33/1

Once raced son of Fountain Of Youth beat just one home at Nottingham six weeks back so remains best watched.

Cliffs Of Freedom¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: Kevin Coleman

9/2

Colt by Canford Cliffs out of a Sea The Stars mare ran really well on debut when second of 14 at Down Royal over 7f last month. Fact that was on Yielding ground bodes well for this surface and he looks the one to beat.

Form: 2

Evora Knights

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby

20/1

£26,000 newcomer by Equiano half-brother to several winners most of which proved effective on AW. Yard's newcomers however tend to need their first run.

Jump The Gun¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 73

8/11

Placed in four of his five races leading to a 73 official rating. Yet to run on Fibresand but other AW surfaces and turf been handled equally well and he should again be in the shake up here.

Qinwan¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

11/4

Twice raced son of Paco Boy yet to make a huge impression in two turf starts but represents a prolific yard so would be a surprise if we don't see a step forward soon.

Form: 64

Belle Rousse

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott

18/1

Archipenko newcomer the first progeny of a 1m5f-2m winning dam. One of two newcomers for the yard but likely need a great deal further; the sort her trainer excels with over staying distances at three.

Dancing Leopard^v1²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 65

15/2

Shade disappointing latest at Musselburgh when last of four but some promise about her first two starts and given connections she wouldn't be one to rule out just yet. Visor added and this yard do excellently in first-time headgear.

Forecasts

Jump The Gun (8/11), Qinwan (11/4), Cliffs Of Freedom (9/2), Capla Cubiste (13/2), Dancing Leopard (15/2), Belle Rousse (18/1), Evora Knights (20/1), American Dreamer (33/1), Steve Blake (33/1)

Irish raider CLIFFS OF FREEDOM ran with great promise in Northern Ireland latest and looks the sort likely to appreciate this surface so he is fancied to take this purse back to Co. Kildare . Consistent sort Jump The Gun has solid form and rates the biggest danger although Dancing Leopard and Qinwan are likely improvers for their prolific yards.
