9/4
Plenty to admire about the way in which he got the job done over C&D ten days ago, that was just his second racecourse appearance and seems set for bigger things. Big chance in this field.

Excelebration colt is closely related to 1m winner International Law and half-brother and represents an in-form yard (22% strike rate from previous 95 runners). One to note in the betting.

2/1
Not beaten far last month at Haydock over this trip (good to firm) when employing front running tactics, that was just a third outing and from a good draw has every chance of getting out in front and going well again.

7/2
Has been supported in the market for runs at Hamilton and Carlisle (both 6f, good to firm) though hasn't really looked like repaying the faith. Up in trip and could improve, needs to find extra.

Data Link filly who cost 23,000 gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to St Leger winner Arctic Cosmos. Needs to improve plenty on last month's Ffos Las debut over this trip.

Hasn't cut much ice in two starts at Thirsk and Carlisle so far, up in trip this time but yard's 2yos aren't firing this season and must improve plenty to have a say.

22/1
Lilbourne Lad filly is a half-sister to several winners, including smart 5f-6f winner Out Do. Has plenty speed in her pedigree and should be worth a check in the market for this debut run in what isn't the strongest contest.

Forecasts

Collateral (2/1), Myboyhenry (9/4), Phoenix Lightning (7/2), Baileys Excelerate (5/1), Three Saints Bay (12/1), Gorse (20/1), Out Last (22/1), American Ruby (28/1), Bibbidibobbidiboo (33/1)

Verdict

Collateral delivered an improved showing at Haydock when stepped up to 7f last time and is respected now, with a good chance of employing front running tactics again if desired from a low draw. It was hard to be impressed with MYBOYHENRY and the manner in which he scored over the C&D on his second start ten days ago. He looks a scopey sort destined for better things and is capable of another step in the right direction in landing this prize. Phoenix Lightning has been supported in previous runs without threatening to deliver but may have more to give in time while the newcomer Baileys Excelerate represents a stable in form and is well worth a check in the betting for confidence.
