2/1
Improved effort to make al over 1m at Lingfield and entirely possible and there is plenty more to come. Pedigree suggests this step up in distance won't be too much of an issue. Leading contender.

8/1
Sixth of eight on debut at Lingfield (1m2f) but was slowly away on that occasion before making good strides in the closing stages. Ought to improve and has no issues regarding stamina.

25/1
Last on debut earlier in the month and has a big amount of improvement to find judging on that effort. Others readily preferred.

13/8
Made good progress in each of his three starts so far and has a good bit more to offer. Not beaten far latest and has to be a considered as a big player in this company.

Well adrift of Aquarium on debut and has improvement to find in his bid to reverse the form. Respected but looks a risky option.

Loyal Promise17
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Meade
5/1
Well held on debut (Derby entry looks optimistic on that evidence) but open to improvement and entitled to respect. Step up in trip should suit but needs to up his game a touch.

Forecasts

Legal History (13/8), Aquarium (2/1), Loyal Promise (5/1), Cross Swords (8/1), Looking For Carl (10/1), Karakoram (25/1)

Verdict

AQUARIUM looks a useful contender at this level and will be hard to master if building on the dominant display posted last time at Lingfield. Mark Johnston's Legal History is on the upgrade and is rated as a big player in this company. Cross Swords is likely to be better than he showed on debut and, along with Looking For Carl is worth a check in the betting.
