(1)

Maasai Mata²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 60| D

6/1

Winner at Catterick in September and best to forgive latest fifth of 11 in nursery at Thirsk (6f, soft) 22 days ago, doing best of those away from the favoured stands rail. No surprise to see her thereabouts.

Form: 524315

(8)

Princess Billyboy⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 59

18/1

Shown little in four starts, finishing sixth of 8 in AW nursery at Chelmsford (6f) 40 days ago beaten when denied clear run. Needs to find some improvement.

Form: 7566

(15)

Gloriola²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 59

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 8 in novice (200/1) at this course (7f, firm) 28 days ago, weakening under 2f out. Improvement required on what she's achieved to date now attentions switch to nurseries.

Form: 668

(14)

Arry Up²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman| OR: 59

9/2

Harry Angel gelding who fared better than previously when third of 12 in novice (125/1) at Windsor (6f, good) on qualifying run 29 days ago. That is something to build on now tackling nurseries for the first time and he's worth a second look.

Form: 793

(13)

Grand Echo¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Charles Bishop| T: M D I Usher| OR: 59

33/1

Best effort was third in Lingfield novice (6f) back in June but underperformed both starts since, off 7 weeks/gelded prior to finishing sixth of 8 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago. Return to sprinting may help now.

Form: 88366

(3)

Thehunnebelllegacy¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 58

7/2

Has progressed gradually this summer, best effort yet when fourth in a Southwell nursery (6f) on penultimate start. Raced freely/caught wide when sixth of 9 in nursery at Chester since and better showing anticipated back at 6f with Warren Fentiman taking off a handy 5 lb.

Form: 655346

(5)

Giles Glory²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: J Parr| OR: 58

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1, ninth of 11 in nursery at Thirsk (6f, soft) 22 days ago, weakening over 2f out. Something to find on form.

Form: 5689

(2)

Lady Lucky Vegas²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 57

6/1

Lucky Vega filly who fared better than previously when third of 8 in maiden at Bath (5f, good to soft, 8/1) 23 days ago. Opening mark will demand a further step forward but that is certainly possible.

Form: 883

(10)

Showcasis Oasis^h,t¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 57

40/1

Form has declined since promising debut at Windsor. 14/1 and hooded for 1st time, fifth of 9 in nursery at Southwell (5f) 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others make greater appeal.

Form: 44685

(6)

Trouser Pocket^t⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: Lemos Souza| OR: 57

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 4 in nursery (10/1) at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm) 49 days ago, going with little fluency and never involved. More needed.

Form: 0584

(9)

Onwardupward^b1¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Frederick Larson| T: Lemos Souza| OR: 57

66/1

Shaped promisingly and showed plenty of speed when fifth in a newcomer's maiden at Kempton (7f) in August. Failed by a long chalk to replicate that either outing since though and market best guide as to expectations now handicapping. Yard also saddle Trouser Pocket.

Form: 580

(12)

Madman^t,v1¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: T Ward| OR: 56

7/1

Respectable fifth of 13 in nursery at Southwell (6.1f, 9/1) 14 days ago, not seen to best effect having been caught wide throughout. Visor on 1st time. Not taken lightly.

Form: 664535

(7)

Lope Y Linda¹⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54

12/1

Lope Y Fernandez filly who has finished well held on 2 of her 3 starts to date, fifth of 8 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good to firm). Given a near 5-month break ahead of this nursery debut and another who needs monitoring in the market for positive vibes.

Form: 685

(4)

Diamond Ali^p1⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Sean Kirrane| T: J & S Birkett| OR: 49

17/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 300/1, faced a stiff task when sixteenth of 20 in sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 45 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and switch to handicaps rates a plus now at least from a basement mark.

Forecasts

Thehunnebelllegacy (7/2), Arry Up (9/2), Maasai Mata (6/1), Lady Lucky Vegas (6/1), Madman (7/1), Giles Glory (8/1), Diamond Ali (17/2), Lope Y Linda (12/1), Princess Billyboy (18/1), Trouser Pocket (18/1), Jane Of The Jungle (25/1), Grand Echo (33/1), Gloriola (33/1), Showcasis Oasis (40/1), Onwardupward (66/1)

Having run out a dominant winner at Catterick on her penultimate start, MAASAI MATA did best of those who raced away from the favoured stands rail when fifth at Thirsk 3 weeks ago. She's worth another chance to prove her revised mark remains workable, with nursery debutant Arry Up and The Hunnebelllegacy heading up the dangers. Lady Lucky Vegas and Madman are also in the mix.
