100/1
Full-brother to connections' 1m4f-1m6f winner Praeceps, and looks a long-term project if recent debut effort at Kempton is any guide.

16/1
Well beaten on Yarmouth debut, but improved and looked unlucky not to go close when fourth of 9 to Jersey Wonder in a 1m1½f novice at Wolverhampton last time. Should continue to progress, although drop in trip a slight negative.

40/1
Son of Data Link who offered hope for the future when 5¼L fifth of 11 to Surrey Thunder in a soft ground 1m novice at Windsor earlier in the month. More required here, however.

5/4
Confirmed debut promise shown at Salisbury (1m) when 1¼L second of 9 to Brian Epstein in a 1m novice at Kempton last time. Sets the standard, and every chance of making it third time lucky.

5/1
Shaped with plenty of promise in a 7f Yarmouth maiden which has thrown up several winners on racecourse bow, so a little disappointing he could show only similar form when second at Redcar last time. Worth another chance to progress.

12/1
Noble Mission half-brother to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Mokarris, out of a winning half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Talco, from family of Irish 2000 Guineas winner Bachelor Duke. Appeals on pedigree, and market will be informative.

8/1
Stayed on well when second at Lingfield (1m) on AW debut, and better than the result when poorly placed at Wolverhampton. No such excuses when below form last time, and bit to prove now.

Horse silk
11/4
Needed experience on debut at Goodwood, and improved when 3½L third of 12 to Kaloor in a 1m novice at Salisbury early this month. Entitled to come forward again, and respected.

Forecasts

Red October (5/4), Wise Ruler (11/4), Snow Storm (5/1), Wave Walker (8/1), Spanish Mission (12/1), Capla Crusader (16/1), Homesick Boy (40/1), Blame It On Sally (100/1)

Verdict

RED OCTOBER has shaped well on both starts to date, remains open to improvement, and can make it third time lucky. Snow Storm didn't progress last time, but is worth another chance, with Wise Ruler completing the shortlist.
  1. Red October
  2. Snow Storm
  3. Red October
