Born To Sea colt ran greenly when sixth at Newbury over 7f on his debut earlier this month. Bred to appreciate further so step up will suit and every chance he will improve significantly on that run so expect a good run here.

£27,000 yearling by Slade Power is a half-brother to four winners from 7½f to 2m. Trainer in good form and does well with two-year-olds so market check advised with notable jockey booking.

Newcomer by Poets Voice cost €30,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to three winners including two at two. Trainer in fine form including with first-time out two-year-olds so should make presence felt on debut.

Made the frame five times in seven starts to date and again ran a sound enough race latest when third at Windsor (1m). Form as good as any but vulnerable to less exposed types. First-time visor fitted in attempt to eek out more.

Improved effort to finish third at Newbury last time out (Aspire Tower sixth) over 7f. Bred for trips in excess of this so further step up here should suit and expected to go well today.

Newcomer by Melbourne Cup winner Dunaden out of a French 1m5f winner. Bred to want considerably further than this and trainer not had a two-year-old winner yet this season.

Cost £15,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to five winners between 6f and 1m - all winners as juvenile. Failed to make an impression in debut and yard 3-110 with this age group since 2014.

Hurricane Cat colt who cost €11,000 as a yearling. Outran odds of 33/1 here over 7f on debut when looking likely to appreciate further which he's bred for. Not dismissed for a trainer capable of winning with two-year-olds.

Forecasts

Gold Bere (3/1), Two Blondes (10/3), Lariat (9/2), Debbonair (9/2), Al Wafi (6/1), Aspire Tower (9/1), Just Hubert (25/1), Barsa Kelmes (50/1), Ignatius (66/1)

Verdict

Richard Hannon's two-year-olds tend to be less precocious than in years past and AL WAFI looks an improving sort who can go on again now stepped up to 1m which he's bred to enjoy. Andrew Balding is in great form and is winning with plenty of first-time out two-year-olds so his Lariat has to be respected. Two Blondes will surely be involved again and his supporters will be hoping the first-time visor can make the difference.
