Aleezdancer³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: O McSweeney⁽⁷⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 86| D

7/1

Dual 5f winner at Beverley and Carlisle in May but he came in only fourteenth of 20 in nursery at York (6f) 30 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 411900

(10)

Locke¹⁰^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: B J Meehan| OR: 77| D

5/1

Opened his account at the fourth attempt in 13-runner minor event at Windsor (6f) 10 days ago. Progressing steadily, so he must enter calculations under a 6 lb penalty.

Form: 9421

(8)

Lady Lade³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 82

12/1

Bagged 5f wins at Carlisle and Hamilton before being poorly drawn when thirteenth of 20 in nursery at York (6f) 30 days ago. Not written off by any means.

Form: 5110

(15)

St Andrew's Castle⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 79| CD

40/1

Debut winner over C&D in June but he came in last of 11 in nursery at Haydock (7.2f) 5 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 140

(3)

Lethal Levi²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 79| D

5/1

Consistent sort who gained his second win when landing odds in 6f minor event at Redcar 20 days ago. This demands more back in nursery company, though.

Form: 321221

(2)

Ryan's Party¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 77| D

12/1

Gained his breathrough win over 6f at Hamilton in August. Not ideally placed when fifth of 6 in nursery there 16 days ago, so needs considering eased 1 lb now.

Form: 25615

(11)

Final Account^p1¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76

20/1

Yet to get his head in front but he posted very good second of 6 in nursery at Hamilton (6f) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now, and one for the shortlist.

Form: 25502

(4)

Cotai Class²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 73

18/1

Fair form shown when runner-up in maiden here. Faced stiff task at York last time, so he's no forlorn hope on his handicap debut now.

Form: 4520

(13)

El Maga⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 73| D

66/1

Debut winner at Redcar in June but she arrives below par, only sixth of 8 to Straits of Moyle in nursery at Carlisle (5.8f) 9 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 104096

(1)

Kendred Fire³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 72| D

14/1

Progressive sort who landed 6f Thirsk novice before excellent second of 9 in 6f Ripon nursery 39 days ago. Ought to be competitive again despite 2 lb rise.

Form: 7812

(9)

Ninky Nonk^p⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: G Lee| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 72

28/1

Yet to register a victory, and cheekpieces tried when only seventeenth of 20 in minor event at Doncaster (6.5f) 8 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 254930

(6)

Straits Of Moyle⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 66| D

3/1

Going the right way now handicapping, and he was well on top at the finish when scoring at Carlisle (5.8f) 9 days ago. Expected to be bang there under a 6 lb penalty.

Form: 603541

(14)

Golden Duke¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 71| D

12/1

Opened his account in 6f Kempton nursery in August before very good fourth of 8 at Beverley (5f) 19 days ago. Can make his presence felt again returned to 6f.

Form: 076314

(5)

Ayling^t⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: L F Roche| T: A Keatley| OR: 70

50/1

Fair maiden. Last of 8 to Straits of Moyle in nursery at Carlisle (5.8f) 9 days ago, though, so he needs to get back on track.

Form: 32628

(7)

Jkr Cobbler^t¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine| OR: 64

50/1

Had wind op and tongue strap on before improved seventh of 10 in 7f Thirsk novice 13 days ago. Goes into handicaps now with another step forward needed, however.

Form: 877

Forecasts

Straits Of Moyle (3/1), Lethal Levi (5/1), Locke (5/1), Aleezdancer (7/1), Lady Lade (12/1), Ryan's Party (12/1), Golden Duke (12/1), Kendred Fire (14/1), Cotai Class (18/1), Final Account (20/1), Ninky Nonk (28/1), St Andrew's Castle (40/1), Jkr Cobbler (50/1), Ayling (50/1), El Maga (66/1)

A few with chances, but STRAITS OF MOYLE really looks to be getting his act together now and Richard Fahey's gelding is fancied to follow up his emphatic Carlisle success under a 6 lb penalty. Golden Duke is another going the right way in nurseries though and he rates a big threat returned to 6f. Kendred Fire and Locke are two others for the shortlist in a highly competitive nursery.
