Craster

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: H Morrison

Unraced son of Sea The Stars and a half-brother to winner Glencadam Master. Market support would be interesting on racecourse debut.

Havana Rocket³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding

9/2

Promising fourth over an extended 7f on good-to-soft going here a month ago. Step up in trip should suit and is of interest once more.

Ned Mackay

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton

Unraced son of Kodiac and a half-brother to the useful middle-distance performer Martlet. Worth a check in the market on debut.

Nivaldo

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett

Unraced son of Archipenko bought for €60,000 as a yearling 12 months ago. Dam won over 1m3f in Germany and he is an interesting contender on debut.

Shining Torch¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon

16/1

Fair form in two starts so far. Beaten 7L into fourth over 7f at Brighton (good-to-firm) last time out and interesting to see how he fares stepping up in distance.

Form: 74

Knightshayes⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul George| D

8/1

Impressive 3L winner of a novice contest over an extended 7f at Lingfield (good-to-firm) when debuting early last month. Repeat of that should see her play a leading role.

Form: 1

Lucky Circle¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans

100/1

Struggled in both starts to date including over an extended 7f here last time out. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.
