Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S W Kelly| T: Tim Pinfield

Already gelded son of Kheleyf out of a mare that won over 2m on the flat and upto 2m4f over hurdles. Taken a while to get to the track and races in an eye-shield and tongue-tie on debut. Best watched.

8/1

Three starts and showed some promise back in 2016. Returned from long absence to be well held at Windsor three weeks ago. Remains to be seen if that initial ability is still there.

Form: 043/6

Stand N Deliver

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox

3/1

Gelded son of Dick Turpin that is the first foal out of a gutsy 5f winner. Clearly had some issues and taken a while to get to the track and market best guide.

10/3

Gelded son of Society Rock that cost 10,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to several winners the best of which was Malilla. Market a good guide on debut.

Out of a maiden half-sister to two winners. Stable has not had a three-year-old winner since 2013. Well held on debut and much more needed.

Simply Sin⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Sean Palmer⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland

50/1

Gelded son of Footstepsinthesand who was outpaced on debut over C&D and likely to need much further than this in time.

Storm Boy

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: M J Attwater

50/1

Son of Paco Boy. Half-brother to 5f winner Pal Of The Cat. Dam was placed over sprint trips. This looks a good starting point but yard are having a quiet spell and market good guide.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R Winston| T: C Hills

12/1

Red Jazz filly, cost €23,000 as a foal and €58,000 as a yearling. Little positive to take out of debut and likely best watched again.

Crimson Princess⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: Mrs N S Evans

100/1

Daughter of Sayif whose dam won over 5f. Slowly away when sixth of 11 on recent debut at Wolverhampton and similar story at Salisbury last time. Handicaps will suit better after this.

Verve¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Fran Berry| T: H Candy| BF

6/4

Made favourite prior to going close on debut here over C&D last year, when with Hugo Palmer. Disappointed when sent off favourite again on first start for Henry Candy. Those two efforts set a clear standard and this looks a good opportunity.

Forecasts

Verve (6/4), Warrior Goddess (5/2), Stand N Deliver (3/1), Flux Capacitor (10/3), Poetic Principle (8/1), Always A Drama (12/1), Kavass (22/1), Show The Money (33/1), Poeta Brasileiro (50/1), Simply Sin (50/1), Storm Boy (50/1), Crimson Princess (100/1)

Some of these have taken a while to get to the track and have clearly had issues. VERVE sets a clear standard on what she has achieved so far and should take all the beating here. Warrior Goddess ran with plenty of promise on debut and will be a danger if able to build on that now.
