4/7
Dansili colt, a 95,000 gns purchase as a two-year-old, has shaped with plenty of promise so far - won on debut at Salisbury and then held by a well-regarded type in a Novices stakes at Carlisle earlier this month. Step back to a mile should suit.

40/1
Well held in both starts so far and comes here with a good bit to prove. Drop back from 1m2f should suit on breeding but already has a good bit to prove. Others preferred.

10/3
A half-sister to a 7f winner out of a Shamardal dam, the filly showed promise before running out of steam over 1m2f on debut at Chelmsford earlier this month. Likely to be sharper for the run and suited by the drop in trip. Considered.

125/1
An unraced half-sister to a 6f winner on the AW, the filly is likely to need the experience and is probably best watched. Yard not enjoying the best of runs just a further negative.

Never Be Enough17
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: K Dalgleish
4/1
Cost £16,000 as a yearling and made a pleasing introduction when third of nine at Carlisle at the start of this month. Has a bit to find to reverse the placings with Jamil but a likely improver and worth noting with an eye on the future.

Not For Glory13
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: Ronan Whelan| T: R J Osborne
66/1
Dam won over 1m1f but that looked to be a long way down the line judging the filly's inauspicious start at Listowel 13 days ago. Allowed to start at odds of 50/1 that day and ran accordingly. Best watched.

Raggs And Riches15
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke
66/1
A Wooten Basset filly, she has been outpaced in both her previous starts and already has a lot of improvement to find. At least qualifies for a handicap mark after this and may be placed to good effect in that sphere when upped in trip.

Forecasts

Jamil (4/7), Cloudlam (10/3), Never Be Enough (4/1), Tommycole (33/1), Magic's Boy (40/1), Raggs And Riches (66/1), Not For Glory (66/1), Craigie Rose (125/1)

Verdict

This may boil down to a match between old rivals Never Be Enough and JAMIL, with the latter looking the more progressive at this stage and he gets the nod to uphold the form of their previous encounter at Carlisle. There may also be more come from Cloudlam, who should appreciate the drop in trip and is also worth noting in the betting.
