Broke his maiden at the first attempt when successful over this trip at Ripon (good) earlier this month. Holds an entry in next years Derby and likely to run well again here.

Promising fourth on debut over 7f at Newmarket (soft) last time out. Had been a non-runner twice prior to that and interesting to see how he fares here.

5/2
Sent off favourite prior to finishing fifth over this trip at Newmarket (good-to-soft) when making his debut recently. Pedigree suggests this AW surface should suit and he is one to note in this contest.

5/2
Caught the eye when finishing well to claim second over 1m at Haydock (good-to-soft) on debut nearly three weeks ago. Should have benefited from that experience and one for the shortlist here.

7/1
Well beaten 12th on debut at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) over 7f recently but represents leading connections and not written off completely.

Forecasts

Kind Act (5/2), Rua Augusta (5/2), Chilean (11/4), To Arms (7/1), Austrian School (7/1), Ashington (33/1)

Verdict

RUA AUGUSTA caught the eye when finishing well on debut earlier this month and he can go one better in this opening novice contest. The selection holds entries in a couple of Group 2 contests next month and is clearly well regarded by connections. Previous winner Austrian School, bidding to follow up his debut success today is taken to claim second with the Godolphin representative Kind Act, who's pedigree suggests he'll appreciate this surface the selection to claim third.
