Friendless in the market for a maiden auction over C&D (good to firm) on his debut and was always toiling after an untidy exit, finishing stone last. Can only improve but best watched in the short-term at least.
A notable market drifter on his debut in an Ayr novice event (5f, good to firm), finishing fourth of seven. Cost £55,000 and a half-brother to a 6f juvenile winner, so likely there is a fair bit more to come.
Yard's juveniles yet to fire this season and doesn't really catch the eye on paper, having already been gelded. Possibly best watched unless market suggests otherwise.
Changed hands for £60,000 as a two-year-old, having cost significantly less as a yearling. Pedigree makes some appeal and positive market vibes would make him interesting.
Half-brother to several sprint winners and kept on well to finish second of 10 behind Gisele's Angel first time out over 5f at Pontefract (good to firm). Almost sets the standard on that form, so obvious claims despite a less than ideal draw.
More of a middle-distance pedigree and looked a little short of speed on his debut over C&D (good to firm), eventually staying on to finish seventh behind Almane. Should be sharper here but minimum trip remains a concern.
Has changed hands three times already, most recently for 18,000gns as a yearling. Easy to back on debut when noted putting in his best work at the finish over C&D (good to firm) and sure to improve. Respected.
Yard's juveniles invariably merit respect, though his pedigree suggests he'll need further in time. Done no favours by the draw either but still folly to discount.
Dam was a juvenile 5f winner and hails from a yard which won this event last year. Has to be respected on that basis alone.
Cost €50,000 as a yearling and shaped encouragingly on his debut over 5f at Newbury before running to a similar level when chasing home Declarationoflove at Windsor. Sure to find a race soon and - with an ideal draw and first time hood - this could well be it.
Cost less as a yearling than he did as a foal, but a half-brother to three winners, including two 6f scorers. Yard's juveniles going well so merits a place on the short-list from a decent draw.

Spoof (2/1), Porchy Party (9/2), The Right Choice (9/2), Go Now Go Now (7/1), Lord Riddiford (8/1), Magic Jazz (12/1), Laith Alareen (14/1), Reinbeau Prince (25/1), Skyva (33/1), Haafdasee (50/1), Archie Perkins (100/1), Dark Hedges (100/1)
Some interesting newcomers to consider here in the shape of Laith Alareen, Skyva and The Right Choice. However, both Lord Riddiford and SPOOF bring some promising early form to the table, particularly the latter who is ideally drawn to boot.
