14/1
Intello gelding and has a regal pedigree. Hampered by setbacks so far and last seen being beaten 11L at Leopardstown (1m) in May 2019. Now switched yard and totally unexposed.
Night of Thunder colt who is a half-borther to various winners and made an impressive debut with 4L success at Wolverhampton (1m) 10 days ago. Penalised but looks very hard to beat.

Slight promise when tried in the national hunt sphere but sent off 300/1 and ran accordingly when 11th of 12 behind the smart Frankly Darling at Newcastle (1m2f) last month. Another tough task ahead.

50/1
Cheap yearling purchase and improved from debut effort when 5L seventh at Newcastle (7f) last October. That form is modest however and great step up required.

Archipenko colt who has ran to similar poor standard in two starts to date, including 15L defeat at Wolverhampton (1m) 10 days ago. More needed.
Archipenko gelding out of dam who won over 1m3f. Half-brother to once-raced maiden Aldente. Pedigree remains unknown but best watched on debut.

By top Australian juvenile Shooting To Win out of a dam who went unraced but half-brother to two-time winner Hark (1m1f). Unusual pedigree but a lot asked of him on debut.

Kitten's Joy colt who cost 130,000 gns as a yearling. Made late headway without troubling judge on debut over extended 1m at Wolverhampton in October. Entitled to improve.

Poet's Voice colt who is a half-brother to several winners but failed to get involved on debut when 5L seventh at Haydock (7f) 11 days ago. Looks more of a long-term prospect.

5/1
New Approach colt related to some smart performing types. Raced wide but did well enough when sixth of 12 at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) 10 days ago. Needs another look.

25/1
Showed slight signs on debut in September 2019 but bombed out with 30L defeat at York (1m) in October. Switches trainer but ground could be a worry. Best watched.

100/1
Requinto filly who is a half-sister to 5f winner Snoozy Sioux. Slow start cost any chance on debut when 11L 10th at Sligo (5f, good) last Summer. Tough ask on first start for this yard.

Forecasts

Streak Lightning (2/7), Turkestan (5/1), Egrecio (14/1), Magic Voice (16/1), Kitten's Dream (20/1), Puckle (25/1), Caribeno (40/1), Greyfire (40/1), Binyon (50/1), Gainsboro Grey (80/1), Requinto's Rose (100/1), Fair Sheriff (200/1)

Verdict

There is one standout piece of form coming into this novice contest courtesy of STREAK LIGHTNING, who lived up to his nametag with a blitzing performance on his debut. The penalty against his rivals should prove to be no issue and could be a smart horse for the future. It is close on ratings for the places but Turkestan faired well-enough on debut to suggest in time he will improve. and his trainer is also starting to hit a turn in form. While the likes of Kitten's Dream and the unexposed Egrecio need to find a lot but look the best of the rest.
  1. Streak Lightning
  2. Turkestan
  3. Kitten's Dream
