28/1
Newcomer by Big Bad Bob out of an Alhaarth mare. Half-brother to a 1m½f AW winner. Trainer has a few two-year old winners but this one may need further.

By half-brother to Frankel, Westlake out of a moderate sprinter who won four times. Others have more appealing pedigrees.

25/1
Sixth of eight on debut over 7f at Redcar two weeks ago. Weakened there hence drop back in trip although bred for 1m plus. Huge step forward required.

66/1
Beaten 14L on debut and 17½L last time out, those efforts both coming on turf. Transfers to AW now with lots to prove.

10/1
Showed promise on debut over 7f here last month when comfortably outrunning 100/1 odds. Weakened late on there so 6f may suit better and each way shout today.

15/8
Second on debut at Brighton before third over 7f here last time behind a potentially smart Gosden newcomer. Looked like 6f would suit better there and has comfortably the best form on offer.

Naval Officer16
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Gray| T: N Tinkler
100/1
Beat just one home on debut at Redcar on debut and was beaten 17L. Massive improvement needed to play a significant role here.

Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: D M Simcock
13/8
€160,000 son of Kodiac related to a winning sprinter and with bags of speed in the pedigree so surprising he has had just one run so far. Eighth of 12 there at Kempton leaves him bit to find but expecting better today.

Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: D H Brown
22/1
Beaten 25L on first AW start here latest although 1m trip more than surface the likely reason. Some fair turf form before that over 7f so should see a better effort today.

9/2
5L fourth of nine on debut at Leicester last month. Ran a little green there so ought to benefit for the experience and could run into a place here.

Symphonic24
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-11| J: G Lee| T: Mrs A Duffield
100/1
Huge prices and well beaten in two turf starts on soft ground. Being by Mayson such conditions should have suited so suspicion is that she has very limited ability.

Forecasts

Nice Shot (13/8), Illusional (15/8), Takeonefortheteam (9/2), Gowanbuster (10/1), Sunstorm (22/1), Camden Town (25/1), Alabanza (28/1), Cocktail (66/1), Naval Officer (100/1), Symphonic (100/1), Aonedamproofing (100/1)

Verdict

This looks an excellent opportunity for ILLUSIONAL to get off the mark and he is strongly fancied in a race which is lacking in quality on all known form. Best of the rest may be Gowanbuster and Takeonefortheteam who each showed some ability on their respective debuts.
