Steps onto the Polytrack for the first time in public after proving himself a useful juvenile on turf. A debut winner in June, he was beaten a nose in a 1m Listed contest at Salisbury in August. Left Richard Hannon for 90,000 gns in November.

Cost €165,000 as a yearling, and is a half-brother to AW winner Cat Royale, but hasn't achieved all that much in a couple of recent spins at Wolverhampton, so more is required.

Cost 40,000 gns as a yearling, but this Casamento 'colt' has been gelded since his dismal debut at Newbury in late October (1m soft).

Unraced Lawman colt out of the 1m2f German Listed winner Nina Celebre. Fourth foal, who is a half-brother to German Listed placed juvenile Ninas Terz and 7f Hong Kong winner Pakistan Star. Worth a market check.

Exceed And Excel colt out of Picture Hat. Finished a staying on 6½L third to Moqarrab over 7f at Wolverhampton earlier this month. Should be suited by this step up in trip, but needs to find further improvement.

Unraced Blame colt out of a once raced mare Endless Journey. Fourth foal who cost $250,000 as a yearling, and is bred for this type of surface being a half-brother to US 6f dirt winner Dion amongst others.

3/1
Dansili colt who has looked a bit of a slow learner, but fared much better on Tapeta over 1m1f+ at Wolverhampton last month when just over 3L third to Corelli. Drops back slightly in trip here, but has obvious place claims.

Failed to beat a single rival on two starts on turf earlier in the year (6f at Leicester, May and 7f at Sandown, June). Returns from a break needing a total transformation on synthetics debut.

27,000 gns yearling who finished in the pack (eighth of 12) on debut over 7f here last month in a race won by Lush Life. Further progress entirely possible, but unlikely to be enough in this contest.

Cost €90,000 earlier this year, and this Kitten's Joy juvenile has all of the required attributes for racing on synthetics. Finished seventh of 11 to Mahaarat on debut over C&D in late August, but really needs to find some further improvement.

Unraced ninth foal by Speightstown out of the 1m-1m2f French/US winner Light Jig. A sister to 7f-1m2f winner Seek Again, and closely related to the 7f-1m4f winner Treble Jig. Of considerable interest on debut given connections.

Verdict

Albishr is the standout form horse in this contest based upon his 1m Salisbury Listed second to Mildenberger in August. The expectation is that his new trainer Simon Dow must have some kind of grand plan after picking him up at the sales recently for a fairly hefty 90,000 gns, but this race probably represents just the starting point of that journey. Therefore, there is potential value in seeking an alternative. Native Appeal didn't exactly set pulses racing when third at Wolverhampton on debut, so a chance is taken on the John Gosden trained newcomer SCOTTISH JIG. The yard have been seeking suitable races for their array of young horses, and saddled a highly promising first time out winner at Newcastle on Saturday (Without Parole), and whilst she wouldn't want to be missing the break from her inside berth, this filly looks tailor made for racing on synthetics.
