Made a pleasing debut to be second at this track, but did not back that up when last of 11 at Wolverhampton. The return to turf should be a positive and he is in the mix if able to reproduce that earlier form.
$25,000 yearling who is a half-brother to three winners over various trips. Extremely well backed on debut on the AW at Newcastle in the race won by subsequent Coventry Stakes hero Rajasinghe, but faded disappointingly after holding a good pitch. Should be sharper for that and the money for him last time speaks plenty for the talent he has been showing at home.
By Australian sire Sepoy, he is a 25,000gns foal whose dam was a 1m4f AW winner. Stable not noted for its volume of 2yo debut winners, so best watched.
Stepped up on an ordinary Redcar debut to finish a good second at Carlisle where he had every chance 1f out. Likely to improve again and is a leading contender
Despite being sent off at 66-1, he showed promise on debut to finish third of nine at Ripon. Failed to build on that at the same track next time, but that was on faster ground and this slightly easier surface may well suit better.
By Sleeping Indian, he was a cheap purchase at 1,000gns as a yearling. Dam was a 5f-1m2f winner and won as a 2yo. Stable among the winners recently and any money for this debutant would be worth noting.
Has shown signs of ability in maidens at Leicester and Carlisle, but no evidence to suggest she is up to winning this. Her future almost certainly lies in nurseries.
Kodiac £18,000 2yo who is closely related to 5f-6f winner Jaganory. Plenty of speed in her pedigree, but trainer not noted for saddling many juvenile winners.
By Showcasing, she cost £15,000 as a yearling and is out of a 1m2f-1m4f winner. Did not get the best of runs when well down the field on debut and can improve, but pedigree suggests she will need further in time.
Bated Breath filly who cost £7,000 as a yearling. Sent off at 66-1 for her debut at this track earlier this month and made no show. Needs to show more before being considered.
By Acclamation, she cost 26,000euros as a foal, but only 3,000gns as a 2yo. Dam won over 9.4f. Stable's record with juveniles suggest it is better to look elsewhere.
Champs Elysees filly who cost only 3,000gns as a yearling. Looked a good purchase when, despite being sent off at 66-1 on debut over C&D, she showed a fair level of ability to finish second of 11. Likely to need further in time, but has form in the book and can go well.

Fink Hill (6/4), Arcavallo (7/4), Trusting Friend (8/1), Elysee Star (8/1), Racing Radio (8/1), Blue Havana (22/1), Aristodemus (25/1), Viceroy Mac (33/1), Travel Lightly (50/1), Poppy Jag (50/1), Jaimie's Joy (66/1), Aliento (100/1), Angie B (100/1)
An open juvenile contest in which Elysee Star should go well after a promising debut over C&D. She is respected, along with Trusting Friend, who has also shaped well here, and Arcavallo, who took a big step forward at Carlisle last time. However, such was the market support for FINK HILL on debut that he is worth a second chance. In hindsight, he had no chance behind the winner that day and may be more effective on turf.
