Miss Roberts⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 79

7/1

Not really gone on from her promising second on the other course her (6f) on debut but faced a stiff task latest and this looks more her level now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 246

(9)

Parker's Piece¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: N Callan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 78

6/1

Good placed efforts in 6f AW events the last twice and could be more to come from this 6-figure breeze-up buy now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 523

(5)

Biloxi Boy²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 76

12/1

Won 5f Ripon novice in June on second start. Bit disappointing twice since (including on nursery debut latest) but 7f should suit if he can get back on track under in-form apprentice.

Form: 3145

(7)

Persian Phoenix²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston| OR: 76| D

25/1

Was suited by the step up to 7f when winning Wolverhampton novice in June but proved to be a disappointment switched to a nursery at Chester (7f, soft) next time. Must bounce back.

Form: 5214

(6)

Quickfire²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: E Walker| OR: 75| D

16/1

Off the mark in thin 7f Lingfield (turf) maiden in June but struggled on handicap debut at Ascot (6f) next time. Mark down 4 lb at least.

Form: 7518

(10)

Sleven²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 75| BF

7/2

Improved further when chasing home a useful-looking newcomer at Pontefract (6f). 7f will suit now tackling a nursery and he can progress again. One to consider for red-hot yard.

Form: 552

(2)

Phoenix Duchess²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 72

13/2

Much improved when third in C&D maiden 3 weeks ago, looking well suited by 7f. Second has won easily since so a 3 lb rise looks workable and she has leading claims on her handicap debut.

Form: 5843

(1)

Lady Wulfrun⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: W Buick| T: A M Balding| OR: 71

9/4

Improving by the run and 7f sure to suit now handicapping. One to note.

Form: 743

(3)

Magic Light¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: R Hannon| OR: 71

16/1

Showed plenty behind a useful-looking one on second start at Windsor (6f) and 7f will suit now going handicapping.

Form: 428

Marroof⁹

Weight: 8-13| Age: 2

Forecasts

Lady Wulfrun (9/4), Sleven (7/2), Parker's Piece (6/1), Phoenix Duchess (13/2), Miss Roberts (7/1), Biloxi Boy (12/1), Magic Light (16/1), Quickfire (16/1), Marroof (20/1), Persian Phoenix (25/1)

PHOENIX DUCHESS ran on well when third in a C&D maiden 3 weeks ago and there should be more to come from her again now handicapping. She gets the vote over Sleven, Lady Wulfrun and Biloxi Boy in a useful-looking nursery.
