100,000 gns yearling finished fifth on debut in race that has produced winners. Again too keen when third of 9 in novice at this course (7.1f, 16/1) 21 days ago. Interesting if she can settle better upped to 1m on handicap debut.

Third over C&D penultimate start. Hooded for first time (retained) and improved when winning 10-runner maiden (40/1) at Musselburgh (7.1f, soft) 44 days ago, responding well. Makes handicap debut but step back up in trip will need to bring about a bit more improvement.

4/1
Saxon Warrior filly who improved when winning 10-runner novice at Newcastle (8f) 12 days ago, looking well suited by the demands of the track. First off bridle but progressed again when runner-up on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (clear of rest) and will be suited by longer home straight here.

Quirky sort ran poorly when 6/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 46 days ago. Makes handicap debut over longer trip but others look more solid.

Palace Pier filly has offered something to work with in all-weather maiden/novice company, latterly 150/1, eighth of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f) 79 days ago. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut and could be an improver.

Useful pedigree but no better than modest form to date, sixth of 9 in novice (8/1) at this course (7.1f) 21 days ago. In excellent hands however and no surprise to see improvement upped to 1m with blinkers on first time for nursery debut.

Enthusiastic front-runner improved to get off mark at Yarmouth in October and backed it up with a creditable third of 9 in nursery at this course (7.1f, 11/1) 21 days ago. Player if seeing out the longer trip in a change of headgear.

Attracted some support and ran clearly his best race upped to 1m when second of 8 in nursery at Newcastle (8f) 17 days ago, clear of third who won next-time-out. One to consider.

Regressed for Gordon Elliott (sold for £1,000) but showed something on stable debut having been backed at long odds, third of 7 in nursery at Newcastle (8f) 32 days ago. One to note if the money comes again.

Forecasts

Archangel Josepi (10/3), Emma's Letter (4/1), My Shagaf (5/1), Stay Sharp (11/2), Florida Suite (6/1), India Gold (13/2), Farabove The Limit (14/1), Prancy Peer (16/1), Katalyst (25/1)

Verdict

In a wide-open nursery, it could pay to take a chance on MY SHAGAF who looks a potential improver now tackling handicap company. Prancy Peer is another who could progress for the switch to nurseries, while Emma's Letter can take a while to get going but is improving and will be suited by the longer home straight here. Florida Suite is another to note on handicap bow for the Haggas stable.
