Looked the part when winning over C&D on debut last year, but was too keen when only fourth in a 1m2f conditions race at Newbury on his return to action. Back down in trip and should be hard to beat.

Dark Angel gelding who fetched 68,000 gns as a yearling and is from the family of the top-class Flintshire. Took a keen hold when fourth of 13 over 1m on debut at Newbury and should improve considerably for the experience.

Trained by Joseph O'Brien when well held in two starts at Dundalk. First run for this stable and can compete in handicaps after this race.
Gelded son of Holy Roman Emperor who cost 30,000 gns as a yearling and whose dam won over 1m in Germany. Nice pedigree, but may need this debut run.

Solid runs in two maidens over C&D last season. Returns after a winter break and is one of the more appealing contenders.

Well held on both starts at Doncaster and over C&D. Looks the sort to do better when he competes in handicaps.

Daughter of Dubawi who is a sister to a couple of winners from 7f to 1m2f. Slowly away and keen early on when only eighth of 12 on debut at Wolverhampton in the autumn and can surely do much better for powerful stable.

Down the field, but not without promise, on starts at Windsor and Newbury. Qualifies for a handicap mark after this.

Iffraaj filly who is from the family of the top-class Soviet Song and Ribbons. May be one for further down the line, but is worth a check in the betting on debut.

Forecasts

Space Blues (1/3), Rhythmic Intent (7/2), Fifth Position (9/2), Queen Of Mayfair (7/1), Sincerity (16/1), My Style (50/1), Holy Hymn (66/1), Thomas Cubitt (100/1), Tulipe Angelique (100/1), Relative Ease (125/1)

Verdict

Fifth Position shaped nicely on debut and should be on the premises for his in-form stable, but SPACE BLUES sets a good standard and will be suited by the step back in trip after finding 1m2f too far at Newbury. Rhythmic Intent has shaped well in two runs at this venue and can go well, while the well-bred Sincerity is an interesting newcomer and Queen Of Mayfair can surely improve on her only run so far.
