Island Brave

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Keniry| T: J S Moore

14/1

Purchased for £32,000 at Goffs London Sale last year and a half-brother to useful sprinter Wildcat Wizard. Makes his debut here but yards youngsters often to improve for the experience.

Form: 3

Taurean Gold

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Bridger

100/1

Gelded son of Picollo out of a winner over 6 & 7f. Probably best watched on debut for a yard that's better known for its handicap winners.

Form: 6070

Traveller^t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: C Hills| OR: 74

1/3

Close third at Chelmsford earlier this month his best effort so far having finished fifth on two previous starts. Drop in trip looks likely to suit with a top jockey booked to ride.

Form: 5-531

Never Folding⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Winston| T: S Durack

11/4

Finished well when making her debut at Wolverhampton over this trip early last month with a subsequent winner directly behind her that day and interesting to see if she can build on that here.

Form: 4205

Rocksette²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: P Hide

66/1

Sent off at a big price and well beaten on her racecourse debut at Kempton earlier this month and likely to make more of an impact in handicap company.

Form: 855

100/1

Slowly away and tailed off on debut at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago. Likely a clean getaway is needed to be competitive here.

NEVER FOLDING was beaten less than 2L at Wolverhampton on debut and can build on that by getting off the mark at the second attempt here. The selection's trainer had a victory here last week and she can get the better of the more experienced pair of Traveller and the likely pace setter Widnes. 1. Never Folding 2. Traveller 3. Widnes
