Shazani¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Hector Crouch| T: C Johnston| OR: 79| D

5/1

Hamilton maiden winner in June. Struggled in his first 3 nurseries but back on the up returned to Hamilton when narrowly denied over 6f on soft last month. Might not have been over those exertions when well held at Doncaster only 9 days later.

Form: 179027

(4)

Blewburton³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Mia Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 77

5/1

Won in the mud at Leicester in April. Third in 6f novices on next 2 starts and seemingly failed to stay 7f on Sandown nursery debut at the end of August. Interesting back at 6f on testing ground.

Form: 1337

(5)

Stirrup Cup^b¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| D

7/2

Took a step forward when winning 8-runner nursery at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last month. Backed that up when second of 9 at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago.

Form: 244512

Rare Change¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: R Hughes| OR: 74

3/1

Made a promising start to his nursery career but needs to shrug off a lesser run in blinkers (which are quickly discarded) at the Doncaster St Leger meeting. This sort of ground is an unknown for him.

Form: 643346

(3)

Lilly's Bet²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne| T: W J Knight| OR: 69

7/1

Respectable fourth of 10 in maiden (9/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 21 days ago. Only fifth in her previous nursery. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 553524

(6)

Eighteencaratgold⁵⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 62

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 10 in nursery (5/1) at Kempton (6f) 56 days ago. Won't need to up her game too much to have a big say.

Form: 7554

Forecasts

Rare Change (3/1), Stirrup Cup (7/2), Eighteencaratgold (4/1), Shazani (5/1), Blewburton (5/1), Lilly's Bet (7/1)

BLEWBURTON coped really well with deep ground at Leicester in the spring and might prove the answer to this nursery. Stirrup Cup arrives in form and rates an obvious threat, while Shazani could also have a say if bouncing back to the level of his penultimate Hamilton second.
