10/3

Cost €44,000 and has hinted that he is capable of returning on the investment after a couple of near misses over 7f. Being a half-brother to the classy Wigmore Hall, he should have no issues with this step up in trip and is well worth noting in the betting.

7/1

Placed a couple of times over 7f but his debut in a nursery left a lot to be desired. Comes here with a bit to prove and may have to play a bit part once more.

Codicil¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 76

10/11

Unbeaten so far and has shown a ready and willing attitude in both her wins up to press. Stepping up in trip should suit and her presence will cast fear for a few of the rest. The betting will help in determining the expectations held of her if the ground happens to dry out.

Puchita¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 67

9/2

Debuts in a nursery in pretty stiff company judging by what she has shown so far. Highly respected yard but others make more appeal this time.

Forecasts

Codicil (10/11), Noble Manners (5/2), Ferik (10/3), Puchita (9/2), Barbarianatthegate (7/1)

The may come down to a head-to-head between CODICIL and Noble Manners, and the first-named just edges preference to emerge as as the most determined on this occasion. The filly has responded kindly to every question asked so far and will be very has to get past if she copes with the extra yardage here. Ferik also appeals on pedigree and is a worthy alternative.
