Needs to learn to settle better but seems to be improving with experience and caught the eye when keeping on from the rear for midfield finish in 6f Windsor novice last month; should have more to offer in nurseries.

J: Tom Marquand

Just one win from his 13 starts and inconsistent; however, that victory came over 6f at Doncaster last August and he returned to form with a very close third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) recently; might not be far away.

Improved effort in first-time visor at Doncaster last time (fourth won next time) on second run since being gelded; back in trip but stiff nature of this track should be to his liking; major player.

Made promising debut when keeping-on second at Carlisle (6f, good) in June but two lesser efforts have followed (7.4/5f) and she makes her nursery debut with a point to prove.

Ordinary filly who has inconsistent form; best efforts when second/third over 6f on turf; not a solid option and looks set for minor honours at best.

Best run so far when third at Doncaster on nursery debut in August (6f, good to firm); lesser run on the AW last time; could go well but was a disappointing last of four when favourite on only previous run at beyond 6f.

7lb lower than when winning a Chelmsford nursery (6f, Polytrack) last November and 5lb lower than when second of 11 at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in May, but she has disappointed since; others preferred.

Three 6f wins as a 2yo but she's blown hot and cold this year and has finished down the field in last three starts; on dangerous mark but losing run is now up to ten and others are more convincing; new headgear.

Not living up to her pedigree and was just a respectable fifth on last month's nursery debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) but a recent 2lb drop helps and she could quite plausibly have a bigger run in her.

Not beaten far at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in July, but not so good at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; isn't progressing, but is a half-sister to two AW winners including one here, so she may find a bit more for the different surface.
