Horse A-Z
Seventh foal from a 7f Fibresand winner (Rainbows Guest); dreadfully inexperienced when finishing a remote last of five on debut here (1m) last month and remains best watched.

€180,000 yearling by Siyouni who is a half-brother to eight winners, the best of which is French Listed winner Mambomiss. Yard can ready a newcomer so market may prove best guide.

5/1
Midfield on debut at York last June but much more competitive at Wolverhampton 15 days ago when third over 6f. Looked likely to appreciate extra 1f today and entitled to come on plenty so a definite contender today.
$72,000 yearling by Munnings out of a dirt winner and half-brother to US 1m 2yo dirt winner Hollywood Glory. Ought to appreciate the surface and market can guide here.

Well related son of Dawn Approach a respectable 3L third behind a well-backed Archie Watson on debut at Chelmsford (7f) just over a week ago. That form as good as any and obviously can improve for it so the one to beat here.

Midfield on debut at Kempton (7f) before finishing second to a clear-cut winner in a four-runner 6f Chelmsford novice. Hard to gauge that form but showed enough to belong on the shortlist.

16/1
£38,000 daughter of Slade Power a half-sister to two winners in continental Europe. Market the best guide today.

Forecasts

Old Harbour (11/8), Business (2/1), Godfather (5/1), Miller's House (14/1), Psychic Power (16/1), The Cola Kid (20/1), Sleeper Queen (100/1)

Verdict

There isn't much between Chelmsford third OLD HARBOUR and Wolverhampton third Godfather. The selection can improve given that was his debut and the latter can improve for an extra 1f so they are closely matched here. Newcomers offer the best alternatives with Business boasting the most attractive pedigree on paper.
  1. Old Harbour
  2. Godfather
  3. Business
