Rachel Keatley Memorial Nursery Handicap

                                              300 Yarmouth 17th September
                                                   Nursery Class 4 0-85

A six runner nursery which looks to contain some useful types who could go on their way to better things, although they will do well to emulate Rebel Rebel who went on to finish second in the 2000 guineas having taken this in 2004

Dancealot- Decent sort who ran into two classy fillies on her first two starts, when finishing runner up on both occasions. Then took in a trio of races at Newmarket culminating in a win in a decent nursery off 73. Possibly flattered by the margin of defeat in a listed contest at Salisbury last time, winner under performed, rated 85 on the back of that and will have to produce a career best to take this giving weight to all her rivals

Ghaawy- Michael Stoute juvenile who was well thought enough to go off favourite in a Newmarket maiden on debut. Finished down the field on that occasion but showed plenty of promise when finishing third, beaten 3/4 length, to subsequent listed winner Chief Barker on his next go. Made no mistake on third start when breaking the maiden at odds on at Chepstow last time and comes here with a progressive profile. Very much Respected

If- Has a Brighton maiden to his name after four runs.Only third off this mark last time in a weaker looking nursery and looks up against it here

Solidarity- Godolphin inmate who was very well backed on debut at Sandown but fell out of the stalls and came home a remote seventh. Much improved on second start when he made winning comfortably over nine furlongs at Epsom. Had that race wrapped up a fair way from home, so the drop in trip shouldn't pose a problem. Looks potentially useful and could be nicely weighted here off 77, every chance he will be yet another two year old winner for the boys in blue

Newmarket Warrior- Michael Bell Colt who comes here having ran three solid races without threatening the judge. His middle run when placed behind the useful Expert was much his best and if he can reproduce that form he would have a chance. However on the balance of his form he is likely to find a few too good

Aspenbreeze- Rated 53 and runs here miles out of the handicap, looks outclassed

Verdict- A potentially useful field chasing the pitiful £3700 first prize and Solidarity looks best in at the weights for his red hot team. The betting suggested he was useful prior to his debut, but he was clueless throughout, trailing home a well beaten seventh. Improved a bundle when breaking his duck on his second start and must be every chance he is considerably better than a mark of 77. Dancealot is a likeable sort from a trainer who two year old's continue to do well but it is possible Ghaawy will prove more of a threat to the selection
