Well beaten in two starts so far including over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton a month ago. Best watched at present.
Dual bumper winner including on the AW at Lingfield in February. Pulled up in a Grade 2 in that sphere in April and likely to find this distance on the short side on Flat debut.
Improved markedly on debut when winning a similar race to this by 2L here earlier this month. Penalised for that success and interesting to see if she can repeat that effort in this contest.
Promising third of eight on debut in a 1m maiden event at Lingfield three weeks ago. Improvement likely and one for the shortlist.
Held in two starts so far and likely to be of more interest in handicaps. Wears a tongue tie for the first time.
Purchased for 110,000 gns as a yearling and ran well when finishing runner-up at Sandown last September. Absent for nearly a year but strong claims if repeating that effort.
Finished runner-up over an extended 7f at Beverley (good-to-firm) on debut 14 months ago. Disappointed here over 1m2f subsequently and drop in trip should suit on seasonal debut.
Unraced for two previous yards and well beaten in two outings since joining this stable. Others make more appeal in this contest.
Unraced son of Shamardal purchased for 72,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to dual winner Rocket Ship and worth a check in the market on racecourse bow.
Shaped as if improvement likely when finishing 7L sixth over C&D on debut two weeks ago. Likely to fare better in this contest.
Placed on both starts last year including over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton last September. Gelded since and interesting on seasonal debut.
Unraced Intello filly bought for 21,000 gns at the sales last month. Related to a couple of winners but probably best watched on debut.
Slowly away and held up prior to finishing 4L seventh of eight in a 1m novice contest at Windsor (good-to-firm) on debut last month. Improvement likely.
Unraced home-bred daughter of Harbour Watch and a half-sister to a dual middle-distance winner. Market support would be interesting on debut.
Forecasts
Enzemble (6/4), Staunch (7/2), Normal Norman (5/1), Kings Highway (12/1), Boffo (12/1), Progressive Dawn (14/1), Equidae (20/1), Until Again (20/1), Sploosh (33/1), Cottingham (33/1), Phobos (66/1), Willow Grace (66/1), Forgotten Promises (200/1), General Patton (200/1)
ENZEMBLE ran well on the second of two starts last year and he can make a winning return to action in this competitive novice stakes. The selection is taken to get the better of previous winner Progressive Dawn while third place can go the way of Boffo who filled the same position on debut three weeks ago.
