Penalised for a narrow victory at Beverley last time out but should improve for this step up in trip and is easily lightly raced enough to suggest that he has the requisite improvement in him to overcome this higher weight.
Beat more than one horse home for the first time at Newcastle latest; still yet to really get involved in a race, though, and much more needed now.
Ran a nice race to finish fourth on debut at Sandown last time over shorter for these top connections. Shaped as if further would suit and form of that race looks fairly solid.
Harbour Watch colt who cost 18,000gns as a foal. Pedigree inconclusive on his likely optimum trip but half-brother stays further than this and he is worth a check in the market.
Wasn't much better on his second start despite what the form figures seem to suggest; looks set for another minor role off the same weight as some much more promising types.
Finished last of nine and beaten 15L on debut at Windsor last time out. Steps up markedly in trip here but needs that to make all the difference on his second start.
Not particularly impressive on Sandown debut but didn't enjoy a trouble-free passage on that occasion and a better showing can't be ruled out over this longer trip.
Has run to a similar level on each of his starts so far (despite finishing sixth last time he wasn't beaten far), and should have more to offer here if proving he can stay this far.
Forecasts
Graffiti Master (2/7), Baileys Excelerate (3/1), Trogon (8/1), Harbour Nights (8/1), Spice War (20/1), Masters Apprentice (33/1), Duggary (33/1), See The Tar (66/1)
Graffiti Master holds obvious claims on the basis of a promising debut at Sandown last time but BAILEYS EXCELERATE should give him plenty to think about. Mark Johnston's colt seemed like he should have the stamina for this trip when getting up late at Beverley last time and if able to progress again here should be able to defy the 6lb penalty that he carries. Meanwhile, Harbour Nights looks an interesting newcomer.
