40/1

Took another step forward when winning maiden at Beverley in August. However, raced too freely when last of 5 in nursery at Newcastle (6f, 8/1) 15 days ago. Bounce back called for returned to this shorter trip.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 67

22/1

Third in seller at this C&D in June. After 11 weeks off, possibly needed the run when seventh of 8 in nursery at Southwell (6.1f, 11/2) 27 days ago, but improvement needed back down in trip with blinkers added.

Blazing⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 66

15/2

Improved from debut when second in a Chester novice in July. Failed to repeat that effort when sixth of 13 in another novice at Newcastle (6f, 5/1) 43 days ago, but he's one to note dropped in trip for handicap bow.

Rotokura Belle^p1¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jordan Nason⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 66

12/1

Making nursery debut, produced best effort so far when third of 7 at Ripon (5f, good to firm, 5/1) 18 days ago, clear of rest. Task is now to build on that with cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 75343

Davorge Nation^b⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: O McSweeney| T: D Carroll| OR: 65| CD

11/2

Off the mark when getting the better of Havin A Flyer over C&D in August. Backed that up when third of 14 in nursery at Southwell (6.1f, 4/1) 9 days ago, though shaped as if a drop back to 5f will suit. Interesting with blinkers back on.

Havin A Flyer⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: R Menzies| OR: 64

6/1

Progressed further when runner-up on nursery debut at this C&D in August, before failing to give her running when sixth of 8 in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 7/1) a week ago. No surprise to see her bounce back here.

Forecasts

Arduis Invicta (13/8), U Turn (4/1), Straight Ahead (4/1), Davorge Nation (11/2), Havin A Flyer (6/1), Blazing (15/2), Rotokura Belle (12/1), Kodigara (22/1), Brimfulofattitude (40/1)

Runner-up at this C&D on penultimate start, HAVIN A FLYER could be worth forgiving a lesser effort on all-weather debut last time now returned to this venue. With a high draw to help, she is taken to resume her progress to get off the mark, though U Turn isn't taken lightly back down in grade, with Davorge Nation also considered.
