Close second at Southwell on Friday but she's exposed and this return to 6f is a worry

Five-race maiden and he's finished down the field in both nurseries; others preferred

Record of 1-10 but she's finished close up on Polytrack in last two starts; in the mix
2 (4)	Slack Bob Bay J:Charles Bishop T:Ed Dunlop	J:Charles Bishop T:Ed Dunlop	135	—	995	65	67	37	19d	—	—	-5	7.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Promising fifth at Chelmsford (7f) last time and he needs a close look on nursery debut

Inconsistent filly who is 1-9 and comes with risks attached after a break
1 (6)	Stock Market Bay J:Kieran Shoemark T:Tony Carroll	J:Kieran Shoemark T:Tony Carroll	135	—	05094	65	64	-	68d	—	—	-3	6.3	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Ex-Aidan O'Brien; changed hands for 9,000gns and market should guide on stable debut

Prominent on inner - switched right and ridden over 1f out - went second inside final furlong - kept on well inside final 110yds(op 17/2 tchd 14/1)
5 (3)	Shotgun Bay J:Hector Crouch T:Oliver Cole	J:Hector Crouch T:Oliver Cole	132	t	030	62	68	38	21d	—	—	+2	6.1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Well-bred filly and she's a possible improver with tongue-tie added on nursery debut
8 (7)	Real Gold Bay J:Ryan Kavanagh(5) T:Rachel Cook & John Bridger	J:Ryan Kavanagh(5) T:Rachel Cook & John Bridger	129	—	6963	59	70	34	20d	—	—	+3	6.2	6.25/1	25/1 4%
No impact in four runs but she still has potential and this is more realistic
10 (8)	Electrocution Bay J:Joey Haynes T:Chelsea Banham	J:Joey Haynes T:Chelsea Banham	123	—	886	53	64	34	26d	—	—	-1	1.6	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Well held at massive prices in novice/maiden events; needs improvement on nursery debut
