Weatherbys VAT Services Nursery Handicap

Form of debut win at Pontefract hasn't worked out. Flying too high in the Windsor Castle before failing to see out his race on nursery debut at York. Does benefit from a drop in grade here.

Improved to get off the mark in an ordinary maiden at Pontefract (6f) last month. Handicapper has at least offered some respite following 5¼-length defeat on nursery debut at Hamilton.

Split an above-average pair on debut at Bath. Ran to similar level when second in relatively valuable Goodwood seller before finding Newbury's Super Sprint too competitive latest. Opening mark requires more, though yard 3-8 with nursery debutants last month.

Son of Sioux Nation who cost 85,000 gns. Gelded prior to pushing an odds-on favourite all the way in match race at Ayr (6f) on qualifying run. That form is hard to assess, but he still rates as one of the more likely winners on nursery debut.

Son of No Nay Never. Still looked extremely raw when beaten less than 5 lengths in a Doncaster novice that's worked out well on qualifying run. Subsequent gelding operation likely to have done him the world of good. Could capitalise on a potentially lenient opening mark.

Built on her debut promise when a hard-fought winner of an ordinary Chepstow maiden (6f) 10 days ago. Good-value claimer retained and doesn't have much improvement to find on nursery bow.

Well-backed fourth (front 3 all improved next time) at Chester on second start. Gelded following a wayward performance at Bath and looked more straightforward when 3¾ lengths fourth at Southwell latest. Needs to build on that now switched to a nursery.
