Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83| BF| D

5/2

Scored at the second attempt at Hamilton (6f) in an impressive 5L victory. Was fancied to follow it up last time at Doncaster when going off as the 7/4 favourite but had to settle for fourth place of nine. Likely to be a leading player here again.

Form: 214

1/1

Broke his maiden at the fifth attempt last time when scoring at Windsor over this distance, justifying why he had gone off as the 11/10 favourite. Was staying on strongly at the finish so more can be expected. Big chance.

Form: 53331

Diligent Deb¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: W R Muir| OR: 81

7/1

Tasted victory on her debut at Windsor (5f) but since then has struggled in Group 3 company. She was last of nine on her latest run at Ascot over 6f. This assignment is much easier here, however, she will need to prove herself over this distance.

Form: 199

Hubert¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: S Kirk| OR: 79| D

6/1

Has yet to be out of the frame on her four starts so far. She picked up her maiden success on her latest outing at Ffos Las over this distance, getting up late to score by a neck. Open to improvement. One for the shortlist.

Form: 3231

Port Winston²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: A King| OR: 75

16/1

Showed some promise on his opening start of his career when he was third of 10 at Windsor (5f). Has been well held on his last two runs though, including latest when eighth of 12 on the AW at Wolverhampton (7f). One to watch on drop down in trip.

Form: 368

Speed Dating¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 69

22/1

Has produced some modest form in his three starts so far without success. Changed yards before his last run where he finished fifth of 13 at Doncaster (7f). Back down in distance here. Open to improvement but others are preferred.

Form: 535

Endowed (1/1), One Hart (5/2), Hubert (6/1), Diligent Deb (7/1), Port Winston (16/1), Speed Dating (22/1)

ENDOWED was staying on really strongly at the finish last time at Windsor in what was his opening success. There is sure to be more to come from the gelding so he is the pick of the runners as he looks to follow up on what will be his first start on the AW. One Hart has done very little wrong in all three of his appearances so far and is unlikely to be far away at the finish on this latest attempt, while Hubert, who timed his run to perfection last time, will be staying on late to finish in the placings.
