Made all and was a most decisive 5L winner on her second start at Haydock (6f good to firm); penalised accordingly but another bold bid anticipated.
Unraced Helmet colt who cost £35,000 as a yearling; half-brother to seven winners including the Group-placed juvenile Explosive Lady; represents a stable in flying form with their two-year-old's.
Unraced first foal by Excelebration out of a maiden dam who was a half-sister to a couple of Italian Group 3 winners (1m-1m4f); cost 35,000 gns as a yearling.
Paco Boy colt who has been too green to do himself justice so far; although was noted getting the message late on at Beverley latest (5f good to firm); extra yardage and more time both positives, but improvement needed.
Well named Zoffany colt (£30,000 yearling), but has started at big prices on both starts to date (5f) and hasn't achieved all that much.
Unraced Dark Angel colt who cost £50,000 as yearling. First foal of his dam, but she won over 5f as a juvenile, which is an encouraging sign.
Dream Ahead colt who cost 31,000 gns as a yearling; beaten 6L when finishing fourth of eight to Kuwait Station over C&D earlier this month (20/1); further improvement likely.
Fourth and beaten approximately 2½L on debut at Carlisle (5f good to firm) earlier this month, so should be able draw upon that experience now upped in trip; trainer also saddles Connaught Court.
Cost €30,000 as a juvenile, and is a half-brother to a couple of winners including Zebelini (5f); struggled in two starts so far and needs much more; likely type for nurseries.
Unraced Hellvelyn gelding out of a fairly moderate staying dam (1m4f-2m1f); unlikely to be competitive today.
US based pedigree, cost a whopping $400,000 as a yearling; placed on both starts so far (6f-6.5f) and holds obvious claims in this race; tongue tie now applied.
Unraced sixth foal by Morpheus out of a speedy 5f winning dam (Killer Class); half-brother to 5f winner Orient Class, so almost guaranteed to be winning races at some point but most likely further down the line.
Very green on debut at Newcastle earlier this month (5f), including when getting loose in the paddock; blinkers applied for his second appearance (upped in trip); stable also supplies Dreamseller.
Coach House colt (£18,000 yearling), but no obvious joy in two starts so far (both 5f) and needs to take a big step forward for the extra furlong if to prove competitive.
Forecasts
Cupboard Love (5/4), Semoum (3/1), Eljayeff (5/1), Devil's Angel (10/1), Dreamseller (14/1), Barasti Dancer (20/1), Barristan The Bold (25/1), Connaught Court (40/1), The Defiant (50/1), Mendeleev (80/1), The Grey Zebedee (100/1), Tobeeornottobee (100/1), Hurricane Speed (100/1), Deanozoff (100/1)
A race which should throw up plenty of future winners with the newcomers Barasti Dancer, Devil's Angel and The Defiant all noteworthy horses, but those with experience set a fairly solid standard and look most likely to fill the places. The likes of Eljayeff and Dreamseller can draw upon their recent debut efforts and be competitive, whilst the tongue tied Semoum should appreciate a return to quicker ground. However, it was impossible not to be drawn towards the likeable, pacy filly CUPBOARD LOVE at Haydock and she should prove good enough to follow up despite having a penalty to shoulder.
