Ahead Of Time²⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: T Eaves| T: D M Simcock

7/2

Big step up in trip from debut run at Kempton last June. Cost plenty as a yearling and should have more to come this season.

Form: 3-

Alabaster¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

6/5

Given an easy enough introduction at Lingfield last month and should come on plenty for the outing. May be seen to better effect in handicaps.

Form: 5411

Indian Red¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁷⁾| T: M H Tompkins

50/1

Plenty of winners in the family and trainer has been among the winners in recent weeks. Potential to be better over further and with more experience.

Form: 744

Specialist⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

12/1

Trainer only has an average record with three-year-old debut runners on the AW (12% strike-rate) although pedigree does hold plenty of promise and a market move would likely be significant.

Traveller^t⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Michael J M Murphy| T: C Hills

5/1

Small signs of promise on two previous career starts and more experience than the rest of his rivals but may prove more dangerous in handicaps.

Form: 5-531

Dubai Waves²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer

11/1

Trainer not renowned for debut AW winners (5% strike-rate) although does do well at this track with his three-year-olds and older horses (8/22).

Form: 253

Faience³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: B A Curtis| T: W J Haggas

8/1

A few glimmers of promise early doors on debut at Kempton last month but needs to step on plenty from that effort. Should improve.

AHEAD OF TIME is the most interesting of this field and he should be suited by this step up in trip on his first start as a three-year-old. Dubai Waves is of a certain level of interest due to his trainer's fine record at the track with his three-year-old and older horses whilst Alabaster can run well as he takes another step towards gaining a handicap mark. 1.
