5/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 7/2, second of 10 in maiden at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm). Off 133 days (gelded in the interim) and each-way chance if taking to this surface.

Form: 632

Great State

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey

16/1

Foaled January 14. 14,000 gns foal, £60,000 yearling, Havana Grey gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m (stayed 1¼m) Chil The Kite. Appealing on paper and market should point the way.

Noodle Mission^h¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: M L W Bell

200/1

Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in maiden (100/1) at Southwell (5f) 18 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line.

So Many Questions

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: H & R Charlton

18/1

Foaled February 9. £85,000 yearling, Showcasing colt. Closely related to 5f winner Mystify Me and half-brother to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Al Raya and 5f/6f winner Grisons. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run but needs a market check all the same.

South Dakota Sioux¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. Last of 12 in minor event (80/1) at Redcar (6f, soft) 14 days ago. Another who will be of greater interest when venturing down the handicap route in due course.

80/1

Once-raced maiden. 5/1, twelfth of 17 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, soft) on debut 33 days ago. First run for yard after leaving G. M. Lyons and looks set for another struggle.

The Big Board¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 86

10/11

Fairly useful filly. Winner at Leicester in July. Creditable second of 8 in nursery at Newbury (6f, heavy, 11/2) 16 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and will surely go close if taking to this surface.

Mountain Run²²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: W G M Turner

400/1

Once-raced maiden. Last of 10 in minor event (50/1) at Kempton (5f) on debut. Off 7 months and she's hard to warm to.

7/4

Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 6 in minor event at this C&D (5/2) 26 days ago. Reproduction of that effort will put her firmly in the picture.

Form: 522

Forecasts

The Big Board (10/11), Pure Angel (7/4), Erosion Risk (5/1), Grace Angel (6/1), Radio Goo Goo (8/1), Great State (16/1), So Many Questions (18/1), Spice Rack (80/1), South Dakota Sioux (150/1), Noodle Mission (200/1), Mountain Run (400/1)

THE BIG BOARD has proved consistent on turf this year, runner-up in a trio of decent nurseries subsequent to opening her account in a Leicester maiden during the summer. She will prove a tough nut to crack on these terms, provided she takes to this surface. Pure Angel's latest effort in a C&D novice represented a further step forward and, with the possibility of better to come, she is feared most. Erosion Risk is best of the rest.
