Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 76| D

7/2

Much improved when landing 6f York nursery but only fair fifth of 8 in similar event at Goodwood (6f, firm) last time, though he did too much in front. Sort to bounce back so not ruled out.

Tatsthewaytodoit¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: S A Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 73

8/1

Fair maiden but (50/1) only tenth of 12 on nursery bow at York (6f) 13 days ago. Needs lot more here.

Form: 8250

Two Cop Bop¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 68| BF

1/1

Progressive gelding who (11/10) posted excellent second of 8 in nursery here (5f, good to soft) 19 days ago, conceding first run to winner. Up 3 lb but has more to offer up in trip so leading claims.

Form: 632

Mister B²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 66

14/1

Yet to make the frame all three runs, gelded before seventh of 8 in novice at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Makes handicap debut and needs a big step forward.

Form: 757

Polastri³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65| BF

15/2

Failed to build on debut Catterick second when (5/6) only fifth of 6 in maiden at Pontefract (5f, good) 32 days ago. Into handicaps now and worth another chance.

Form: 25

Dan De Light²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65

10/1

Has been brought along steadily and (18/1) not disgraced when fifth of 11 in maiden at Beverley (5f, firm) 20 days ago, not knocked about. Back up in trip now for nursery bow and in the mix.

Form: 885

Forecasts

Two Cop Bop (1/1), Julie Johnston (7/2), Polastri (15/2), Tatsthewaytodoit (8/1), Dan De Light (10/1), Mister B (14/1)

Question marks over a few of these so Kevin Ryan's progressive TWO COP BOP is hard to oppose as he arrives on the back of an excellent second in a 5f nursery here, with the promise of more to come upped in trip. Dan De Light appeals as the one to give him most to do now he goes into nurseries back up in trip, although Mark Johnston's York-winner Julie Johnston could easily have a say too.
