Stepped up in trip to 1m at Kempton last month, and raced prominently until weakening late in the race to finish about 7L fifth to King And Empire. Dropped back in trip tonight.
A seven race maiden who went closest at Yarmouth on his penultimate start (7f nursery), but looks vulnerable in this grade at the weights. Wears a first time tongue tie.
Aussie Rules gelding who finished last of 13 to Bow Street on debut over 1m at Kempton last week, and needs to find plenty of improvement for that banked experience given the very quick turnaround.
Unraced fifth foal by Excelebration out of the 7f winner Ms Sophie Eleanour. She was a half-sister to Racing Post Trophy/Dante winner Saratoga Springs.
Red Jazz gelding who cost £45,000 as a yearling. Bitterly disappointing (last) on debut at Newbury in late October, and switches to the AW now wearing a first time visor.
Unraced third foal by Style Vendrome out of the German mare Irisijana. Cost €400,000 earlier this year, and is a half-brother to German 1m3f winner Identity.
€70,000 yearling who finished 3¼L second to Demons Rock on debut at Chepstow in July (6f good), but has been absent from action since. Half-brother to four winners including Kool Kompany. AW debut.
No real obvious signs that he possesses masses of ability in three starts so far, and most likely held by Il Primo Sole on the evidence of their clash at Lingfield earlier in the month.
Unraced fourth foal by Archipenko out of Coconut Shy. A brother to AW winner Shypen and a half-brother to 6f-7f winner Shyron. Moderate draw.
Unraced first foal by Society Rock out of the Listed placed juvenile sprint winner Strange Music. Cost 210,000 gns as a yearling.
Shown very little in a couple of starts on turf last month (1m+), and whilst dropped in trip in the first time cheek-pieces for his AW debut, he looks set for minor honours at best behind stablemate Il Primo Sole.
Unraced third foal by Captain Gerrard out of Elfine. Half-sister to 5f-6f winner Defining Moment. Dam was a half-sister to Listed placed 1m2f to 1m4f winner Headline News.

Il Primo Sole (6/5), Strange Society (5/2), Jahaafel (5/2), Music Society (5/1), Blue Candy (5/1), Sheriff (8/1), Shyjack (18/1), Catapult (25/1), Wilfred Owen (25/1), Inch Pincher (33/1), Financial Crime (40/1), Father Ailbe (66/1), Essendon (66/1)
IL PRIMO SOLE has an official rating of 93, so sets the clear benchmark for the others to aim towards. He was an impressive winner on debut at Yarmouth in August (7f), and whilst things haven't quite dropped his way since, most notably at Lingfield latest, he looks more than capable of getting back to winning ways. Both Jahaafel (€400,000) and Strange Society (210,000 gns) are costly newcomers who represent high quality trainers, but experience is key in these type of events, and they'll do for other days.
