A €70,000 yearling, this half-brother to 7f-1m winner Danak has twice shown ability - notably when second in a novice auction at Ascot in July. Ran keenly in a maiden since but stayed on near the finish. Place claims with a repeat here.

10/11
A well-connected individual that has plenty of potential stacked in his pedigree. Caught the eye on debut at Kempton but not so impressive next time. However, it's still early days and the colt holds a big chance if that Salisbury run is forgiven.

50/1
Interesting if unspectacular pedigree but was well beaten on debut in a fillies only novice stakes at Wolverhampton last month and has a big amount of improvement to find.

Steps up in trip after two modest performances over sprint distances. Virtual transformation in form now required and not difficult to suggest leaving the filly out of the betting plans this time around.

16/1
Bought for 21,000 gns at the Newmarket sales a couple of months ago and ran with more credit than her starting price of 66/1 suggested on her debut at Kempton. Should have benefitted from that experience and possibly more to come. Place claims.

Cost just 6,000 gns and plenty to prove after showing greenness on debut and hanging to the left near the finish here last time. Did stay on close to home on that occasion, so possible there's ability locked in there. Improvement still required.

Forecasts

Wufud (10/11), Preacher Man (11/10), Star Of Athena (16/1), Phobos (16/1), Croeso Cymraeg (25/1), Lily Jean (50/1), Perambulation (100/1)

Verdict

Supporters of WUFUD need to forgive a seemingly modest effort at Salisbury last time but both the winner and runner-up have won since, so the form may be better than it looks on face value. This isn't the strongest race on the card and the selection doesn't have much to find to put the record straight. There is also a lack of obvious pace amongst the opposition but Preacher Man has shown ability and looks a more appealing alternative than Perambulation on this occasion.
  1. Wufud
  2. Preacher Man
  3. Perambulation
