Imperium Blue¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 86| D

9/4

Marked progress in each of 3 runs for Jamie Osborne and carried on that theme when landing York nursery starting out for Nigel Tinkler. Matched that effort when second last time so he's a big player.

Form: 95112

(6)

Sir Benedict⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: Ian Williams| OR: 82

6/1

Sandown 5f novice winner before improved second next time. Wasn't seen to best effect (unable to get to front) on handicap bow at Chester 6 weeks ago so well worth another chance from the same mark.

Form: 4128

(4)

Harmony Lil²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 77| D

6/1

Novice/nursery winner over this trip at Chester in September but was out of her depth in listed company at York last month. Up 4 lb and certainly not discounted.

Form: 654118

(5)

Isle Of Lismore^p²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 75| D

11/1

Winner at Redcar in June. Shaped encouragingly when eighth in valuable event at Newmarket (6f, heavy) last month but failed to build on that down in class a fortnight later. Makes handicap bow.

Form: 6184

(2)

Intrusive¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: S De Sousa| T: L A Dace| OR: 73| D

9/1

Off the mark at third attempt in an 8-runner minor event at Ayr (6f, heavy) last month but as expected, struggled upped in grade here a fortnight ago. Makes handicap bow on first start for new yard.

Form: 0416

(1)

Glinbury¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

6/1

Thrice-raced maiden who's best effort came on penultimate start when runner-up at Catterick. Step back up in trip should suit for his handicap debut.

Form: 626

(7)

Gaelic Secret²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 67

9/2

Thrice-raced maiden who match previous form let alone improve on handicap/all-weather debut at Newcastle (6f) 25 days ago. Must improve to feature but that's a possibility.

Form: 335

Forecasts

Imperium Blue (9/4), Gaelic Secret (9/2), Sir Benedict (6/1), Glinbury (6/1), Harmony Lil (6/1), Intrusive (9/1), Isle Of Lismore (11/1)

Impossible to rule out any of these, but preference is for IMPERIUM BLUE, who made a winning start for Nigel Tinkler and matched that effort when runner-up at Nottingham 10 days ago. He's clearly in fine heart, and can take his tally to 3 wins from 6 runs. Intrusive heads up the dangers on his handicap/yard debut, ahead of Glinbury, who should appreciate this step back up in trip.
