6/1
Picked up‎ for £36,000 as a two-year-old. Half-brother to four winners who were effective from 5f-1m. Comes from the first crop of the top class Australian sprinter Foxwedge so too early to determine how his stock act on Fibresand. Trainer does well here and can get one ready first time.

5/4
Stepped up from his debut to be awarded second in the stewards room at Lingfield. Supported when dropped to 7f here last time but was soon off the bridle and looked one paced. Extra furlong will help but sire's progeny have a poor record here. Stable took this last year.

7/1
Bought for 30,000 guineas as a two-year-old. Only the third runner in this country for his sire who finished third in the Kentucky Derby. Half-brother to a dirt winner in the US which will raise hopes he will act on surface.

10/1
Half-brother to an Italian winner the first crop of Delegator. Sire has not had many AW winners but he has had a few shape well in defeat here. Yard in form and top rider getting plenty of rides for them at present.

25/1
Has given trouble at the start before showing little in all four starts. Has an official rating of just 60 which suggests he is susceptible to anything with more than a modest level of ability.

Last of 16 on her racecourse debut last summer and best watched with an absence to overcome and a 7lb claimer booked.

3/1
Third in a slowly run Wolverhampton maiden where the leaders finished in a heap. That casts doubts on the validity of the form. Yard have had a good year so far but are just 2-27 with three-year-olds at this track.

Forecasts

He's A Lad (5/4), Secret Salvage (3/1), Whosyourhousemate (7/2), Clock Chimes (6/1), Last Chance Paddy (7/1), Stragar (10/1), Sunovarebel (25/1), Melo Magic (66/1)

Verdict

WHOSYOURHOUSEMATE and Secret Salvage both belied long odds to shape well on their respective debuts. The former certainly achieved more in a better race and his sire has the more established record on this surface. Jamie Osborne's filly is the obvious danger whilst Clock Chimes makes most the most appeal of the newcomers based on pedigree.
