Ran okay in a couple of turf maidens this autumn but disappointed on AW debut last time out. Needs the first-time hood to help him settle better if he's to have any chance here back up in trip.
Showed ability on debut and confirmed the promise of that run when only beaten a length back in to fourth on just his second start at Wolverhampton. Worth a try on this surface and one of the more likely types.
Big Bad Bob gelding, cost €25,000 as a yearling. Dam a 6f AW winner and half sister to a juvenile sprint winner. Sire has a good strike-rate on this surface and this gelding an interesting contender, particularly if any market support arrives.
Society Rock gelding, cost €36,000 as a foal and 220,000 gns as a yearling. Plenty of promise in his debut effort at Kempton when relatively unfancied in the market and every chance he will act on this surface given his pedigree.
Most Improved colt, cost £8,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to a host of winners at this trip including a 7f Group 3 winner. Dam well bred. Looked badly in need of the experience at Kempton and perhaps best watched this time. Tongue-tie added.
Still a maiden after five starts, well beaten last time out at Newcastle. Step back up in trip will suit and first-time cheekpieces could eke out some improvement but looks vulnerable to anything above average.
Still a maiden after six starts but went close on both of his two starts last month, most notably over C&D last time. Blew the start that day and it looks like some fair form so may be capable of better still.
Flatter filly, cost $200,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to a US Grade 3 winner and a Group 2 winner. Dam a half-sister to a US Grade 1 winner. Yard's debutantes often in need of the run but can't be ruled out given her pedigree if fit to go.
Shown nothing in three starts, failing to beat a rival home on each of her three starts at three different AW tracks. Hard to make a case for on all known evidence.
Speightstown filly, cost $215,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to a Grade 2 winner. Dam a well bred winner who won on both dirt and turf. Sire's progeny often act on this surface and trainer does well with his juveniles. Likely player.
Hinted at ability in her first couple of starts before a disappointing effort at Redcar last time. Yard do well around here and sire's progeny tend to act on this surface. Likely capable if able to bounce back.
Gregorian filly, half-sister to a juvenile winner. Dam a Polytrack winner over this trip. Performed with credit on debut but question marks over whether she will take to this surface; others preferred.

ZIP ran well enough here last time to suggest he may be at home on this surface and provided he break a little better today, he shouldn't be far away. Both Eve Harrington and Platinum Coast are debutantes worthy of respect.
