Eclipser²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: P J McDonald| T: Charlie Clover| OR: 70| BF

8/1

Won a maiden at Chelmsford (race didn't work out) before finishing last of 4 in 5f handicap at Yarmouth (5/4) 20 days ag. Step up to 7f needs to bring about improvement.

Form: 414

(3)

Hamaleel²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 69

22/1

Showed first form when third of 9 in a maiden at Doncaster (28/1) 25 days ago, making headway under pressure. May improve again but opening mark has suffered as a result.

Form: 873

(5)

Magic Box⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 68| D

1/1

Progressive in nurseries, winning over 7f at Kempton 20 days ago then second of 7 in 6f handicap at Hamilton (10/3) 5 days ago, staying on well despite drop back in trip being against her. Major claims returned to 7f.

Form: 67312

(4)

Carnation Queen⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Russell| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 66

11/1

Left previous form well behind when winning 15-runner seller at York (25/1) 40 days ago, responding well to lead late on. Makes nursery debut and on that evidence, 7f will suit.

Form: 751

Sporting Light²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64

15/8

Quietly progressive in his four runs, third of 6 in handicap at Haydock (18/1) over 6f 20 days ago a sound opening effort in nurseries. Step up to 7f should suit and this represents a drop in class, so he's on the shortlist.

Form: 4633

(2)

Harswell River¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: J Fanning| T: Roger Fell| OR: 53

40/1

Yet to better poor form, most recently seventh of 8 in a 5f nursery here 14 days when outpaced halfway. Looks worth a try at this distance.

Form: 7057

(6)

Monty Magoo^h1⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: Roger Fell| OR: 45

50/1

Poor form in four starts including when far too free in third of 5 in handicap at Beverley (10/1) 8 days ago. 4 lb out of the weights.

Form: 0893

Forecasts

Magic Box (1/1), Sporting Light (15/8), Willowinghurn (4/1), Eclipser (8/1), Carnation Queen (11/1), Hamaleel (22/1), Harswell River (40/1), Monty Magoo (50/1)

MAGIC BOX continued her theme of race-by-race progress when second at Hamilton on Friday and with the reutrn to 7f certainly in her favour, she looks the answer. Sporting Light is showing gradual improvement and this trip looks well worth exploring, with Carnation Queen completing the shortlist.
