Hasn't shown a lot in two Flat starts to merit nomination coming back off a break though does have a good man his back for this AW bow.

Struggled greatly in a pair of maidens at this venue either side of Christmas, hard to fancy on that evidence.

Weakened out of it having been ridden prominently over a mile here last week, has plenty to find on form now stepped up in trip.

Without a win in six start under jumps rules, first time on the Flat now and market may be best guide to what is expected.

Has really struggled all three career starts, will need to find the AW very much to his liking if going to strike a blow now.

Three good runs in maiden company over the mile at this course, steps up in trip with tongue strap on and should improve.

Frozen Power gelding makes first racecourse appearance and has enough ability on breeding to merit respect, worth market check.

Shamardal gelding is very much one to look out for on debut representing excellent trainer/jockey combination.

Another gelding out of Shamardal, cost a pretty penny as a yearling and will be intriguing to see how he goes on the track with top jockey booked for the ride on debut.

Mare doesn't make any appeal based on two spins around here for former trainer, first outing for new yard in this and looks best watched.

Blinkers go on now but two recent efforts at this track suggest they'll do well to land him in contention.

Forecasts

Pure Action (8/13), Robe Of Honour (3/1), Share The Honour (9/2), Estrenar (14/1), Nulife (14/1), Baby Bellini (25/1), Bondi Bull (50/1), Rebel Power (50/1), Patricks Boy (50/1), Coral Pearl (66/1), Amazing Mary (66/1)

Verdict

Pure Action boasts the best form in the book and should improve for this step up in trip. Those that have run already will not strike fear into him but a couple of the newcomers might do just that. Share The Honour cost a lot of money as a yearling and jockey bookings suggest he'll have his chance on debut but another Shamardal gelding in ROBE OF HONOUR might be the one to grab this prize. He's got some smart form in his pedigree and can make a winning start in the Godolphin silks. 1. Robe Of Honour 2. Pure Action 3. Share The Honour
