Kalokalo⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 60

8/11

Space Blues colt who surpassed his exploits in novice/maidens when finishing very good second of 8 in nursery at Leicester (7f, firm) 9 days ago, clear of rest. Due to be 3 lb higher in future and he looks to hold sound claims of going one place better.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: Jack Morland| OR: 58| D

4/1

Poor form first 4 starts but found application of blinkers/how the race developed in her favour when winning 5-runner nursery at Salisbury (8f, soft, 12/1) 20 days ago, asserting final 100 yds. Raised 4 lb on the back of that and she wouldn't be certain to back that up.

Cocktail Lounge¹⁵

8/1

Acclamation filly. Failed to better form displayed on first 2 starts when fourth of 8 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) 15 days ago. In good hands though, and switch to nurseries now ought to see her in a better light. Market can guide.

Form: 984

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in nursery at Chelmsford City (7f, 4/1) 19 days ago, always behind. Visor on 1st time but others preferred.

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in novice (125/1) at this course (7f, good) 25 days ago. Much more required if he's to be competitive on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Kalokalo (8/11), El Carrusel (4/1), Gullane Girl (4/1), Cocktail Lounge (8/1), Wild Thoughts (8/1), Whiskey Neat (22/1)

KALOKALO found further progress when runner-up on nursery debut at Leicester 9 days ago (nicely clear of remainder) and due to be 3 lb higher in future, this could well emerge as a good opportunity for him to go one place better. Wild Thoughts is an intriguing handicap debutant back from a break having been gelded and he's next on the list, ahead of Salisbury scorer Gullane Girl.
