Stepped forward from his debut to win a 6f Kempton novice in early-May. Found considerably less here later that month, but back on the up after a 9-week break in first-time blinkers when winning 5-runner nursery at Doncaster (6.5f, good to firm) last week. Capable of better again under a penalty.

Stepped forward from debut when only beaten 4¼ lengths in Coventry at Royal Ascot. Possibly flattered by that effort having finished runner-up in a couple of 7f novices at Sandown/Newbury this month. First-time cheekpieces applied for this nursery debut.

Masar colt who built on debut promise with victory in 8-runner maiden at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in May. Found the Chesham too much at this stage of his career at Royal Ascot last month but could get back on track on nursery debut.

Successful in strongly-run 6f event at Chepstow on debut. Similar form on both subsequent starts, seeing the longer trip out well when third of 10 at Sandown (7f, good) earlier in the month. Makes nursery debut and the booking of Colin Keane catches the eye.

Left debut effort behind when winning a Nottingham novice early last month. Stiff task in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot next time but got back on track on nursery debut upped in trip when second of 4 at Chester (7f, good to firm) just under 3 weeks ago. Considered reunited with Shoemark.

Better than result on debut over 5f in May and took a step forward when winning 4-runner novice at Haydock upped to 7f 11 days later. Ran about as well as could've been expected when fourth of 13 in Woodcote at Epsom (6f) early last month and remains with potential on nursery bow.

Blue Point colt who improved again when winning 7-runner novice at Newcastle (6f) 5 weeks ago, staying on to lead near finish. Has got the right profile to make his mark in nurseries but this is a tough starting point in such company.

Benefited from step up to 6f when winning seller at Chester in May and having stood out on form, made no mistake when following up in a 15-runner similar event at York early last month. Should have no problem with 7f and warrants a second look on nursery debut.

2/1
Created an excellent impression when making a winning debut in 11-runner maiden at Carlisle (7f) last month, overcoming greenness. Beaten only by a couple of promising rivals in a stronger race at Ascot (7f, firm) earlier in the month and can resume his progress now tackling a nursery.

Cotai Glory colt who settled better under a change of tactics and showed improved form when second of 5 in maiden at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 7 weeks ago. Blinkers applied for this nursery debut and he could well take another step forward (gelded since last seen).

Cracksman colt who left debut form well behind to open his account in 12-runner maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May, responding well. Ran poorly in face of a stiff task in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) last month and now heads up in trip for this nursery debut.

Opened her account at the third time of asking in 7f Doncaster maiden last month, making the most of her experience. Turned over at shorter odds than she looked worthy of when third of 4 on nursery debut at Chester (7f) earlier in the month so more is required.

Left debut form well behind when second of 7 in Beverley novice last month and ran to a similar level when third of 6 in maiden at same track (7.4f, good) last time. Step forward needed if he's to get involved on nursery debut (gelded since last seen).

Stepped up on debut when second of 6 in novice at Doncaster in May and similar form in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 6 in novice at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) less than a fortnight later. Freshened up ahead of this nursery debut and needs a market check with headgear discarded.

Kodiac filly who made a winning start in 6f novice at Nottingham in May. Stiff task and never threatened when nineteenth in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot next time but back on the up when third of 5 on nursery debut at Lingfield (7f) earlier in the month. First-time cheekpieces applied.

Has run to a similar level on all 3 outings, most recently when eighth of 12 in novice at Newbury (7f, firm) just under a fortnight ago. Has a bit about him physically and looks the sort who might well do better in nurseries.

Suited by step up to 6f when third of 11 in a novice at York last month. Easy to put a line through his nursery debut there earlier in the month (short of room 2f out) and now upped further in trip.

Forecasts

Mia Fantasia (2/1), The Bookkeeper (3/1), Cilician (9/1), Shadow King (9/1), Wise And Wonderful (10/1), The Ginger Kid (11/1), Primal (12/1), Caeruleus (14/1), Leave The Bag In (18/1), My A'ali Baba (25/1), Rocket Boots (28/1), Sword Salute (33/1), Everatease (33/1), High Hazard (40/1), Cash Cove (40/1), Crazy Cubana (50/1), Agitator (66/1), Rbflying (125/1)

Verdict

A traditionally strong and valuable nursery in which cases can be made for several. Preference is for MIA FANTASIA, who created an excellent impression when making a successful debut at Carlisle last month and Hugo Palmer's colt is fancied to kick on now making a quick switch to nurseries. Wise And Wonderful made it third time lucky at Epsom recently, so she heads up the opposition on nursery bow, with The Bookkeeper and Shadow King another couple worthy of consideration, too.
