7/2
Cost $50,000 earlier this year and is a half-brother to Hot Tempo, a winner over 1m on turf in the US. Pleasing debut when third of nine over C&D and should be all the better for that experience.

33/1
Well held in three starts in novice events. No obvious reason why he should make an impact in this company and may be better off in nurseries.

Horse silk
8/1
Exchange Rate colt who was a $95,000 purchase at Keeneland sales last year. Definite signs of ability on debut over 6f at Kempton and should be sharper this time.

20/1
Zebedee colt out of an Acclamation mare, he is from the family of Coronation Stakes winner Balisada and useful miler Boom Or Bust. Attractive pedigree, but Artieshow looks to be the stable's number one.

6/1
Improved for debut run at Windsor when a running-on fifth of nine, beaten only 3L, over C&D last time. Going the right way and has each-way claims.

Horse silk
33/1
Swiss Spirit colt who cost £6,000 as a yearling and is from a winning family over 1m-1m2f. Best watched on debut unless the market speaks in his favour.

Horse silk
50/1
Well held in novice events over C&D and at Southwell. Qualifies for a handicap mark after this and that looks the logical route for him.
Did not go unbacked when down the field on debut at Doncaster and stepped up on that display when third of nine, promoted to second, over 6f at Kempton. Step up in trip likely to suit and he is one of the more interesting contenders.

Horse silk
33/1
Poet's Voice filly from a successful middle-distance family in France. Too green to do herself justice on only start at Newmarket and looks a long-term project.

Ellen Gates22
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes
20/1
Mayson filly who cost 30,000 gns as a yearling and whose dam is a half-sister to Irish Derby winner Jack Hobbs. Slowly away when sixth of nine on debut at Kempton, but shaped well and this longer trip should suit.

(5)
Horse silk
7/2
Daughter of promising first-season sire Farhh who cost 70,000 gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to a winner around 1m in France. Represents a top stable and has to be of interest if she is prominent in the betting market.

Forecasts

The British Lion (9/4), Move Swiftly (7/2), Artieshow (7/2), Haverland (6/1), Dollar Value (8/1), Ellen Gates (20/1), Falling Wood (20/1), Demurrer (33/1), Carolyn's Voice (33/1), Irish Times (33/1), Shyjack (50/1)

Verdict

Of those to have run, Artieshow, Haverland and The British Lion look the best options. However, the filly MOVE SWIFTLY catches the eye on breeding and would not have to be anything special to make a winning debut. Ellen Gates and Dollar Value should step up on their debut runs.
  1. Move Swiftly
  2. Artieshow
  3. Haverland
