

25/1

Thrice-raced maiden who got back on track when fifth of 11 in novice at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Step up in trip for handicap debut and may yet do better.

Form: 775

Forecasts

Dante's Lad (6/4), Wild Nature (13/8), Spirit Lead Me (4/1), Montpellier Green (10/1), Naturally (25/1)

It's probably wise to excuse WILD NATURE's Doncaster nursery debut run given he was badly hampered soon after the start and perhaps unsuited by extreme conditions, so he's well worth another chance having looked progressive prior to that. Dante's Lad has joined a yard that does well with its recruits and the furlong longer trip seems sure to suit based on his pedigree. Spirit Lead Me seems highly likely to give another good account so warrants respect, also.
