8/11
Far from disgraced when fourth at Salisbury on his debut last autumn and matched that form over C&D when a 4L third behind Across Dubai. Obvious contender on his reappearance in a first-time hood with improvement in the tank.

25/1
Half-brother to three moderate winners but unfancied and soundly beaten over C&D two weeks ago. Should be sharper for that experience but didn't shape as though this drop in trip would necessarily be beneficial.

66/1
Cost £22,000 as a yearling but unfancied for his debut over 7f at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and dropped away tamely, having pulled hard as a result. Probably best watched in the short-term.

9/2
A decent third behind Baby Gal over 6f at Leicester last May on his second start but no real improvement when stepped up to 7f afterwards. This sharper track may suit on his return, however, and he isn't one to dismiss lightly having been gelded since.

3/1
Slowly away and well beaten in a sole run for Jamie Osborne over 7f at Chelmsford as a juvenile. Enough in his pedigree to suggest he is capable of much better and a market move would be interesting on his reappearance for a new yard.

25/1
Half-sister to the 6f winner For Ayman but pedigree doesn't jump off the page and wears a tongue-strap for her debut. Best watched unless market suggests otherwise.

La Isla Bonita104

25/1
Awkward leaving the stalls and soundly beaten when unfancied for her only run to date in a 7f maiden auction at Chelmsford in December. Couldn't have a case made for her on that evidence.

Forecasts

Hajjam (8/11), Wonder Of Dubai (3/1), Spiritofedinburgh (9/2), Golden Guest (6/1), Happy Escape (25/1), La Isla Bonita (25/1), Lord E (25/1), Mahna Mahna (66/1)

Verdict

There was a lot to like about the way HAJJAM shaped in two maidens over this trip last season and this looks to represent a drop in grade. Providing a first-time hood has the desired effect, he should take some stopping with improvement in the tank. With this sharp like likely to suit Spiritofedinburgh, he looks the main danger on form, though there may be much more to come from Wonder of Dubai.
