A half-brother to Kreb's Cycle (twice a winner at two), he made the perfect start over 6f at Carlisle last month and will be hard to topple if improving for that winning opening.
A brother to a 7f winner Aimez La Vie, he made a decent start last month at Beverley on good to firm ground over this sort of trip and should be competitive now.
Purchased for 35,000 gns as a two-year-old, this Elzaam colt has a nice mixture of speed and stamina in his pedigree and represents yard with solid two-year-old strike rate.
Zebedee colt cost £12,000 as a yearling, since changing hands for 100,000 gns as a two-year-old, is a half-sister to dam of 2000 Guineas winner Night of Thunder and merits plenty respect on debut.
Dick Turpin gelding, breeding suggests he'll want further than this in time as his optimum and looks one to watch on debut.
Lethal Force gelding should have some speed on pedigree, yard without a juvenile winner this year so far (0-17) and stiff task on debut seemingly.
A bit keen at Lingfield last month (7f, good to soft) on second outing, but stayed on nicely at the end, catching the eye in 7L defeat. Potentially going to have more to offer now.
Cost 60,000 gns as a foal and then sold for 185,000 gns as a yearling, hasn't looked like getting a telling blow in at York or Haydock (both over 6f) thus far, back now from 65-day break and not written off yet.
Farhh filly, trainer modest 3-60 with juveniles in the previous year, emphasis may prove to be on stamina in time.
Out of Australian sire Choisir, she stepped forward on second start at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) recently, going down 4L. Can have a say in this if coming on again. Second runner for the yard in this race, pick on jockey bookings.
Ran well for a long way on debut here over a mile last week, eventually beaten 6L, drops in trip this time and scope to do better.
Daughter of Intense Focus finished last of 11 on debut over 6f at Ripon early last month on debut. That was on good to soft, looks best left to it for now.
Delegator filly picked up for £800 as a yearling, stable can produce a juvenile winner and 17% at this venue (4-23) over last 12 months. Not an obvious winner, but commands some attention.
Forecasts
Conversant (2/1), A Bit of A Touch (7/2), Highest Rank (4/1), Poets Dream (7/1), Alkhawaneej Boy (10/1), Barefoot Baby (14/1), Bollin Joan (25/1), Taifbalady (33/1), She's Royal (40/1), Aphaea (50/1), Northern Force (50/1), Dicktation (66/1), Salire (150/1)
Of those that have run, HIGHEST RANK sets the bar following his Carlisle success over 6f just over a fortnight ago. He carries a penalty for this but his rider's claim all but offsets that and with the likelihood of improvement to come, he can maintain winning ways. The remainder with experience are not overly exciting, although the Fahey pair A Bit of A Touch and Barefoot Baby are the potential improvers. Newcomer Conversant may be the key danger for Hugo Palmer, he's got plenty going for him on breeding and is one to note with fellow debutant Alkhawaneej Boy.
