Yorkshire Queen²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 70

11/2

Lightly raced maiden recorded her best effort on nursery/all-weather debut when second of 6 in nursery at this C&D (4/1) 25 days ago, travelled well into race and only edged out late on. Should give another good account.

Form: 2452

Up The Agenda¹¹

6/5

Improved to take his record in nurseries to 2-3 when successful on all-weather debut in a 4-runner nursery (evens) at this C&D 11 days ago by ½ length from Somebody. Isn't fully exposed on this surface and there could be more to come.

Somebody^b1,t¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer| OR: 67

5/2

Maiden confirmed his return to form when 3/1, ½-length second of 4 to Up The Agenda in nursery at this C&D 11 days ago. Races in a change of headgear and now 2 lb better off here with Up The Agenda. Expected be in the mix again.

9/2

Lightly raced maiden showed improved form when 1¾ lengths third of 4 to Up The Agenda in nursery at this C&D (9/4) 11 days ago. Claims if he can build on that with tongue strap on first time.

Forecasts

Up The Agenda (6/5), Somebody (5/2), Brave Traveller (10/3), Houndhill (9/2), Yorkshire Queen (11/2)

UP THE AGENDA made a successful all-weather debut here last time and is fancied to make it three wins from 4 starts in nurseries. Yorkshire Queen and Somebody both finished second over C&D last time and appeal as the main dangers in a competitive nursery.
