Swapped hands for 195,000 gns as a Breeze-Up purchase and has shaped with plenty of gusto in three starts so far. Won over C&D last month before finding the turns of Chester and longer trip beyond him last time. Has to be of interest back here.

3/1
Unraced son of Dandy Man out of a stoutly-bred mare; has winners in his pedigree and is a half-brother to a 1m2f winner among others. Yard doing well but possible he'll need a stronger test of stamina.

Cost €50,000 and is related to winners on the dirt in the USA. Two previous starts were nothing out of the ordinary and already has improvement to find. Others more appealing at this stage.

Cost 16,000 gns as a foal and is related to winners over much further than this. Debut run was less than inspiring and she is best watched until her stamina is put to a sterner test.

Cost 90,000 gns as a yearling, the Street Cry filly is a sister to 7f winner Strada Facendo and half-sister to other winners over this trip. Two starts at Kempton yielded little in return and hard to see her being a player on that evidence.

Interesting pedigree but failed to attract much interest at the sales. Much the same on racecourse debut over C&D earlier this month and is another who already has a good bit to find. Best watched.

Forecasts

Dragon Moon (11/8), Soumei (9/4), Secret Eye (5/2), Brexit Time (3/1), Dories Delight (7/1), United Kingdom (8/1), Penwood (14/1), Sweet Dreams (16/1), Eternal Destiny (20/1)

Verdict

There was a lot to like about the manner SOUMEI went about the task when winning at Brighton last month. That effort just about sets the standard here and the Ed Walker-trained gelding looks the safest option at this stage. Dragon Moon has shown a liking for this course and looks the best alternative, while Brexit Time won't need to be anything out of the ordinary to hold the rest at bay and go on to make the frame.
