7/4

Exceed And Excel colt, dam a 1m winner and closely related to a US Grade 1 winner at 1m2f. Half-brother to a Group 3 winner. Newmarket second on his second start sets the standard but below that last time. Cheekpieces added.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| BF

5/2

Daughter of Elusive Quality and a first foal to an unraced sister to US dirt Grade 1 winner Questing. Raced freely to post and looked in need of the run when a promising enough third on debut. Stable has won both renewals of this race.

Form: 3

Forecasts

Mass Media (7/4), Magic Twist (5/2), Wild Hero (11/4), Inca Man (12/1), Glorious Zoff (12/1), Bodyline (16/1)

Mass Media would be very hard to beat if reproducing his second run and connections will be hoping the addition of headgear will bounce him straight back on track. MAGIC TWIST will be looking to land a treble in this race for her stable and having been sent off joint favourite on debut, she looked likely to improve significantly for the experience. Wild Hero raced better than the bare result suggested after veering early on debut.
