Exceed And Excel colt that's already had six starts, and isn't really progressing. Drop back to 6f last time produced another reasonable effort, and step back up to a mile should suit, but clearly susceptible to anything with improvement now.
Excelebration gelding, half brother to middle-distance winner Daydreamer, so likely to still find this too sharp a trip on debut, and yard not known for first time up winners.
Good first effort at Newcastle in late June, defying his 66/1 price tag with a steadily staying-on third (7f) and this step up in trip likely to suit. Every chance of success in a modest event if building on that.
Hasn't pulled up any trees on either start so far and although in good hands, looks limited on the evidence shown so far. May do better when going into nurseries after this.
Relatively cheap buy as a yearling, and no great stars in the family. Trip should be fine for debut, yard 11-80 with 3-y-o's here last five seasons and are always worth a glance in the market but on balance, others preferred.
Well beaten on both starts and although ground conditions may suit better here than on her two starts so far (both on soft), still needs plenty of improvement.

Kynren (4/5), Arnarson (7/4), Sacred Way (4/1), True Colors (10/1), Excellent Story (14/1), Pipers Way (66/1), Shine Baby Shine (100/1)
If KYNREN comes on a bit for his Newcastle debut and finds this eighth furlong a help (which it looked like it would) then he's likely to improve past Arnarson, who just about sets the standard but doesn't appear to be progressing for his racing. Sacred Way looks the best of the newcomers.
