50/1
Shamardal gelding made a winning start at Wolverhampton in November 2018 but hasn't been spotted since being pulled up in novice event there 13 months ago. Gives away a lot weight to younger horses on return.

4/1
Impressive 7L winner of a Kempton maiden over 7f in December on second start (191 days after debut). War Command colt seems likely to improve again and is firmly in the mix.

Toronado filly not without promise in two 7f turf maidens at Newbury and Salisbury last year; though must defy a 405-day absence now attempting to build on those runs.

40/1
Beaten only 4L in a useful Newmarket novice (7f, soft, good to soft in places) last backend, despite SP of 50-1. Should be able to offer something if tuned up after the break.

170,000 gns foal, Teofilo colt. Dam, 7f/1m winner, out of two-year-old 7f winner Eilean Ban, sister to smart performer up to 1m1f L'Oiseau d'Argent. Eyecatching newcomer in the Godolphin colours.

150/1
By Oasis Dream out of a Giant's Causeway mare, looked ordinary in novice events at Kempton and Chelmsford over 7f/1m late last year and needs a good step forward on return/turf bow.
Lemon Drop Kid gelding; dam winner up to 1m (two-year-old 7f winner), half-sister to useful winner up to 1m½f Dashing David. Market will reveal more on first start.

9/4
Nicely-bred colt out of Oaks third The Lark, looked in need of the experience when 3L sixth in a Kempton novice over 7f on debut in October. Improvement very likely and one for the shortlist.

14/1
Nicely-bred Invincible Spirit colt. Dam 1m4f-1m7f (Park Hill Stakes) winner, runner-up in British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes. Represents strong connections and could be a contender on first start.

33/1
New Approach colt is a half-brother to two-year-old 7f winner Todegica and useful 7f/1m winner Tomyris. Dam closely related to St Leger winner Rule of Law. Another newcomer that needs scrutiny.

Frankel filly whose dam was a winner up to 1m2f (including French Group 1) and also two-year-old 1m winner. Worth a close look on debut.

66/1
Homebred Camelot filly, well held in pair of AW novice contests over 1m at Kempton and Lingfield in the winter; needs to find plenty improvement on return/turf bow.

Forecasts

Discover Dubai (7/5), Magical Morning (9/4), Sky Commander (4/1), New Chapter (14/1), Tilly Frankl (20/1), Turkestan (33/1), Mayfair Pompette (40/1), Burano Boy (40/1), Just The Ticket (40/1), Youthful (50/1), Wand (66/1), Estate House (150/1)

Verdict

He was well-backed on his second start at Kempton in December and SKY COMMANDER gave his supporters an easy time with a 7L demolition of his opposition. The son of War Command looks quite smart and may be able to follow that up despite the weight he carries for his success. Magical Morning is a likely improver along with Burano Boy while newcomers Discover Dubai, New Chapter, Tilly Frankl and Turkestan have plenty merit on paper and must be monitored accordingly for confidence in the betting market.
