Comment: Both starts on good ground at Beverley over 5f; made a winning debut in April and built on that when a respectable fourth in the Two Year Old Trophy in May; kept on that day, suggesting this step up to 6f should suit; respected under the penalty.

Comment: Yard isn't renowned for juveniles but he made a fairly encouraging debut when tongue tied and fourth of 11 at Carlisle (6f, soft; 16-1) just over a fortnight ago; some signs of inexperience that day and he ought to be capable of better.

Comment: By Sands Of Mali; first foal; dam 6f 2yo winner on her August debut (only start; RPR 81), half-sister to US stakes-placed 5.5f-8.5f winner Basha, out of useful 8.5f-1m4f winner; debutant but the yard can ready one and his second-season sire is having a big year, getting the Commonwealth Cup winner at Royal Ascot under a fortnight ago; watch the market.

20/1

Off Spin

12/1

Comment: He made a promising start to his career when third of nine at Ripon last August (1m, good) but his two subsequent efforts were less convincing; gelded during his nine-month absence; the debut form gives him a squeak.

Comment: Group 3 win as a 2yo (7f, heavy) but progress levelled off for former stable; down the field at Epsom on his stable debut 25 days ago and 6f on quick ground might be an insufficient test.

Comment: Won his only race when picking up a classified over C&D (good to firm) last August but he's also been second three times here and got no luck when runner-up in a division of this last year; also hit traffic when beaten just over 1l in Lady Of The Garr's race at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last time; firmly on the shortlist with Oisin Murphy taking over.
