Koodini^p²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: H Palmer| OR: 69

7/4

Stepped up his form with a pair of runner-up efforts in June but failed to improve as his opening mark requires in first-time cheekpieces when third of 8 at Nottingham (6f, good) just under 3 weeks ago. More required to get off the mark.

Dakota Brave¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Rowan Scott| T: C Johnston| OR: 66

15/2

Upped to 7f for his third start, showed much improved form when ½-length third of 9 in maiden at Newcastle last month. Unable to repeat that effort back on turf at Chepstow a fortnight ago, but this nursery debut may well allow him to resume his progress.

Bigalo²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: K Stott| T: Roger Fell| OR: 64

11/2

Fared better than previously when seventh of 11 in novice at York (6f, good to firm) last month. This switch to a nursery can see him in a better light.

Hamdani Mokhater^p⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: James Horton| OR: 60| BF

6/5

Strong in the betting in first-time cheekpieces (also gelded prior) and improved in finding only a last-time winner too good when second of 10 on nursery debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last week. Obvious claims of going one better.

Forecasts

Hamdani Mokhater (6/5), Koodini (7/4), Little Lady Karen (7/4), Bigalo (11/2), Dakota Brave (15/2)

Having found only a last-time-out winner too strong on nursery bow, HAMDANI MOKHATER gets the verdict to go one better at the expense of Little Lady Karen, who represents the in-form Karl Burke yard and makes the quick switch to nursery company following a pair of in-frame efforts. Dakota Brave rounds off the shortlist.
