9/2
Won two of his first three starts for this yard and not disgraced in a pair of Listed efforts since. Seemingly well suited to cut in the ground and looks capable of gaining Black Type; brings some of the best form to the table in this contest.

10/3
Made short work of a potentially smart rival at Newmarket last time but probably best not to take that form at face value. Still shown enough to suggest he can be in the shake up here and gives the impression he'll enjoy this step up in trip.

5/2
Beautifully bred colt who didn't look an easy ride when justifying at odds-on at Doncaster last time out and yard reported he wants faster ground to be seen at his best. Will have learnt plenty there but perhaps one to avoid if there's more rain.

9/4
Frankel colt who justified short-priced favouritism at Sandown last time out despite the fact he looked green throughout. Will come on plenty for that and trainer is in excellent form in recent weeks with five winners from his last 18 runners.

Not beaten all that far at Goodwood on debut and yard's juveniles have been going well this year. Needs a big step forward but that's not ruled out and trainer does well with his fillies.

Finished ahead of Ann Without An E at Goodwood on debut and only narrowly denied by the winner of that contest. Should go well again but will need improvement to figure.

Forecasts

Red Mist (9/4), Learn By Heart (5/2), Hey Gaman (10/3), Another Batt (9/2), Ventura Knight (14/1), Ripley (16/1), Ann Without An E (20/1), Master Of Wine (20/1)

Verdict

RED MIST did plenty wrong on debut but he still managed to get his head in front and he's expected to take a step forward from that effort here. Another Batt has been running well at this level and holds each-way claims but Hey Gaman may be the main danger stepping up in trip.
