4/1
Bahamian Bounty colt who cost 32,000 gns as a yearling. Has speed in his pedigree but may want a little further than this, as debut run at Newmarket a fortnight ago suggested when weakening in closing stages.

Sepoy colt is half-brother to several winners, including useful 5f/6f winner Safari Mischief. Rates as one of the more likely newcomers.

130,000 gns yearling out of Kodiac, brother to useful 6f winner No Leaf Clover and represents top trainer with near 30% strike from 24 runners early in the season.

7/2
Kodiac filly is a half-sister to some useful winners, leading trainer is off to a good start with 22% strike recently and she's one to play close attention to in the betting.

Forecasts

Verdict

The three with experience do not set any lofty targets to aim at, though Choice Encounter should be capable of building on his Nottingham debut. It may pay to side with a newcomer in the opener and the market will be an essential tool when doing so. TO WAFIJ has the credentials for a race like this on paper and, with his trainer in good form already, he gets the nod ahead of the filly Validator. Indian Warrior is another worth noting in the betting.
