Horse silk
7/4
Has run three good races so far in his career including when tackling this trip for the first time at Nottingham (good-to-firm) last time out. Wears blinkers for the first time here and likely to run well once more.

Horse silk
12/1
Beaten 14L when making his debut at Lingfield (good-to-firm) over this distance earlier this month. Likely to have benefited from that experience but more needed here.

25/1
Unraced gelded son of Zebedee cost €8,000 as a yearling in September last year. Probably best watched on his debut.

Horse silk
20/1
Unraced son of Kodiac cost £31,000 as a two-year-old in April. Half-brother to useful sprinters Al Freej and Clear Impression amongst others and worth a check in the market on debut.

10/11
Making his debut when finishing runner-up in a 16 runner 6f contest at Leicester (good-to-soft) earlier this month. Yard have an 18% strike-rate of late (3/17) and likely to play a leading role here.

8/1
Clear best effort in four starts came when runner-up over 6f at Lingfield at the end of last month. Has disappointed in first time cheekpieces (retained) back on turf since and this return to the AW looks likely to suit.

Horse silk
50/1
Well held in two runs on turf so far. Beaten 24L at Lingfield (good-to-firm) over 6f on the most recent of those and others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Simpson (10/11), Central City (7/4), Amazing Alice (8/1), Goldenground (12/1), Mr Little (20/1), Vegas Boy (20/1), Korak Boy (25/1), Misty Breese (50/1)

Verdict

SIMPSON ran well to finish runner-up at Leicester earlier this month and he can get off the mark at the second attempt in this opening two-year-old contest. The selection is likely to be given most to do by the first time blinkered Central City who has had three runs so far while Amazing Alice, runner-up on her only previous start on the AW can claim third.
