Swordplay⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: B A Curtis| T: C Johnston| OR: 77| CD

17/2

C&D novice winner in June but has finished down the field on both nursery starts in recent weeks. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 21305

Bellarchi⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 71

7/4

Has improved to win a Catterick novice and Carlisle nursery (both 5f, good) in recent weeks. 6 lb penalty is unlikely to prevent this thriving filly playing a leading role again.

Form: 332211

Chumbaa^p⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 68| CD

7/2

Took an age to get off the mark but it's clicked lately, coming good in C&D maiden before following up on 5f Ripon nursery debut last Tuesday. The quick turnaround is unlikely to be an issue for one taking her racing really well.

Form: 232311

Indication Call^p1⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 73

6/1

Put experience to good use when winning in a first-time visor at Ayr in May. Hasn't advanced her form in nurseries since but she was a little better than the result when fourth of 6 at Beverley last time, caught further back than ideal after a sluggish start.

Form: 221274

Dc Flyer⁴⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 63| CD

11/4

Improved when off the mark in a 4-runner C&D nursery in July, making all. Raised 6 lb for that but she's unexposed at this trip and may do better again.

Form: 9581

(6)

Nana's Ancestors¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: T P O'Shea| T: J S Goldie| OR: 47

125/1

Poor form at best. 80/1, last of 12 on 7.5f Beverley nursery debut 19 days ago. 9 lb out of the handicap and easy to look elsewhere again.

Form: 5360

Forecasts

Bellarchi (7/4), Dc Flyer (11/4), Chumbaa (7/2), Indication Call (6/1), Swordplay (17/2), Nana's Ancestors (125/1)

Nick Bradley owns half the field and this might develop into a straight fight between his durable pair CHUMBAA and Bellarchi, with narrow preference for the former as both go in search of quick-fire hat-tricks.
