6/4
Weakened late on when trying to make all over C&D on his second outing in maidens a month ago. Was an expensive purchase as a yearling and likely to run well again.

7/2
Cost 160,000 Euro's as a yearling in 2015, dam was successful at Group 2 level and is a half-brother to the useful Von Blucher. Yard had a first time out winner here earlier in the week and has to be respected on debut.

25/1
Mount Nelson colt who's pedigree suggests he'll be better over further in time from a yard not known for its maiden winners.

1/1
New Approach colt who cost 150,000 Euro's as a yearling, hails from a top stable and is a half-brother to the classy Woven Lace and is likely to be a leading player in this contest.

40/1
Sakhee's Secret filly and a half-sister to winning 1m2f horse Cacique. Yard better known for their handicap winners and likely best watched in this.

50/1
Looked moderate in three quick outings over at up to 7f last summer and will need to step up markedly on those runs on her first try at a mile here.

Khaleefa Bay
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: Tim Clark(3)| T: Martin Smith
50/1
Cheap purchase as a foal and yard not had many runners thus far in 2017. Probably best watched on debut.

Lady Maritime
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson(3)| T: B R Johnson
25/1
Delegator filly out of an unraced dam. Small yard have a moderate record in maiden events but did have a handicap winner earlier this month.

Forecasts

Royalistic (1/1), Cloud Dragon (6/4), Long John Silver (7/2), Mount Cleshar (25/1), Lady Maritime (25/1), Accomplice (40/1), Just Heather (50/1), Khaleefa Bay (50/1)

Verdict

LONG JOHN SILVER can follow up his yards success with another debutant earlier this week by taking this mile contest. The selection's dam was a useful performer at up to 1m2f claiming three Group contests on the flat during her career whilst the trainer and jockeys 22% (22/98) strike rate when teaming up together on the AW is another pointer to his chances. Royalistic is another well-bred unraced colt and the likely favourite can chase home our selection in second while the experienced Cloud Dragon who finished third over this C&D when last seen out can complete the placings. 1. Long John Silver 2. Royalistic 3. Cloud Dragon
