Moyola^t⁵⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 69| CD

10/1

Career best when winning 11-runner C&D nursery 57 days ago. Had plenty in hand so even a 10 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent him making a bold bid if in similar form.

Alfa Whiteburd³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: T Eaves| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 67

8/1

14/1

Strong in the market and much improved when making a winning nursery debut in 11-runner event at Kempton (6f) 31 days ago, driven out. Another who has to enter the reckoning.

Form: 5751

Forecasts

Appellant (9/2), Petra Celera (5/1), Magic Fluke (13/2), Bulldog Drummond (7/1), Alfa Whiteburd (8/1), Split The Profit (9/1), Moyola (10/1), Morning Suit (12/1), Hearitfortheboys (14/1), Bluebell Grove (14/1), Mariamne (25/1), Vitarli (66/1)

A competitive nursery. BULLDOG DRUMMOND didn't enjoy the rub of the green at Wolverhampton last time and might prove the answer for the George Boughey team. Morning Suit likely has more to give on the back of his Lingfield maiden success and is second choice ahead of Hearitfortheboys and Petra Celera.
