Sir Hamilton²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: D P Quinn| D

6/4

Built on his debut run to scope impressively at Chelmsford last month - creating the impression that he's got a fair bit more to come. Has to give weight away to all but has to be respected and could easily be involved in the thick of the action.

Form: 71-

Aquarium

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston

4/1

Yard always respected with its debutantes but there has to be a suspicion this half-brother to 1m4f winner Cubanita will need a good bit further than this mile to be seen at his best. Looks a long term prospect.

Argent Bleu²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: R Ingram

80/1

Modest effort on debut at Lingfield and readily left when the tempo increased. hard to fancy here.

Form: 8-

Breakfast

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne

25/1

Cost 30,000 gns as a two-year-old and is another than is bred to get a bit further than he's tasked with here. Yard has maintained a steady tick over, so support in the betting could prove interesting to follow.

Elapidae¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: D R Lanigan

66/1

Nothing to glean from his two previous runs and he needs to put in a transformed effort to trouble the judges this time around.

Form: 69-

Kevlar²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: J G Portman

66/1

Beat just one horse home on debut and it's very difficult to suggest that he can do much better judging by that performance. Not hard to leave out of betting plans this time.

Petruchio

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Liam Keniry| T: E Walker

10/1

Cost 48,000 gns and hold a very likable pedigree. Yard not firing just now though and it's highly likely this fellow will be a lot wiser for this experience.

Possibly So

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: D R C Elsworth

16/1

Interesting enough pedigree and from a highly respected yard that has a great current strike-rate. One to seriously consider if the market vibes are positive.

Suprematism³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M M Monaghan⁽³⁾| T: M Botti

12/1

Cost €50,000 as a two-year-old and is bred to appreciate the surface. Needs to step things up a good bit from his debut run, however. Feasible the extra distance will help but a lot more is required.

Form: 6-

Briscola^p1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

9/2

Signs of ability but has been well held in each of her four starts so far (despite finishing as runner up twice). Already 1lb lower for when she goes handicapping but likely she'll have to start upping her game if she is stay at her current yard.

Precious Silk¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J Santos

33/1

A cheap purchase, the filly made a pleasing start at Chelmsford last month but posted a lacklustre effort at Lingfield shortly after. Today's extra furlong may help bring about a bit of improvement but she still comes here with plenty to prove.

Form: 35-

(5)

Roser Moter

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

20/1

Motivator filly that represents a yard in good form. Well related and looks the part on paper. Worth a check in the betting.

Sir Hamilton (6/4), Aquarium (4/1), Briscola (9/2), Petruchio (10/1), Suprematism (12/1), Possibly So (16/1), Roser Moter (20/1), Breakfast (25/1), Precious Silk (33/1), Elapidae (66/1), Kevlar (66/1), Argent Bleu (80/1)

Much the weaker of the two divisions and it's hard to escape the claims of SIR HAMILTON, who used his Newmarket debut as a perfect platform when getting off the mark at Chelmsford last month. The Canford Cliffs colt bolted up on that occasion and created a very favorable impression and looks the one to beat here despite conceding weight all round. Roser Moter is an interesting debutante who wouldn't need to be anything special to make an immediate impact, while Possibly So also represents a highly respected yard that is very capable of having one ready first time out.
