Colm White Bookmakers Nursery Handicap

2YO only | 5f | 14 Runners | Turf

(6)

Age: 2| Weight: 9-12| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 70| BF

From a useful sprinting family and got back on track when second of 8 in maiden at Navan (5f, good) just over a fortnight ago, though still falling below the form she'd shown when filling the same position on debut. This switch to a nursery could elicit some progress.

Form: 202

New Mexico⁷⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: Robson Aguiar| OR: 65

105,000 gns purchase who looks limited on early evidence, failing to have the pace to make the most of the plum draw when seventh of 8 in maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good) back in early-July. Needs this switch to a nursery to prove transformative.

Form: 567

(3)

The Drambling Man^p1⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Julian Pietropaolo⁽⁷⁾| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 62

Has shown more temperament than ability in maidens/nursery so far. Hard to think first-time cheekpieces will make much difference.

Form: 69690

Invincible Irish¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Coen| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 61

Shown little at long odds on all 3 starts, including in a first-time hood earlier in the month. Makes nursery debut with the headgear quickly discarded.

Form: 007

(12)

Summer Sent You¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: K J Condon| OR: 60

Progressing gradually and made more impact than previously when third of 10 on nursery debut at Down Royal (7f, good) just under a fortnight ago. Drops to a sprint trip for the first time and she's worth keeping a close eye on.

Form: 0053

(5)

Lily Bear^h⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Colin Keane| T: M C Grassick| OR: 59

Finished runner-up in a barrier trial but soundly beaten all 3 starts, out of her depth in a valuable sales race at this track (6f, good) early last month. Makes nursery bow in a reapplied hood and the booking of Colin Keane catches the eye.

Form: 700

(13)

Little Diva²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 56

Failed to build on the minor promise she showed on her qualifying run when sixth of 8 on nursery debut at Navan (6f, good) 3 weeks ago. Handicapper drops her 3 lb and it's too soon to be writing her off.

Form: 5906

(8)

My Irish Lady³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 56

Remains with little form to her name, showing good speed when tenth of 16 in maiden at Cork (5f, good) just under 5 weeks ago. Could take a significant step forward now tackling a nursery for the first time.

Form: 600

(10)

Stellar Path^t³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Rory Cleary| T: K P Cotter| OR: 54

Down the field all 5 starts, well out of her depth in listed company at the Curragh last month. Cheekpieces discarded for this return to a nursery.

Form: 98890

(9)

Amigos Legacy⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Mel Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 53

Offered little in all 3 starts, most recently after 3 months off at Galway (7f, soft) in late-July. Back sprinting and needs this switch to a nursery to spark major improvement.

Form: 670

(14)

Docks⁶⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: P W Flynn| OR: 52

Still to even hint at ability in 3 starts. Makes nursery bow.

Form: 900

(7)

Ballymackney^b¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade| OR: 51

Has shown little in 4 starts, including in first-time headgear on nursery bow at Down Royal (7f, good) earlier in the month. Quickly back sprinting and needs to up her game.

Form: 7908

(11)

Siege Of Tyre³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Andrew Slattery| T: K P Cotter| OR: 49

Well held all 3 starts. Drops to the minimum trip for her nursery bow and could show more. 2 lb out of weights.

Form: 080

(2)

Santo Parvenue^b1⁷⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Nathan Crosse| T: E & P Harty| OR: 47

Looks limited on early evidence, seventh of 9 in maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good) when last seen 11 weeks ago. Blinkers on for this nursery bow and needs a lot more improvement. 4 lb out of weights.

Form: 447

Forecasts

Annie Batt (9/4), Summer Sent You (3/1), Ballymackney (10/1), New Mexico (10/1), Invincible Irish (10/1), Little Diva (12/1), Santo Parvenue (12/1), My Irish Lady (14/1), Lily Bear (20/1), Amigos Legacy (20/1), Stellar Path (20/1), Docks (20/1), Siege Of Tyre (25/1), The Drambling Man (33/1)

SUMMER SENT YOU is progressing gradually and having made more impact than previously switched to a nursery when third at Down Royal earlier in the month, Ken Condon's filly gets the nod dropped to a sprint trip for the first time. Her main threat may emerge from Annie Batt, who has finished runner-up twice from her 3 outings and is now sent handicapping. Little Diva could sneak a place at forecast longer odds.
