Lost In Time

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S bin Suroor

9/4

Only newcomer in the field. By Dubawi and is one of two representatives for Godolphin. Related to a few winners. Yard going well. No surprise if he possessed the necessary talent to have a say on debut.

Red Jasper²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G Mosse| T: M Appleby

25/1

Well-beaten on debut at Ripon (6f; good). Would need to improve a bundle from that to get involved in this deeper contest. One of a few in this race who are stepping up in trip/making AW debut.

Form: 6

Rochford¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: H Spiller

50/1

Steps up to 7f on AW debut after being comprehensively beaten on debut in a warm Newmarket (6f; good to soft) maiden. This isn't much easier than that contest and he subsequently has a lot to prove.

Form: 7

Subjectivist¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston| BF

4/11

Turned over at 4/11F last time at Haydock (7f; good to soft) but has finished runner-up behind a couple of potentially top-class sorts (Juan Elcano & Mystery Power) on both career starts. Surprise if he was unable to make it third time lucky.

Form: 22

Forecasts

Subjectivist (4/11), Mass Media (2/1), Lost In Time (9/4), Red Jasper (25/1), Rochford (50/1)

A small-field affair to kick off proceedings which can be fought out between the pair with the standout form on offer in the shape of SUBJECTIVIST and Mass Media. The former is given the nod, as he has been unlucky to bump into two potentially above-average colts at Haydock. He should prove a tough nut to crack from the front if handling the AW. If the selection doesn’t take to this surface, then the latter can pick up the pieces as he has shown he possesses more than enough ability to pick up a race of this nature. The newcomer Lost In Time is another name to note, given that he is quite well-bred and this isn’t the most competitive race in the world.
