Tamayuz gelding; made the frame on all three juvenile starts, including when caught close home by the odds-on favourite Berkshire Savvy at Wolverhampton (7f) in December.

Rose sharply in the weights (a combined total of 14lb) for winning back-to-back nurseries late last season (Thirsk, 6f & Newcastle, 7f); should strip fitter for a recent comeback run on Tapeta; bred to stay (dam won over 1m4f); place chance.

Both wins have come on the AW (7f-1m); clearly race-fit from a couple of near misses since the recent resumption of racing; returns to turf and a wide draw probably isn't ideal for this pacy colt; vulnerable?

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-4| J: T P Queally| T: A King| OR:  72
6/1
Much more professional (raced closer to the pace) on his third career start when turning over the John Gosden-trained King Of Arms at Wolverhampton (1m½f) last October; appears to be fairly weighted for handicap debut; key player.

Won twice as a juvenile for Richard Hughes (7½f-1m) before moving on for 15,000gns; returns to action for stable debut off a 245-day absence; trainer is yet to fire on return from the imposed lock-down; one for another day?

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR:  70

Galileo filly (220,000gns yearling); twice finished runner-up, including on soft ground (7f) during an all too brief career with William Haggas; low-key on nursery/stable debut last October and absent since; basic market check advised.

La Trinidad166

11/1
Has shown no more than glimmers of ability on the track to date (0-4); folded tamely (7-2) in a 6f novice at Southwell early in the New Year; absent since and is essentially difficult to fancy on handicap debut; stablemate of Cold War Steve.

28/1
Didn't fare too badly on occasions as a juvenile, including when contesting a 7f Class 3 Ascot novice last July; is easing in the weights, but best watched off a 299-day absence on debut for Rebecca Menzies.

40/1
Six-race maiden; runner-up for Joseph O'Brien on the Polytrack at Dundalk (7f) last October; sold for £12,000 in January 2020; slowly away and always on the back-foot on recent stable debut at Newcastle (6f).

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-9| J: Rowan Scott(3)| T: N Tinkler| OR:  63
40/1
Lawman filly; a regular on the Westwood (3226) during her juvenile campaign; her form tailed-off towards the end of the season, so she needs to bounce right back to her best in order to threaten to exploit an easing mark.

8/1
Set some reasonably stiff tasks (Class 3 & 4) as a juvenile, but offered little in the way of promise for the future either; returns to action for handicap debut from a lowly official rating (63).

Ran into the frame at massive odds (80-1) at Southwell (7f) in November, yet hasn't demonstrated too much in the way of ability during any of his other three racecourse visits; stablemate of La Trinidad.

Verdict

Essentially a moderate contest. Ed Dunlop saddles the top-weight Take Me To The Sky who has shown more than enough ability to figure reasonably prominently in a race of this nature. However, a slight preference is for the Alan King-trained CHINESE WHISPERER. This Poet's Voice colt has shown steady improvement with racing, and appears to be fairly weighted on his handicap debut. Of the remainder, the in-form and pacy Bavardages could prove vulnerable on his return to turf from a disadvantageous wide draw (stall 13).
