5/2
Improved on his debut sixth when beaten 4½L into second over 6f at Ripon (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Strong chance on form but represents a yard who are 0/22 in recent weeks.

Beaten 6½L when finishing fourth on debut at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) over 7f earlier this month. Slowly away on that occasion but drop in trip should suit and interesting if getting away on terms.

9/1
Unraced home-bred son of Piccolo. Dam an unraced daughter of First Trump. Represents a leading stable and the market is likely to provide the best guide to his chances on debut.

1/1
Gelded following two runs in 2016 and put in a decent effort when 3L second over 1m at Chepstow (good-to-soft) two weeks ago. Seemingly failed to stay when attempting to make all on that occasion and likely to prove hard to beat today.

Horse silk
40/1
Failed to beat a rival home in two starts on the AW so far. Beaten 16L at Chelmsford over 1m last time and probably best watched dropping in trip today.

Horse silk
16/1
Unraced Foxwedge filly and a half-sister to useful sprinter March amongst others. Worth a check in the market ahead of her debut today.

Horse silk
18/1
Unraced daughter of Monsieur Bond out of a mare who won seven times at up to 7f. Probably best watched on debut today.
Well beaten in two maiden starts to date including when 10½L fifth of ten at Catterick (good-to-firm) over 7f last time out. Drops in trip on her third attempt at maidens.

Forecasts

Valley of Rocks (1/1), Black Salt (5/2), Don Valentino (8/1), Pipers Way (9/1), Foxtrix (16/1), Melrose Girl (18/1), Fille The Force (25/1), Silken Moonlight (25/1), Yorkshire Pudding (33/1), Arabela Dawn (40/1)

Verdict

VALLEY OF ROCKS attempted to make all when finishing runner-up over 1m at Chepstow last time and this drop in trip looks likely to suit Mark Johnston's charge. The selection has shown a decent level of ability so far and can see off Don Valentino who is another dropping in trip today having finished fourth on debut at the start of the month. Black Salt, runner-up over this trip at Ripon last time can take third on her third start in maiden company.
