10/1

Gelded brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Mahlah and half-brother to 6f winner Elliot The Dragon. Did not show much on his debut at Warwick earlier this month but can be expected to improve. Finished steadily that day and extra furlong here will help.

15,000 euros Anjaal colt who is a half-brother to six individual winners. Showed inexperience and hampered slightly on debut here over six furlongs earlier this month. Will improve for that and looks the best of those with racecourse form.

Forecasts

Positive (6/4), Wightman (10/3), Owney Madden (11/2), Hexagon (10/1), Today Power (10/1), Mon Choix (12/1), Celtic Art (14/1), Stoweman (16/1), Raadea (18/1), Vulcan (20/1), Dyami (50/1)

WIGHTMAN can put his racecourse experience to good use and land this contest for trainer Mick Channon and jockey Ryan Moore. he was not beaten too far on his debut and with better luck in running would have been closer. Today Power looks the best of the unraced colts on pedigree and comes from a respected stable. Vulcan may also go well. Although he finished last on his debut, he was not beaten too far and should improve.
