50/1
Best effort since switched to the Flat came when finishing a short-head second over this trip at Southwell in April last year. Unraced since and interesting to see how he fares on his return from a lengthy absence.

Made a winning debut when the 33/1 winner of a similar race to this over C&D last week. One for the shortlist under a penalty.

6/4
Off the mark at the first attempt when taking a 1m maiden at Leicester (good) early last month. Stable in good form (8/27) at present and a leading contender once more.

Placed five times in 17 starts but beaten 8L off a mark of 61 last time out. More needed if she's to take this contest.

33/1
Unraced gelded son of Raven's Pass sold for 42,000 gns as a yearling. Represents a decent yard and worth a check in the market on debut.

100/1
Unraced son of Sixties Icon out of a mare who ran once over 7f. Probably best watched on his first racecourse appearance.

Unraced gelded son of Exceed And Excel cost connections 75,000 gns at the sales as a yearling. Half-brother to a couple of winners and market support would be interesting on debut.

33/1
Unraced son of Kodiac cost 38,000 gns as a yearling. Full-brother to useful sprinter Snap Shots and market support would be notable on debut.

3/1
Finished mid-division when making his debut in a 1m maiden at Leicester (good) last month. Work to do if he's to reverse that form with Piece Of History.

50/1
Slowly away and shaped as if in need of the experience when well held in a similar race to this over C&D when debuting earlier this month. Others make more appeal.
Unraced daughter of Dutch Art and a half-sister to multiple winners Drochaid and King Of Naples. Interesting to see how she fares on debut.

14/1
Improved on debut effort when finishing third over 7f here earlier this month. Step up in trip looks likely to suit and she is an interesting runner on this occasion.

Horse silk
6/1
Unraced daughter of Dansili out of a Group 1 winning mare. Represents leading connections and looks likely to play a leading role on racecourse debut.

Well held in two starts so far. Drops back in trip having been beaten 18L over an extended 1m1f last time out.

Forecasts

Piece Of History (6/4), With A Start (3/1), Done Deal (4/1), Weekday (6/1), Exeat (14/1), Shaji (16/1), Stand Firm (33/1), Glorious Winger (33/1), Caledonia Duchess (50/1), Balaawy (50/1), Duchess Of Avon (50/1), Amitie Waltz (50/1), Yaa Mous (100/1), Marlor (100/1)

Verdict

A competitive looking novice contest that can go the way of winning debutant DONE DEAL who sprung a shock when victorious over C&D last week. Turned out quickly and carrying a penalty he should have improved for the experience and can take this at the chief expense of fellow debut winner Piece Of History who represents a yard in good form currently. The well bred Weekday is making her debut and she can finish third for top connections.
  1. Done Deal
  2. Piece Of History
  3. Weekday
