Too Hot To Love¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: Tom Clover| OR: 60

13/2

Hasn't kicked on from a promising debut at Goodwood. Well held on nursery debut at Chelmsford last month but not ruled out down in grade under a good-value 5 lb apprentice.

Form: 6548

Madman^p1,t¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: T Ward| OR: 58

13/8

Has taken a small step forward in nurseries, tongue strap on for first time (retained) when a creditable fifth of 12 at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Looks the type to benefit from first time cheekpieces and softer ground may help her cope with this sharper test. Should be in the mix.

Form: 76645

Shetakesthegold¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 57| D

6/1

Winner at Catterick (6f) in July and back to form when no match for a thriving winner, finishing second of 6 in nursery at this course (5.3f, good) 14 days ago. The only runner with form on an easier surface and has claims back over 6f.

Form: 921342

Beach Partee^p1¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: W J Knight| OR: 53

9/1

Hasn't progressed since encouraging effort in a fairly useful maiden on debut. Latest fourth of 6 in nursery at this course (5.3f, good) 14 days ago on first start since being gelded. Back up in trip and not ruled out if a change of headgear revitalises him.

Arvana Belle¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: George Wood| T: B R Millman| OR: 49| CD

5/2

Showed little in quickfire novice runs but improved to land a gamble when winning 6-runner nursery at this C&D (good, 11/8) 15 days ago by ½ length from Could Be The Move. Didn't look the finished article that day and solid claims up 4 lb if handling easier conditions.

Could Be The Move^h,t,v1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 46

11/1

Left previous efforts behind when second of 6 to Arvana Belle in nursery at this C&D (good) 15 days ago, may have gone one better had she not hung badly right. Visor should be a positive addition and could run another big race.

Forecasts

Madman (13/8), Arvana Belle (5/2), Shetakesthegold (6/1), Too Hot To Love (13/2), Beach Partee (9/1), Could Be The Move (11/1)

An open-looking nursery. ARVANA BELLE was much improved when winning on nursery debut over C&D and should have more to offer if handling softer conditions. Could Be The Move didn't help her chances by hanging when only ½ length behind Arvana Belle last time and the addition of the visor can help, while the remainder all have a chance if recapturing their best.
