1/2
Slightly disappointing at Ascot last time out when failing to double up on a debut victory at Salisbury in June. Seems to prefer dig in the ground based on what he has shown so before so should enjoy the ground and is one to consider.

11/2
Heavy ground debut winner over a furlong shorter here so clearly handles soft ground, not so good at Windsor since but step up in trip should suit and has already shown that he likes the track.

Power Colt who cost €75,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to Listed winning Moe Green. Trainer not prolific with juvenile newcomers but he isn't out of it on paper.

4/1
Fair effort over C&D last time out when finishing a close third, this seems a similar sort of contest and another big run looks to be on the cards provided he handles properly soft ground (if required to).

Beaten 14L into third (at odds of 100/1) on debut at Windsor last time. Up in trip now and this seems to be a big enough ask based on what she showed there.

Verdict

Two of these won first time out and then subsequently disappointed in their attempts to double up, namely Christopher Wood and GREENEYEDAFGHAN. The latter shades preference given the fact she has course form already and won his debut on heavy ground - it's also possible he has more excuses for his tame second run. The first-named also has to have a chance, though, and shouldn't mind the ground either, while Epic Fantasy is just preferred of the two newcomers.
