50/1
Maiden in 18 starts including 10 on the Flat. Beaten 31L off a mark of 47 over 7f at Chepstow (good) on his first run in over 12 months recently and likely to struggle in this.

16/1
Unraced gelded son of Dragon Pulse. Changed hands for 72,000 gns as a foal in October 2015 but purchased by current connections for just £9,000 in March. Half-brother to Listed-placed City Of Stars but probably best watched here.

3/1
Likely lost all chance when bolting to post ahead of his debut in May and performed much better when finishing third of eight over 6f on the AW at Chelmsford last time. Making his first appearance since being gelded on that occasion and one for the shortlist here.

Well beaten in two starts so far including on good-to-soft ground over 6f at Windsor on debut. Similar result on Lingfield's AW surface the following month and making her seasonal debut here.

Unraced gelded son of Approve. Bought for 10,500 gns as a yearling in 2015. Dam an unraced half-sister to useful stayer Linas Selection and probably best watched on debut.

Finished 4L third of 13 over 7f at Kempton on debut in April. Gelded since and likely to run well again here for a stable with a 22% strike-rate (8/37) in recent weeks.

11/10
Narrowly beaten when runner-up over 7f on good-to-firm ground here when making her debut earlier this month. Shaped as if this drop in trip wouldn't inconvenience her on that occasion and an interesting runner here.

Unraced home-bred daughter of Excelebration. Half-sister to winner At A Clip amongst others and probably best watched on her racecourse debut.

Forecasts

Killay (11/10), Yabrave (5/2), Noble Masterpiece (3/1), Spitfire Limited (14/1), Majboor (16/1), Cherished (16/1), Silently (20/1), Suit Of Lights (33/1), Secret Striker (33/1), Blackadder (50/1)

Verdict

KILLAY was beaten a nose on debut over 7f here earlier this month and she can register her first victory dropping in trip here. The selection lost out in a head bob on that occasion and can take this contest at the chief expense of Noble Masterpiece who finished third at Chelmsford on the AW over this distance last time out having blown his chance bolting to post when debuting the previous month. Yabrave who showed promise on his debut at Kempton in April can finish third on his turf debut.
