Something Coming²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 70

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 13 in maiden (17/2) at this C&D 22 days ago. Looked more straightforward on that occasion than in the past and she's one to consider on nursery debut.

Form: U382

Flash Rascal¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Davies| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 70| BF| C

18/5

Course winner. Winner here in November. 85/40, creditable third of 7 in nursery at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago, running on. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 464013

Paranjape²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Woods| OR: 70

9/2

Thrice-raced winner. 3/1, won 13-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago, responding well. Stepping up in trip for this nursery bow won't be an issue and he needs considering.

Form: 531

Marseillan^t1,p²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: George Wood| T: Lemos Souza| OR: 69| BF

8/1

Form: 325

Zooella²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Edward Greatrex| T: R M Beckett| OR: 69

9/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 4/1) 23 days ago. Shapes as though step up to this trip will be in her favour now pitched into a nursery and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 323

Illy's Roo³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: George Bass| T: J Channon| OR: 69| D

12/1

Successful at Salisbury in October. 4/1, last of 7 in nursery at Newcastle (7.1f) 31 days ago, but could have a big part to play if settling better now switched to polytrack.

Form: 8157

Mollstar¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 69

13/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 9 in novice at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 16/1) 19 days ago. May well do better now faced with a slightly stiffer test on her first run in a nursery.

Form: 443

Rogue Icon²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR: 63

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, good fourth of 9 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f) 20 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and will need to conjure up a bit of improvement if he's to play a part in the finish.

Form: 5664

(3)

Far Too Fizzy⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Doughty| T: D Loughnane| OR: 56| BF| C

12/1

Winner here in October. 10/11, creditable second of 8 in nursery at this course (6f) 7 days ago. Remains feasibly treated, but doesn't appear to be screaming out for the step back up to this trip.

Form: 750152

Forecasts

Flash Rascal (18/5), Zooella (9/2), Paranjape (9/2), Something Coming (13/2), Mollstar (13/2), Marseillan (8/1), Illy's Roo (12/1), Far Too Fizzy (12/1), Rogue Icon (12/1)

It could be worth chancing ILLY'S ROO, who was disappointing on his all-weather debut at Newcastle but he looked promising prior to that and will be a danger to all if able to get back on track now trying a new surface. Flash Rascal has raised his game switched to polytrack the last twice and he is next on the list ahead of nursery debutantes Mollstar and Zooella.
