Stoney Lane⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Phil Dennis| T: R M Whitaker

16/1

Mayson gelding; dam won a mile seller. Showed pace throughout on belated debut over this C&D last month and was unlucky not to go even closer when third at 66/1. Has to concede weight to the three-year-olds again but sets the standard.

Form: 3

Alexandria¹⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes

100/1

Daughter of Oasis Dream out of an unraced Dalakhani mare. Unfancied and tailed off in both starts for Luca Cumani last year and huge improvement required on season, turf and stable debut.

Form: 90-

Duneflower¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| D

9/4

Dubawi filly closely related to the very smart Flaming Spear. Runner-up on HQ debut and just held on when making all next time over this distance at Newcastle. Likely to improve for leading connections and a main player on season reappearance.

Form: 21-

Assembled

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: H Palmer

11/1

Son of Iffraaj out of an Italian Listed winner and cost 75,000 gns as a juvenile; 3rd foal and a half-brother to Listed winner Khalidi and House Edge. Stable a bit quiet at present but one to note in the betting on debut.

Dabouk¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara

20/1

Nicely-bred half-brother to three winners including Listed scorer Salateen. Cost 55,000gns as a juvenile and showed some improvement from debut when fourth over a mile at Redcar. More needed and drop in trip a slight query.

Form: 44

Deebee⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: D Carroll

9/2

Son of Dawn Approach fetched 60,000gns as a yearling and has raced well when running to a similar standard in all three starts. Wouldn't need much more to get involved again although hasn't shaped as though this drop in distance is needed.

Form: 42-2

Dream House⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby

100/1

Gelded son of Coach Hourse cost £24,000 and a half-brother to sprinters Excessable and Computable. Trailed home last on debut at Redcar but stepped up with a better effort at Thirsk. Still much more needed to be competitive in this company.

Form: 07

Grazeon Roy⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

50/1

Archipenko gelding; fourth foal, dam was very moderate on the Flat though did win over hurdles. Struggled to get involved when beaten 24L on last month's debut and remains best watched.

Form: 5

Lucky Number

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas

10/1

Dark Angel gelding cost 11,000 gns as a juvenile. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1m Special Season and 1m winner Epic Challenge. Likely challenger on debut for a leading and in-form stable. Market check advisable.

Be More²²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

2/1

Daughter of Shamardal caught the eye making late progress on last year's debut after being outpaced on debut. Sure to have learnt plenty and physically looked a filly who would improve with another winter under her belt. Should be competitive.

Form: 4-

Forecasts

Be More (2/1), Duneflower (9/4), Deebee (9/2), Lucky Number (10/1), Sea Storm (10/1), Assembled (11/1), Stoney Lane (16/1), Dabouk (20/1), Grazeon Roy (50/1), Alexandria (100/1), Dream House (100/1)

STONEY LANE sprang a surprise when placed on debut over this C&D but it was a highly promising effort and he's worth sticking with. Duneflower is a clear danger if she can build on her win from last year. Be More is a a likely improver this season and Lucky Number an attractive looking newcomer.
