(6)

London¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁷⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 65

2/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, first run since leaving Denis Hogan when fourth of 7 in maiden at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. One for the shortlist now pitched into a nursery.

Form: 034

(5)

Bosom Pals¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 63

5/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in maiden (80/1) at Sandown (7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Showed enough when second on penultimate start at Southwell to make her of interest off this mark on nursery debut.

Form: 628

(4)

Moo Deng³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: William Cox| T: A Watson| OR: 63

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 28/1, seventh of 9 in novice at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Needs to raise her game now going down the nursery route, but that is certainly possible.

Form: 647

(8)

Lexington Express^p¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 62

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 5 in nursery (9/2) at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 14 days ago. Likely to be on the premises once again.

Form: 0553

Preminision¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 8 in nursery (8/1) at this course (6f, good) 14 days ago. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 5044

(7)

Harswell River⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Mark Winn| T: Roger Fell| OR: 51

5/1

7/1, fourth of 7 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f) 7 days ago. That represented her best effort yet and she has to enter calculations off this 2 lb lower mark. Yard also saddles Invincible Annie.

Form: 705734

Invincible Annie^p1¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Rowan Scott| T: Roger Fell| OR: 50

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 8 in nursery at this course (6f, good, 15/2) 14 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces sparking improvement.

Popty Ping³²

Weight: 9-7| Age: 2

T: D O'Meara J: D Nolan

Forecasts

London (2/1), Bosom Pals (5/2), Lexington Express (7/2), Popty Ping (4/1), Harswell River (5/1), Moo Deng (12/1), Preminision (18/1), Invincible Annie (33/1)

The well-bred LONDON was third to a subsequent listed winner on her penultimate start at Beverley and while she failed to take a step forward over this C&D next time, the St Mark's Basilica filly may well be seen in a better light now trying her hand in a nursery. Harswell River and Lexington Express rate the main dangers, but Popty Ping will also be a threat if able to shrug off a somewhat subdued effort last time.
