Slowly away and always in rear on both of his starts this year during the month of February. Returns from a short break, but again likely to find life tough if repeating those traits at the start.
Dwelt and always in rear when finishing last of ten on debut in a 1m maiden at Nottingham in October 2016. Upped in trip for his AW debut with the application of a hood potentially helpful, but much more is required.
Fetched €58,000 as a foal but just €12,000 as a yearling, and ran very green (slowly away) when eighth of ten to Alfarris on debut here over 1m last week. Up in trip, but with a quick turn-around time will need to have progressed sharply to figure.
Halling gelding, who was possibly a shade weak late in the race when finishing fifth to comfortable winner Tamleek in a Class 4 maiden (1m2f) at Newmarket last month. Suspicion being that he might well prove stronger dropped in trip to 1m, but a player here despite this trip in a much weaker race and with the benefit of experience.
Four attempts at breaking the maiden, but posted a sound seasonal reappearance despite meeting much trouble in running when caught close home by Regicide upped to this trip at Lingfield in April. Clear player on that form if getting a smoother passage tonight.
Cost 110,000gns as a yearling and is well-bred being a half-brother to Listed winner Sweet Cecily. Possibly raced over too far (1m4f) when only eighth of ten on debut at Wolverhampton late last month, and likely suited by dropping back 2F tonight.
58,000 gns yearling by Aussie Rules out of Caribana who herself was a 75 rated 1m1f AW winner. Unraced sixth foal, and a half-brother to winners Cubanita and Camagueyana, so clearly of significant interest, especially if the market speaks in his favour.
Raced green in rear and never a factor (far side) when ninth of 14 to Night Circus in a 1m Newmarket maiden last month. Worth a try over this longer trip on his AW debut, and likely suited by racing with a larger group in this race.

Grieg Hall (8/11), Kasperenko (2/1), Toronto Sound (8/1), Zack Mayo (20/1), Arcadian Sea (20/1), Red Master (20/1), Clearance (20/1), Borntosin (33/1), Incredible Dream (66/1)
Not a great deal of form to go on in this contest, with Grieg Hall perhaps having the strongest claims dropped in grade from his Newmarket debut. However, the worry with the John Gosden trained colt was his weak finishing effort, and he could possibly prove suited by an even shorter trip. Toronto Sound looks an interesting newcomer, especially if the market speaks in his favour, but one more chance is given to the four times raced KASPERENKO. He was a shade unlucky when stepped upto this trip at Lingfield last month, and relatively unexposed over this distance is merely a hopeful selection.
