Well held in two outings so far including when beaten 24L over this trip at Goodwood (soft) on debut in September. Others make more appeal.

Slowly away and green when finishing 8L fifth over C&D on debut last month. Likely to have improved for the experience but more needed today.

Fair efforts in two defeats so far most recently when finishing fourth of five over C&D last time. Probably best watched at present however.

Slowly away prior to finishing seventh of eight on his debut over this C&D last month. Yard in good form (3/8) of late but more needed today.

Unraced gelded son of Famous Name out of an unraced half-sister to a couple of winning juvenile sprinters. Probably best watched on debut.

4/1
Unraced gelding by Rip Van Winkle purchased for 17,000 gns as a yearling in October 2016. Worth a check in the market on debut for a leading yard.

Signs of promise in finishing fifth of eight over 1m2f at Chelmsford on debut last month. Interesting to see how he performs in this contest.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: P Mathers| T: Sarah Hollinshead
50/1
Well beaten over an extended 1m when making her debut here last month. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop
14/1
Glimpses of ability in two starts last October but returning from a break and is probably best watched at present.

Forecasts

Bowditch (10/11), Lumen (4/1), Nordic Flight (12/1), Elysees (12/1), Cross Swords (14/1), Navajo Squaw (14/1), Citta D'Oro (16/1), Billy Ray (20/1), Fleeting Fame (20/1), Alliteration (25/1), Jenny Ren (50/1)

Verdict

BOWDITCH is the only previous winner in the field and he can follow up his victory at Lingfield last time out by defying a penalty in this novice contest. The unraced Lumen represents a leading stable toady and finish second on his racecourse debut while Nordic Flight showed ability on debut and can follow that up by finishing third on this occasion.
  1. Bowditch
  2. Lumen
  3. Nordic Flight
