5/4
Exceed And Excel colt who was much improved from debut when winning a C&D novice last time by 1½L from Sur Mer (runs 2:00). Will progress again and has leading claims.

Horse silk
8/1
Better effort for Luke McJannet when fourth of 11 to Brad The Brief in maiden at Bath in August. Still looked inexperienced there, so ought to do better for new yard, and market should be useful.

2/1
Has improved a little for switch to handicaps, and again ran with credit when third of 9 to Maysong in nursery at Kempton last time. Untried on this surface, but holds a fair chance on form.

66/1
By Fast Company out of a maiden, and while he can't be discounted on debut, this looks a tough enough task for a newcomer.

Horse silk
100/1
Cost 125,000 gns as a foal, but has started at big odds and shown nothing in two starts to date. Needs this for a handicap mark.
6

Horse silk
9/2
Has an ordinary pedigree, but caught the eye when 3L fourth of 6 to Triple Spear in a 5f maiden at Wolverhampton in December. Entitled to improve, for all that form is hard to quantify.
7
(7)
Horse silk
66/1
Slowly away and green when last of 5 to Youneverletmedown in a 5f novice at Newcastle recently. Likely to need more experience before revealing her true worth.
8
(3)
Horse silk
12/1
First foal of a winning half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Jeanne Girl. Makes some appeal on pedigree, and market should be useful in assessing her chances.

Forecasts

Lion Tower (5/4), Broken Rifle (2/1), Viva Voce (9/2), Big Impact (8/1), The Mackem Rocket (12/1), El Agronomo (66/1), Helmet House (66/1), Mercurist (100/1)

Verdict

LION TOWER and Broken Rifle stand out on form, but with the former less exposed and also proven on the surface, he gets a fairly confident vote to follow up his recent C&D success. Big Impact, making his debut for a new yard, and newcomer Mackem Rocket need a market check.
