33/1
Unraced gelding by Cape Cross. Half-brother to the useful sprinter Sweet Cecily but probably best watched on his belated racecourse debut.

66/1
Slowly away when beaten 27L on debut over 1m at Windsor (good) a month ago. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Finished a well held ninth in a 1m4f maiden at Kempton when making his debut last month. More needed if he's to break his maiden today.

Bumper winner over 2m1f at Newton Abbot (good) in August. Well held under a penalty in that sphere since and a similar result when making her debut on the Flat at Kempton last month.

Good efforts in finishing fourth in a couple of maiden contests over this distance at Kempton last month. Purchased by current connections for 35,000 gns since and one for the shortlist on his debut for a new yard.

11/4
Improved markedly on a disappointing Leicester debut when finishing a close second over 1m4f at Kempton last month. Had Soghan back in fourth on that occasion and is likely to play a leading role today.

Held in two starts in bumpers most recently at Exeter (1m5f, good-to-soft) last month. Wears blinkers for the first time on her Flat debut.

Placed four times from eight starts including when a neck second over an extended 1m4f in a Newcastle maiden last month. Well held fourth in a handicap since but of interest back in maiden company.

Forecasts

Nurse Nightingale (5/2), Persistence (11/4), Warm Oasis (11/4), Soghan (7/2), Celsiana (25/1), Emerald Cross (33/1), Seirios (33/1), Mr Boycie Quest (50/1), Rosie Lea (66/1), Amajari (66/1), Delicate Kiss (100/1)

Verdict

SOGHAN has shaped well on each of his last two starts over this trip and the selection can break his maiden at the fourth time of asking following a good third at Kempton last time out. Richard Hughes is now in charge of the three-year-old's preparation and he can reverse form with Warm Oasis who finished just in front of the selection on that occasion. Nurse Nightingale disappointed in a handicap last time out and can claim third today.
  1. Soghan
  2. Warm Oasis
  3. Nurse Nightingale
