Dontlookanyfurther¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 91| D

11/8

Space Traveller colt who is progressing rapidly, supplementing his Redcar novice win under a penalty at Thirsk 2 weeks ago. Was very impressive on latter occasion and with more to come, his opening mark could be lenient.

Form: 611

Siouxperb³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: A Watson| OR: 88| D

6/1

Sioux Nation colt who made a winning start in a Yarmouth (6f) in April. Not ideally placed when down the field in the Coventry at Royal Ascot but quickly back on track when going down fighting in a Newcastle novice (6f) in July. Found the Acomb all too much a month ago and this more realistic.

Form: 1028

Crystal Queen²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Warren Fentiman⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 88

11/1

Confirmed her debut promise when winning the 8-runner Hilary Needler at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in May. No impact in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot and also set another stiff task on first crack at 6f in the Lowther. Nurseries more suitable.

Form: 2100

Tropical Crown⁵⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke| OR: 84

6/1

£100,000 breeze-up purchase who comfortably landed 7-runner novice at Beverley (5f) on debut in July. Fifth of 9 in listed company after and more needed to defy this mark, albeit she's in top hands.

Form: 15

Baddaddan^b1⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Saffie Osborne| T: R Spencer| OR: 83| D

12/1

Confirmed the promise of his Newbury debut (fourth behind a useful pair) when landing 3-runner novice at Nottingham (6f). Struggled faced with a very different test in big-field Newmarket sales race but didn't do a lot better on nursery debut at Doncaster last week. Blinkers reached for.

Form: 4100

Influencer Man^t1²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Mikey Sheehy| T: A Keatley| OR: 82

14/1

Improving Starman gelding who dug deep when bagging 7-runner nursery at Carlisle (5f, good to firm) last month. Runner-up that day won next time but fitted with cheekpieces, he took a backward step at Newcastle. Back up to 6f with a tongue tie now on instead.

Form: 4214

Trumpety Trump¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 80| D

6/1

Showed more than most of stable's 2-y-o debutants when close third of 4 in a muddling race at Ayr in July. Couple of lesser efforts followed but much improved ridden more positively when making a winning nursery debut at Hamilton. 5 lb rise looks very fair.

Form: 3421

(7)

Mind Those Steps^p1,t²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79| D

25/1

Confirmed debut promise when narrowly opening his account at Hamilton in May. Wasn't given a hard time after meeting some early interference in a Newcastle novice before predictably struggling in a valuable sales race a month ago. Cheekpieces added switched to a nursery.

Form: 3100

Gladys Pugh²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: O McSweeney| T: K A Ryan| OR: 78

12/1

Mehmas filly who was much improved from debut when second of 6 in novice at York (6f, good to firm) in July. Unable to repeat that form at Chester and mark looks stiff on balance on first 3 runs.

Form: 526

(8)

Furturra¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Joanna Mason| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76| D

20/1

Already had plenty of racing when doubling his tally in a Redcar novice (6f) in June. Mixed fortunes since but back to form when third of 9 at Thirsk 2 weeks ago. Eased 1 lb so can make his presence felt.

Form: 124053

(2)

Deputy Vice^t¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 74

14/1

Mehmas gelding who has failed to build on a promising debut third in 6f novice at Chester in May in 3 subsequent starts. In very capable hands and mark certainly exploitable if returning to that level.

Form: 3443

(6)

Turnstile⁶³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68

40/1

Fair maiden who was a good third of 15 in seller at York in June. Failed to land the odds next time and far more exposed than most nursery debutants. Just out of the weights and has been gelded.

Form: 733375

(13)

Inns And Out¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67

25/1

Made little impact on nursery debut at Thirsk before having the run of the race when landing a 7f Musselburgh maiden last month. Backed that up when third at Beverley 5 days later so arrives in good order but no easy task from out of the weights.

Form: 536913

Forecasts

Dontlookanyfurther (9/4), Siouxperb (6/1), Tropical Crown (7/1), Trumpety Trump (7/1), Influencer Man (8/1), Deputy Vice (10/1), Crystal Queen (12/1), Gladys Pugh (16/1), Inns And Out (16/1), Furturra (20/1), Mind Those Steps (20/1), Baddaddan (20/1), Turnstile (33/1)

There's depth to this nursery but the eye is drawn to DONTLOOKANYFURTHER who is improving in leaps and bounds ahead of this switch to handicaps from what may well be a good mark. Deputy Vice is a big threat if able to repeat his debut level, while the likes of Crystal Queen and Siouxperb drop down from Group company.
