7/4

Dubawi colt; finished a neck second to Landa Beach on debut at Newbury (1m, good to soft) in October; played up pre-race on seasonal reappearance when flopping at odds of 4/7f at Haydock (1m4f); drops in trip on a faster racing surface.

Best Haaf²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby

100/1

Haafhd gelding; well beaten at big odds on both starts to date (7f-1m); today's longer trip is almost certainly in his favour, albeit comfortably out of his depth against these opponents.

Forecasts

Apparate (7/4), Youarestar (9/2), Albadr (5/1), Mr Carpenter (11/2), Dilmun Dynasty (7/1), Harrovian (10/1), Triple Genius (20/1), Crystal Tribe (25/1), Carleen (33/1), Noble Account (50/1), Best Haaf (100/1)

An intriguing maiden in which both John Gosden (Albadr and Harrovian) and William Haggas (Crystal Tribe and Youarestar) are both doubly represented. However, this race also features other horses of note, namely the Godolphin cast-off Noble Account and the 1m Guineas yearling DILMUN DYNASTY who makes his debut for Sir Michael Stoute. In truth the best place to turn for advice is to the market, with the form horse Apparate another worthy of a mention in the hope and expectation that he doesn't repeat his Haydock Park pre-race antics.
