Newcomer out of Canford Cliffs, trainer knows how to get one ready but doesn't quite appear to be firing on all cylinders just yet.

Plenty to be enthusiastic about in debut run over 7f on the AW at Kempton this month, one of the more likely sorts for a respected yard in this line-up.

Cockney Rebel gelding hung badly on his only start last year over 7f at Ffos Las. Doesn't appear an obvious choice in this line-up on return to action.

A daughter of Cape Cross, she hails from a small yard that hasn't enjoyed much turf success over the last 12 months. Likely to come on for this debut appearance and best watched for now.

10/3
A newcomer out of Exceed and Excel, she's one to note for her excellent trainer on debut, though that yard has not truly lit up in the early season exchanges as yet.

7/1
Has plenty experience and will likely be taking front rank in a bid to shed the maiden tag. Last seen over 5f at Lingfield in January, a trip that may have been too sharp. Has the form to get involved in the shake-up.

9/2
Well held over 7f here in September on debut, though stepped forward on that effort next time at Ascot when beaten just over 2L in decent maiden. Drops in trip for reappearance and makes appeal back at this venue.

Forecasts

Del Parco (10/11), Moonwise (10/3), Malcolm The Pug (4/1), Twenty Times (9/2), Snow Squaw (7/1), Mister Chow (20/1), Zulu (22/1), Canford Tor (25/1), Our Ruth (50/1), Babette (66/1)

Verdict

The newcomers Canford Tor and Moonwise are very much worth monitoring in the betting for top yards, while Del Parco made an encouraging start on the AW at Kempton and should step forward on that effort now. It wouldn't cause a major shock if he goes one better but he might prove vulnerable to the filly TWENTY TIMES, she ran well on her second 2yo start at Ascot in a 7f maiden in September and has the scope to grab this prize now dropping down in trip for her seasonal bow. Of the remainder Malcolm The Pug is one worthy of a second look having run with promise in both 2yo starts.
