Showed promise despite showing his inexperience on debut but didn't really build on that in two subsequent starts. Likely to do better now and not ruled out in first-time hood.
Improved from debut when placed here over 7f last time. Form of that effort has been franked since and capable of more progress here upped in trip.
Showed plenty of promise on debut and produced a similar level of performance when runner-up over C&D last time. That looked like a nice race and may be capable of better here. Widest draw a negative though.
Lonhro gelding. Showed shades of ability on debut but yard's runners tend to do better with age and he's opposable in what would appear to be a stronger contest.
Only just touched off by a potentially smart four-year-old at Kempton last time. Plenty to like about that effort and can continue to progress here with an excellent 3lb claimer in the saddle.
Dandy Man colt, cost 160,000 gns as a two-year-old. Half-sister to Turf Laurel (placed in Group company). Lots to like about his debut when well backed at Windsor in July. Likely to be ready to go one return and should run well in first-time hood.
Champs Elysees filly, cost 27,000 gns as a yearling. Slight improvement from debut at Kempton when sixth of 12 back at that course last time. Starts out for a new yard and likely to do better in handicaps.
Dalakhanu filly, improved from debut here to finish fourth of 10 at Lingfield before Christmas for John Gosden. Form of that race boosted twice subsequently and market likely to be revealing on yard debut.
Forecasts
Communique (9/4), Warburton (5/2), Well Suited (3/1), Capital Flight (9/2), Capla Jaipur (16/1), Apache Blaze (33/1), Guardiola (50/1), Diablery (100/1)
There was a lot to like about Capla Jaipur's run last time and he can't be discounted but WARBURTON's effort last time out at Kempton is a smart piece of form and there's every chance he can go one better here. Early season Mark Johnston's three-year-olds are often more forward than their rivals and Communique can go well again.
