10/1
Steps down markedly in trip having apparently failed to stay over further recently. Can capitalise on that to go closer, but seems an unlikely winer of this.

Raced keenly and may have needed the run when making his second start at Newmarket last time out (7f, good to soft). Drop back down in trip no bad thing and he should be capable of going close.

Fight Club colt, the first foals of a dam of little account on the racecourse. Easy enough to discount on debut for a trainer who wouldn't be known for first time out winners.

7/1
Has played only a minor role in two maidens so far and it seems unlikely that this step up in trip will bring about sufficient improvement for him to be a threat.

6/5
Shaped as if a step up to at least this trip would be required when running with promise on debut at Goodwood last June. Slightly puzzling as to why he haven't seen him for over a year since, but should beat tough to be if overcoming the lay-off.

Finished a well beaten last of eight on debut at Haydock last September, having shown her inexperience throughout. Can do better than that if getting straight on with the job but still unlikely to find enough improvement to land a blow here.

Has had plenty of opportunities so far but may be able to put that experience to good use here, having not been disgraced in maiden company of late. Cheek pieces applied for the first time.

Forecasts

Waqt (6/5), Paradwys (9/4), Mishari (11/2), The Night Before (7/1), Marettimo (10/1), Assertor (50/1), Nitro (100/1)

Verdict

WAQT ran on late on debut at Goodwood last time having looked outpaced in the early stages. A step up in trip, even if it is by just a furlong, seems ideal for him therefore. It is slightly concerning we haven't seen him for over a year but if able to over-come that absence and return in the same sort of promising form, he should prove the one to be on here. Mishari may have needed the run at Newmarket last time out having shaped with promise on both his career starts so far, while the relatively experienced Paradwys could put that practice to good use.
