Miss Anya^p1⁶³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 72| BF

17/2

7/4, very good second of 9 in nursery at this C&D 63 days ago, sticking to task. Needs considering despite a 2 lb rise in her bid for a maiden success.

Form: 522442

(5)

The Liegeman²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Joshua Bryan| T: A Watson| OR: 70| D

3/1

Lightly-raced sort who landed 8-runner nursery at Lingfield (5f, AW) 21 days ago, well on top finish. On the upgrade recently so he's very much one to consider despite taking a 7 lb hike in the weights.

Form: 66431

(8)

Graceful Mary⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 70| C

9/2

Built on her debut third to land 12-runner maiden here (6.1f, 10/3) 43 days ago. Makes handicap debut and much respected.

Form: 31

(4)

Vice Captain⁹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott| OR: 69| D

11/1

Winner at Bath in September but below-form fourth of 8 in nursery at Catterick (5f, soft) since. Off 94 days ahead of his tapeta debut with more needed.

Form: 434314

(6)

Mart¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 67| D

5/2

Latest win at Newcastle in November. Creditable third of 11 in nursery (4/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago, nearest finish. Can give another good account off the same mark.

Form: 668113

(3)

It's Showtime¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C Allen| OR: 65

10/1

Thrice-raced maiden who posted a creditable third of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) 15 days ago. Makes handicap debut with more required at these weights.

Form: 443

(10)

Wrestling Revenue⁸³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: William Cox| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65

50/1

Lightly-raced ex-Irish maiden. 50/1 and visored for 1st time, only seventh of 11 in nursery at Navan (5.8f, soft) 83 days ago on his final run for Sean Davis. No forlorn hope now handicapping for his new yard though.

Form: 04507

(9)

Free As A Bird²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 63

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Only fair fifth of 7 in nursery (22/1) at Kempton (6f) 20 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 7435

(2)

Relentless Warrior^t1²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 63| BF

18/1

Gelded and not discredited when sixth of 8 to The Liegeman in nursery at Lingfield (5f, AW, 5/4) 21 days ago. One to consider on his tapeta debut.

Form: 026406

(1)

Interestnpenalties⁸¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62

33/1

Fair ex-Irish maiden but only eleventh of 14 in nursery at Dundalk (7f, 20/1) 81 days ago on his final start for Sean Davis. Handily weighted though if back on track for his new handler.

Form: 46740

Forecasts

Mart (5/2), The Liegeman (3/1), Graceful Mary (9/2), Miss Anya (17/2), It's Showtime (10/1), Vice Captain (11/1), Free As A Bird (12/1), Hot Front (12/1), Relentless Warrior (18/1), Interestnpenalties (33/1), Wrestling Revenue (50/1)

A tight-knit nursery in which marginal preference is for HOT FRONT who shaped well on her debut for David Evans when a C&D fourth and can now capitalise on a 2 lb lower mark. Lingfield-scorer The Liegeman arrives on the up and seems sure to be in the mix while C&D second Miss Anya and Tony Carroll's new recruits Wrestling Revenue and Interestnpenalties need factoring in too.
