Leaderofthepack^p1⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 66

14/1

Cost just £2,500 as a yearling but not disgraced in minor events before finishing mid-division on his nursery debut over 6f at Wolverhampton. Dropped 3lb and may improve for cheekpieces.

Form: 8536

(14)

Gabrial The Devil³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 65

2/1

Best effort when a runner-up from a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton (6f) last month and not disgraced from the worst of the draw at Chester last time. Much more in favour now and is one to consider.

Form: 955624

(12)

Crown Of Cortez^b³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64| C

11/4

Struggled initially but stepped up on previous form when winning over 7f here last time out in first-time blinkers. Should progress but drop in trip and a 7lb higher mark to contend with.

Form: 6671

(2)

Medici Oro⁵²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: T Eaves| T: D H Brown| OR: 62

20/1

Form has taken a few of backward steps since a promising enough debut at Hamilton, finishing a well-beaten fourth on the fibresand last time out in August. Gelded since, so improvement may be forthcoming.

Form: 3764

(8)

Christmas Night²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: A Mullen| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 61

10/1

Had shown ability when not beaten far in a claimer and seller but well beaten on his nursery debut on the AW in August and in a soft-ground claimer last time. Has a bit to prove.

Form: 742296

(11)

Swissal³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: David Dennis| OR: 61

20/1

Cost €55,000 as a yearling and offered plenty to work on when a 3L sixth on his debut over 6f at Windsor but has regressed with each run since, beating only two home on his nursery debut. Still too early to write off.

Form: 6787

(5)

Forest Dragon^p⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Louis Steward| T: H Palmer| OR: 61

9/1

Little impact in minor events but showed improvement in first-time cheekpieces when making a nursery bow over 6f at Catterick, finishing fourth of 12. Every chance here if handling the switch to the AW.

Form: 9964

(13)

Bibbidibobbidiboo²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: G Lee| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 59

11/1

Bits and pieces of promise in minor events but well-held in both starts in nursery company over 1m and 7f. Drops back in trip for her AW debut and, though her mark is falling, her yard is very quiet right now.

Form: 74447

(9)

Isabella Ruby^h²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 56

33/1

Cheap purchase who was hooded on her debut at Carlisle (7f, heavy) and ran no sort of race. Flickers of improvement in two runs since, though still hard to fancy as she makes an AW and a nursery debut.

Form: 755

(1)

Hypnotic Dancer³³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 53

14/1

No impact in maidens and minor events but a close second over 5f at Wolverhampton on her nursery debut in August. Took a step backwards at Musselburgh next time and question marks stepping up to 6f.

Form: 05426

(4)

Lord Of The Glen^p²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: J P Sullivan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 49

28/1

Inconsistent, eight-race, maiden who wasn't at his best at Redcar last time but had previously shown up well when fourth of 14 over 5f at Musselburgh. Others more persuasive.

Form: 575840

(10)

Chef United¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: Joe Doyle| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 48

66/1

Very cheap purchase who made no impact in minor events at long odds before finishing stone last on her nursery debut at Ayr (1m, soft). Not hard to overlook as she drops in trip.

Form: 0000

(7)

Partry Flyer^v³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-1| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁷⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 45

50/1

Soundly beaten in all four of his outings to date, most recently when 10th of 11 on his nursery debut over 7f here. Readily opposed on what he's served up so far.

Form: 9870

Forecasts

Gabrial The Devil (2/1), Crown Of Cortez (11/4), Forest Dragon (9/1), Christmas Night (10/1), Bibbidibobbidiboo (11/1), Leaderofthepack (14/1), Hypnotic Dancer (14/1), Call Dawn (16/1), Swissal (20/1), Medici Oro (20/1), Lord Of The Glen (28/1), Isabella Ruby (33/1), Partry Flyer (50/1), Chef United (66/1)

Low grade stuff and recent course winner, Crown of Cortez (only previous scorer in the line-up) makes obvious appeal even though he has a drop up in trip and a 7lb higher mark to contend with. Preference though is for GABRIAL THE DEVIL who wasn't seen to best effect on soft ground from the worst of the draw at Chester last time but had previously gone close from a higher mark in a better race on his nursery debut at Wolverhampton. Forest Dragon looks the pick of the remainder.
