Iffraaj filly won on the AW at Lingfield in July on second outing and made pleasing start on turf a month later when second in five-runner Newmarket contest over 6f on soft ground. Sets standard for others now.
Raven's Pass colt cost €60,000 as a foal and is related to several winners, this trip should hold no fears on debut and is one to take note of in the betting.
Relatively inexpensive Zebedee gelding, trainer modest 3-60 with juveniles in the previous year and best watched on debut unless market vibes suggest otherwise.
Firebreak gelding with plenty speed in his pedigree, owner/trainer can produce a juvenile winner but hasn't saddled any two-year-olds this year until today (Dicktation, previous race).
90,000 gns foal, price rose to 100,000 gns as a yearling, showed mixed messages in two runs so far, failing to justify favouritism over this trip at Chester last month on good to soft ground. Too soon to write off, from respected yard.
Dream Ahead colt is a half-brother to 7f winner Funny How, yard can produce two-year-old winners and worth checking in market, entered in Listed Redcar contest next month.
Sent off big prices in two starts over this trip at Chester and Redcar earlier this summer, unable to land any telling blows and best watched on return from 48-day break.
Frozen Power gelding is a half-brother to 6f winner Goadby and useful 5f winner Major Jumbo, should have plenty speed on that basis and worth noting, second runner for the yard in this field.
Beaten favourite both starts to date, narrowly on heavy ground at Nottingham in early august but rather more tentatively since at Windsor (good to soft), goes up in trip now. Yard having lean spell (3-40).
Heavy defeat on debut at Redcar in June (6f, good to firm) and only nominal improvement last month on AW at Newcastle over same trip. Up in distance, plenty to prove.
Never a factor when trailing home last of eight over this trip at Catterick last month on debut (soft) and much easier to look elsewhere for this prize.
Iffraaj filly cost 40,000 gns as a foal, is a sister to 7f winner Able Jack and is worth noting for yard with 15% strike rate at this track in 2017.

Already an AW winner, TRAVELCARD made a satisfactory turf bow at Newmarket when second behind a potentially useful prospect. The Mark Johnston filly should handle this extra furlong and looks to be holding the soundest claims of those that have run. Qianlong has twice been a beaten favourite already and while there was little fault in his Nottingham debut, he was rather easily swatted aside in third at Windsor next time and may be vulnerable again. Delph Crescent has been a bit frustrating so far but cannot be written off with any conviction while newcomers Air Raid, Power Sail and Gullane One each could have their merits.
