Nice winner at Salisbury on debut but beaten 20L into second in minor contest at Pontefract (1m4f) last time out. Has been gelded since but bounce back is required.

Built upon promising debut significantly to land 7L victory in 1m4f Bath maiden in June. Looked a stayer in the making that day and could be open to more progress.

Promising sort. A lot to like from his debut effort when second in extended 1m1f maiden at Wolverhampton last month. Should come on for that effort and will only benefit at this trip.

Betan by St Leger winner Logician on debut and improving ever since, including second in 1m2f Goodwood novice last time out. Open to more progression so can't be discounted.

24,000 gns yearling. By Prix Du Jockey Club winner and is closely related to smart performer Rivellino. Looks to have a speedy pedigree and best watched on debut.

Cityscape gelding. Half-Brother to several winners including 1m3f winner Sonnetist. Likely to improve on whatever race he runs but up against some good rivals in this.

Forecasts

Great Esteem (1/2), Look Closely (4/1), Monaafasah (5/1), Isabella Brant (13/2), Mankayan (16/1), Hart Fell (33/1), Smart Samba (66/1), Social City (100/1)

Verdict

MONAAFASAH caught many people's attention with her authoritative victory at Bath last time out and is the preference to win once again. She looked a stout stayer that day and could have further improvement which could see her evolve into a stakes performer. Look Closely has ran with credit each time and has the profile to suggest he will land one of these contests in time, while Great Esteem is likely to have come on leaps and bounds for his debut effort.
