Improved slightly on previous 2 efforts when third of 13 in a 7f novice at Salisbury (good) 28 days ago. Makes handicap debut and should go well now stamina is tested further.

5/2

Lightly-raced maiden who improved on his exploits in novice company when third of 5 in nursery (6/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 22 days ago, effort 2f out and running on. Rider takes off handy 5 lb and respected on first crack at 1m.

Brindavan²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: S Woods| OR: 75| BF

5/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, creditable second of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) 25 days ago, sticking to task. Makes handicap debut and no reason why he won't give another good account.

Harmonia¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: P D Evans| OR: 73

12/1

Time Test filly who has improved for the switch to nurseries/step up in distance, lining up here having tasted success in 7f event at Catterick/Thirsk. Steps up in class now but increase in trip could unlock further progress. Not out of things by any means.

Pivotal Days⁵⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: E Walker| OR: 70

13/2

Son of Mohaather who has progressed steadily in 3 starts to date, third of 4 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 56 days ago. Gelded since and likely there's more to come now handicapping so worth noting if betting speaks in his favour.

Defence Missile (9/4), Brindavan (5/2), Chelsea Embankment (5/2), Pivotal Days (13/2), Harmonia (12/1)

Competitive despite the small field with DEFENCE MISSILE given the nod on nursery debut. His opening mark looks workable on what he's achieved to date and this longer trip promises to suit Eve Johnson Houghton's charge. Chelsea Embankment is another likely to be suited by the step up to 1m and could be the danger.
