(5)

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 60

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, caught wide when last of 7 in nursery at this course (7.1f) 39 days ago. Likely to prove best at further.

Form: 5087

(9)

Baggot Street^p¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: C Johnston| OR: 60

Respectable fifth of 9 in nursery (16/1) at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 443545

(2)

Flying Macs⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: George Bass| T: M D I Usher| OR: 59

18/1, seventh of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7f) 48 days ago but was third at Chelmsford off 3 lb higher prior to that. Not discounted if able to bounce back.

Form: 453537

(10)

New Objective⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Jack Morland| OR: 58

Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 66/1) 43 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Could get back on track sent handicapping back up in trip but has high draw to contend with.

Form: 690

(3)

Mereside Princess^b²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: T D Barron| OR: 58

Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 6 in nursery at Newcastle (6f, 9/1) 24 days ago. Should remain competitive.

Form: 04833

(11)

Uncle Nader^p1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 57

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1 and blinkered for 1st time, good second of 8 in nursery at Chelmsford City (8f) 15 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Drop back in trip perhaps not an obvious plus but he has to be shortlisted on the back of that good effort.

Form: 5082

(6)

Popty Ping^v1¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara| OR: 57

Placed for the third outing in a row when third of 8 in nursery (5/1) at Newcastle (8f) 10 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Has to be taken seriously from unchanged mark.

Form: 476323

(8)

Watchdog⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 56

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 15/2) 48 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Something to find on form.

Form: 4586

(4)

Giles Glory^b1⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J Parr| OR: 52

5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, labouted effort when fourth of 8 in nursery at Leicester (7f, soft) 45 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Blinkers on 1st time. Probably wants further now.

Form: 568974

(7)

Diamond Ali^p¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Dylan Hogan| T: J & S Birkett| OR: 51

Good second at Leicester on penultimate start but disappointing when down the field at Chelmsford last time. Place claims if able to bounce back.

Form: 070427

(1)

Havana Song²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 45

Down the field all 4 starts, including on nursery bow last time.

Form: 8778

Forecasts

Uncle Nader (3/1), Mereside Princess (7/2), Popty Ping (9/2), Watchdog (8/1), Baggot Street (10/1), Giles Glory (12/1), Diamond Ali (12/1), Flying Macs (14/1), New Objective (14/1), Heated Moment (20/1), Havana Song (33/1)

POPTY PING has a first-time visor applied and can gain reward for a string of consistent efforts in defeat. Mereside Princess rates next best going back up in trip, the return to a bigger field likely to help her, whilst Uncle Nader stayed on well over 1m at Chelmsford last time and would also be in the mix if coping with the drop to 7f.
