Kyllachy colt who cost 65,000gns as a yearling and is related to several winners over sprint trips. Worth a check in the market on debut.

11/4
Has a slightly mixed bag of form so far, and in all honesty should probably have gotten off the mark by this point but hasn't always had the best luck in-running. Cheek pieces applied today are unlikely to hurt his chances, but he is certainly exposed compared to most of his rivals.

Has beaten only one horse home out of 16 rivals in two starts so far, and looks to lack the pace for this drop in trip. Wears first time cheek pieces but they seems unlikely to make the difference here.

Has shown little in two racecourse appearances so far, beaten 10L and 11L respectively showing little or no progress between the two starts, and there's no reason why she should suddenly improve enough to get involved here.

Choisir filly who cost €120,000 as a yearling and is a half-sister to Group 3 winner Gossamer Seed. Trainer not necessarily associated with first time out winners but may well still hit the frame on debut.

Didn't see out the trip over 7f on debut and is now stepped down a furlong. That should be a positive move on the basis of that performance, but she is still liable to get outclassed here.

Ran a much better race, albeit in a weaker affair, on her second start at Thirsk last time, and is kept at 6f for this third outing. The third place finisher from that Thirsk has since boosted the form, and she is the horse with the best form on offer here.

Forecasts

Always Amazing (11/8), Arnarson (11/4), Important Mission (11/4), World Power (3/1), New Delhi (12/1), El Nefous (16/1), Clip Art (100/1), Tawfeer (250/1)

Verdict

This will probably come down to WORLD POWER and Important Mission with the former just shading preference due to the risks associated with backing a debutant. The twice-raced filly showed plenty of improvement last time out at Thirsk to finish second in a race where, though it initially looked weak, the third has won since. That is probably the best piece of form on offer, but on paper it is not at all impossible that William Haggas' newcomer by More Than Ready could deny her a win at the third attempt. Arnarson has had plenty of chances so far and may well finish third yet again.
