13/8

Comment: Has lots of stamina on dam's side but she made a promising start when a clear second over 6f at Kempton (AW; 25-1) last month; sets a good standard on that form and she should know more this time; key player.

Comment: 60,000euros yearling; Kingman half-sister to winners Fleur De Chine (Listed-placed 7f/9.4f; RPR 103) and Empress Wu (Group-placed 1m2f AW 2yo; 100); dam 1m 2yo winner (89), sister to 1m4f Group 1 winner Madame Chiang; plenty to like on paper and yard is 2-2 with 2yos this season.

Game Striker

Jockey: Joe Leavy Trainer: Hugo Palmer Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 3

8/1

Comment: £40,000 half-sister to four winners notably Light In Paris (7f-8.5f including 2yo; RPR 102); market springer into 7-1 at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 11 days ago but she faded into a 6l third of eight; should benefit from that experience and she needs a major step forward upped in trip.

Comment: 16,000gns yearling; ninth foal; closely related to 1m AW winner Lord Tennyson (RPR 106), half-sister to five winners including Mubaalegh (French 5f/6f including 2yo; 101) and Nibras Passion (UAE 7f; 99); dam placed 5.5f-1m in France; yard is in good form and market should guide on debut.

10/1

Comment: Well held when 5-4 favourite on Beverley debut in April; no impact again at Ascot (5f, good to firm) last month but that was after a difficult start and she made some late headway to finish sixth of 13 behind a useful rival; that was much better than her initial form and she's open to more progress on this step up in trip.

Wren Runner

Jockey: David Probert Trainer: Andrew Balding Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: April foal; first foal; dam 6f Listed winner (RPR 104), half-sister to winners Santry (Group-placed 5f 2yo) and Monsieur Kodi (5f/6f), is granddaughter of 1m4f Group 3 winner; yard 32% with 2yos this season and she needs a close look on debut.

Comment: Winless since coming over from France and has been below market expectations for his new yard the past twice; got the ability off this mark but often misses the break and gets behind, and is ultimately a frustration.

Comment: Progressive last spring and any rain would help but he's struggled in two runs back and will need to settle better than has sometimes been the case over this longer trip; Poncho looks his yard's best shout.

Comment: Shaped with a lot of promise in an ordinary Sandown maiden on 2yo debut (5f, good to firm) when slowly away before seriously impeded; upping her to 6f hasn't been the answer this year but she could be more competitive back at 5f for jumps trainer who's making a go of it on the Flat.

6/1

Comment: Very useful a few years ago but isn't anything like as good or consistent now; ended a long losing run in Jersey a month ago and, while it's unlikely that amounted to much, it won't have hurt confidence dropped a handy 4lb.

6/1

Comment: Only seen a few times last year and pulled hard on his return from ten months off a fortnight ago; stays further than this and rain would help his cause.

7/1

Comment: Two wins and a second in four runs here having chased home Platinum Prince last Friday (1m1f; same terms); the usual cheekpieces go back on down in trip and he'll want a proper test; taken out twice on heavy before, so rain would be a concern.

9/1

Comment: Generally consistent for Richard Hannon last year without winning (1m1f-1m4f); best of those to race prominently on comeback in April before a lesser effort down to 7f here last time (rain would help); possibilities under Simon Walker (14-48 for the yard).

Jockey: Miss Megan Wingrove Trainer: Damien Wingrove Age/Wt: 8/10-8 F: 2609-0 OR: 72

40/1

Comment: Well suited by switchback tracks and is on his last winning mark but he offered very little for his new yard at a big price on his recent comeback; headgear goes back on (first-time cheekpieces).

Contrast

Jockey: Miss Serena Brotherton Trainer: Michael & David Easterby Age/Wt: 11/10-2 F: 1652- OR: 66

Comment: Has won fresh before but he's well into the veteran stage and entitled to need this after seven months off; most wins have come over 1m2f and there's no question rain would suit over this trip.
