Ran as his odds suggested he would when beaten 11L on debut at Nottingham last time out. Looks set for another minor role on this second start.

11/4
Only narrowly denied on two of his four starts so far, slightly disappointing at Windsor latest but change of tactics probably didn't help there, and should put in a much better showing now in the hands of a top AW jockey.

20/1
Outran his huge odds on debut to finish a fair third despite showing signs of greenness throughout the race. The fact he was so unfancied is mildly concerning, but he could hit the frame once again here.

Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR:  71
4/1
Not the most consistent in his four starts so far but raced too keenly last time out and should be able to acquit himself better here if settling more efficiently.

9/4
Has run well enough on all three starts without yet managing to get off the mark. Doesn't seem to be progressing in particular but is a solid contender for a top trainer and should at least hit the frame once again.

Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: K Frost
33/1
Has shown little in two starts so far and now switching to the AW in first time blinkers needs to find plenty of improvement to trouble the leading contenders.
Probably would have finished closer on debut at Leicester last time if he hadn't been hampered in the closing stages, and the drop back down to 5f here is a positive. Improvement needed but has the right conditions to find it.

50/1
Has beaten only one horse home in two starts so far on soft ground on the turf, and needs to leave those performances a long way behind now switching to the AW.

Horse silk
25/1
Has finished down the field in two starts over this trip so far, failing to show much improvement in between those two starts. Needs to appreciate the short break she's been given to figure here.

Axe Cap15
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson
9/2
Improved from her debut effort to finish a good second at Windsor last time out. Should progress again and looks to be a big player in potentially a weaker races and with a notable jockey booking.

Horse silk
33/1
Red Jazz filly, a half-sister to a few winners but this yard has a poor record with newcomers and she is an unlikely sort on this racecourse debut.

Forecasts

Militia (9/4), Choice Encounter (11/4), Global Academy (4/1), Axe Cap (9/2), Towelrads Boy (14/1), Crikeyitswhykie (20/1), Alaskan Bay (25/1), Broughton Excels (25/1), Rockesbury (33/1), Born For Prosecco (33/1), Warrior's Valley (50/1)

Verdict

In finishing third at Windsor last time out AXE CAP showed plenty of improvement compared to her debut run, and if able to progress again should prove too much for these. With the booking of Oisin Murphy catching the eye, Archie Watson's representative shouldn't have an issue handling the AW surface and looks the one to be on. Choice Encounter is better than he showed last time and also needs considering, as well as the consistent Militia.
