Victorious in a six runner contest over 7f at Haydock (good-to-firm) when making his racecourse debut last month. Carries a penalty for that success here.

Finished last of nine over an extended 6f at Newbury (good) on debut last month. Needs to step up on that if he's to take this contest.

20/1
Unraced son of Fastnet Rock cost 95,000 gns at the sales last year. Half-sister to the useful Belle Royale and worth a check in the market for a yard who are doing well with their two-year-old's this year.

8/11
Doing his best work late on under hands and heels when finishing a neck second over 7f at Haydock (good) on his debut last month. Likely to prove hard to beat in this contest.

20/1
Unraced home-bred son of Delegator and a half-brother to the stables dual winner Imperial Aviator. Worth a check in the market on racecourse debut.

Forecasts

Stage Magic (8/11), Elsaakb (6/1), Albishr (8/1), Mosalim (8/1), Metatrons Cube (10/1), He's Amazing (20/1), Universal Command (20/1), Glacier (33/1), Nebuchadnezzar (50/1), Lucky's Dream (100/1)

Verdict

STAGE MAGIC caught the eye when staying on well under hands and heels riding at Haydock last month and he is taken to get off the mark at the second time of asking here. Of the selections rivals in this Elsaakb is related to a top class US dirt horse and can claim second place ahead of He's Amazing who represents a yard who are 10/40 with their youngsters this season.

  2. Elsaakb
