Divine Messenger

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M Dwyer| T: Emma Owen

66/1

Firebreak colt out of a Danehill Dancer mare who was placed in Listed company up to 1m3f. Nice enough pedigree, but almost certain to need the experience on debut.

Gorham's Cave⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian

5/2

Gelded son of Rock Of Gibraltar who fetched 42,000 gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to a couple of useful sorts at around 7f. Not unbacked when a close-up fifth of eight on debut at Doncaster and normal improvement should see him figure.

Form: 5

Hi Ho Silver

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ted Durcan| T: C F Wall

33/1

Son of Camacho who is a half-brother to three winners from 7f to 1m2f. Stable in decent form, but not noted for the weight of its first-time-out winners so this one is best watched on debut.

Form:

Mohsen²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 73

13/8

Has been placed second in two of his five starts, including last time at Chepstow. Seem to handle cut in the ground and looks a leading contender.

Form: 44262

Ptarmigan Ridge³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 74

15/8

Placed in all four starts over 6f, three on turf and one on the AW. Has looked in need of further on more than one occasion, so this step up to 7f on ground which should not be a problem makes him a major player.

Form: 2323

Ritas Legacy

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T E Whelan| T: R Brotherton

100/1

Gelded son of Passing Glance whose dam was a regular winner over 5f. Will probably need the experience on debut, but is worth a market check.

Forecasts

Mohsen (13/8), Ptarmigan Ridge (15/8), Gorham's Cave (5/2), Spanish History (5/1), Hi Ho Silver (33/1), Divine Messenger (66/1), Ritas Legacy (100/1)

Mohsen is likely to be one of the market leaders, but he has had several chances and may be worth opposing along with Spanish History, who drops in trip after a fair run behind an odds-on favourite last time. Gorham's Cave shaped well on debut for his leading stable and is expected to come on for the run, but PTARMIGAN RIDGE has been running as though this step up in trip would suit and his ability to handle cut in the ground is a plus.
