8/1
€25,000 juvenile; posted a modest debut in November (6f) but much better when finishing third over 7f at the same track. Open to more progress but drop in trip not necessarily a plus.

14/1
Son of Mazameer defied his lengthy odds when showing acceleration in finishing a neck second over this C&D on debut. Leading player if building on that promise.

4/1
Clodovil half-brother to several winners, including smart French/US 5½f-1m winner Shediak and useful 1m winner Shehira. Subject of a huge gamble on debut when just over 3L behind Empty Promises and looked in need of the run. Likely to improve.

10/1
Sir Prancealot colt is a half-brother to 5f-6f winner Jack The Truth . Little show in sole start last June and best watched following an absence.

4/7
By Dandy Man, fetched 16,000 gns as a yearling and bred to be a sprinter. Ran on strongly for a winning debut over this trip at Lingfield when overcoming greenness. Sets the standard and only likely to improve.

100/1
Poet's Voice filly has been hampered by slow starts in two runs so far. Represents an in-form trainer and jockey but big improvement required.

66/1
Half-sister to a couple of winners, including Captain Future (5f AW) but well-held at long odds in both starts over this C&D and hard to recommend.

Forecasts

With Caution (4/7), Rakastava (4/1), Divied (8/1), The Numismatist (10/1), Empty Promises (14/1), Greybychoice (14/1), Shesadabber (66/1), Purely Prosecco (100/1)

Verdict

WITH CAUTION started off a with a good win considering he displayed greenness and is bred to make a decent sprinter in time. Rakastava had clearly been showing plenty at home but needed the run on debut and he can get closer to Empty Promises who likewise rates a danger.
  1. With Caution
  2. Rakastava
  3. Empty Promises
