Ratings & Stats
Comment
A visually striking debut winner at Newmarket by four and a quarter lengths, and that form puts this one clear on rating even after a long spell on the sidelines since. Shrewd connections and a leading local jockey add encouragement, with the lengthy absence the only real query back over today's trip.

Comment
Beaten only a nose in a novice at Wetherby last time despite a slow break, advancing on previous efforts in the process, and there should be more to come now sporting a first-time tongue-tie. Distance and ground are both proven, marking this out as a leading threat to the form pick.

Matched the level of his debut when second by three and a half lengths in a novice at Kempton last time, and there's plenty of promise about this one. Sporting a tongue-tie for the first time and already proven over today's trip, he rates a genuine leading threat on these figures.

A half-brother to the juvenile-smart Gaenari and out of a dam who shone at five furlongs as a two-year-old, this 40,000gns Starman gelding is yet to race. First runs can take time to fully deliver, but there's a fair pedigree to work with.

Beaten eight lengths in a recent maiden at Leicester, matching the level of his first start, and clearly needs to find more to trouble this field. Rated to be effective over a mile on a sound surface, there's a workable foundation here even if a step forward is still awaited.

A half-brother to the useful-at-a-mile Lehoogg and out of a dam who showed smart form at six furlongs, this gelding by a well-regarded sire has no starts to his name yet. New territory like this is always hard to fancy, though the pedigree offers genuine encouragement for the future.

A half-sister to the smart-at-seven-furlongs Ffion and out of a dam who did well at five furlongs, this filly by a fashionable sire faces a stiff task on her first start. There's a fair page in her favour, even if the litmus test of raw experience awaits.

Comment
Well beaten from off the pace in a novice at Wetherby last time without ever threatening, and a bounce-back is needed after that below-par effort. Distance and ground are both proven, with scope to stay further in time, but the concerning finishing effort leaves this hard to trust.

Well beaten in two runs without showing much spark, this gelding returns from a long absence fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. There's experience of today's trip and a pedigree suited to this range, but plenty still to find before being taken seriously.
