11/4
Champs Elysees colt who put debut experience to good use when staying on strongly to readily land a novice auction over C&D last month. More to do under a penalty now but likely there is more to come.

Much-improved in first-time blinkers to open his account at the third attempt over 7f here last month. Had previously flopped over this C&D but shapes as though worth another try now, albeit a penalty doesn't help.
A £13,000 purchase in August but has shown very little to enthuse about in a couple of novice events over 7f and 6f (on this course) so far. Will be a better proposition when sent handicapping.

Cheap yearling purchase who hasn't been disgraced in three novice events up to 1m so far without really looking like winning a race. Likely to again find at least a couple too good.
Frankel colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including the smart winner up to 1m Tamarkuz and minor US dirt winner. Looks the part on breeding and wouldn't need to be a stable star to kick off with a win.

40/1
Irish raider who won one of his five career starts for Kevin Predergast with that win coming over 7½f at Tipperary in August. No show on his debut for this yard and blinkers are now reached for.
Motivator filly who cost €16,000 as a yearling and is a half-sister to Group 3 winner Queen Blossom. Offered plenty to work on when third over 1m at Lingfield first time out, so worth a second look in receipt of a fillies allowance.

Forecasts

Without Parole (8/13), Trevithick (11/4), Winged Spur (9/1), Windsor Cross (10/1), Sunhill Lad (25/1), Blue Petal (40/1), Camden Town (100/1)

Verdict

Course winners Trevithick and Winsdor Cross set a decent standard but are penalised as a result which could clear the way for John Gosden's Frankel colt, WITHOUT PAROLE, to make a winning start providing the market vibes are positive. Winged Spur looks the most interesting of the remainder following an encouraging debut at Lingfield.
  1. Without Parole
  2. Trevithick
  3. Winged Spur
