16/1
Frankel colt who has his first run for this yard after two outings for Charlie Fellowes. Not shown a great deal so far, but suffered interference last time and is probably much better than he has revealed.
Gelded son of Baltic King whose dam is a half-sister to a 1m2f winner, Never threatened on debut at Chelmsford and almost certainly needs time to develop.

14/1
Son of So You Think whose dam was a 1m2f winner. Fetched 85,000 gns as a yearling and made a promising start to his racing career when fourth of 10 at Salisbury after starting slowly. Should be much wiser this time.

33/1
March foal by Poet's Voice out of a mare who won up to 1m2f. Closely-related to the 1m3f winner Finidaprest. Sent off at 66-1 when well behind on debut at Kempton and looks a long-term prospect.

12/1
Well held in novice events at Salisbury and Leicester. Qualifies for a handicap mark after this and nurseries look his next port of call.

4/6
Son of Derby winner Camelot who cost 200,000 gns as a yearling and is out of Elusive Girl, a half-sister to 1m Group 2 winner Aljamaaheer. Did not get a clear run on debut at Kempton, but almost won and should take plenty of beating this time.

Horse silk
9/1
Son of excellent sire Mastercraftsman out of a Dalakhani mare who cost 65,000 gns as a yearling. Staying pedigree, so may not be sharp enough on debut, but trainer always to be respected in these types of races.

33/1
Not involved at the business end in runs at Salisbury and Newmarket. Can run in handicaps after this and that appears the way to go for this nicely-bred colt.

Horse silk
6/1
Son of Foostepsinthesand who fetched €200,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to St Leger runner-up Ventura Storm. Clearly has something about him given his purchase price, but pedigree suggests he may need time to mature.

Horse silk
25/1
Campanologist colt who fetched 48,000 gns as a yearling and whose dam won over 1m in Germany. Nicely bred, but may be one for next season.

Forecasts

Msayyan (4/6), Strongarm Chaser (6/1), My Lord And Master (9/1), Ghazan (12/1), Corgi (14/1), Baghdad (16/1), Victory Chime (25/1), Pippin (33/1), Feragust (33/1), College King (100/1)

Verdict

Unless one of the newcomers is something out of the ordinary - and a few of them are nicely bred - this looks at the mercy of MSAYYAN, who would probably have won on debut at Kempton granted a clearer passage and looks a nice prospect for leading connections. Corgi looks the best of his two stable runners, while there may be more to come from the Frankel colt, Baghdad.
