2YO only | Class 6 | 6f 16y | 7 Runners | Turf

(5)

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 65

Second over C&D first time up before showing good speed when fourth of 11 at Windsor. Ran poorly when sixth of 9 at Kempton 16 days ago on all-weather debut having a third quick run but may do better stepping into nursery company with claimer taking over.

Form: 246

Il Capo¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 64

Modest form at best when down the field all 3 starts to date but now drops in grade for nursery debut and hails from a stable going well.

Form: 678

Dreams Galore¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 62

Some promise when down the field in qualifying for a mark and she's bred to be a useful sprinter so needs a check in the market making nursery debut back up to 6f.

Form: 747

Sovereign Beach³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 59

Hasn't shown much in 3 starts, finishing last of 10 wearing first-time hood in a novice at Newbury last month. Headgear quickly removed for nursery debut and plenty more required.

Form: 560

(6)

Havananother¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Donagh Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 58

Made no great impact to date but showed a bit on second outing to suggest she may have a future in nurseries and may do better now.

Form: 578

So Tempting^p1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: T Ward| OR: 52

Has shown little in 3 novice starts but now wears cheekpieces for the first time on nursery debut and has good-value claimer aboard.

Form: 866

Devon Angel¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: Tyler Heard| T: B R Millman| OR: 45

Showed improvement when keeping-on third of 5 switched to a nursery over 5f at Ffos Las 10 days ago in a first-time tongue strap (now removed). Bit more required to win but step up to 6f looks sure to suit and her stable continues to go well so she's one to take seriously.

Forecasts

Devon Angel (7/4), Absolute Diamond (4/1), So Tempting (6/1), Havananother (6/1), Sovereign Beach (8/1), Dreams Galore (10/1), Il Capo (10/1)

ABSOLUTE DIAMOND is selected to make a winning nursery debut back on turf, having showed good speed on a couple of starts to date. Devon Angel showed improvement when switched to nurseries last time and is feared most, with the step up to 6f expected to suit, while Dreams Galore could reveal a lot more now handicapping.
