Well held in both starts to date including when 13L eighth over 6f at Pontefract (good) earlier this month. Likely to be of more interest once eligible for handicaps.
Fair effort in finishing eighth in a 1m1f event at Dieppe (soft) on his sole start for Alain De Royer-Dupre in France last year. Interesting to see how he performs dropping markedly in trip on stable debut.
Ran well on both starts in spring 2019 most recently when 5L second in a 7f novice contest at Lingfield (good). Winner that day is now rated 91 and she holds strong claims of breaking her maiden in this contest.
Failed to figure and hung left-handed when finishing last of ten in a 7f maiden here on debut recently. Others hold more obvious claims.
Stepped up markedly on debut effort when finishing 3½L fourth in a 7f maiden at Wolverhampton earlier this month. One to note dropping back in trip on his return to turf.
Slowly away when finishing a well held 26L ninth in a 7f maiden at Chepstow (good) when debuting earlier this month. Probably best watched at present.
Unraced Kyllachy gelding sold for €50,000 at the sales as a foal in November 2017. Half-brother to the useful Canticum among others and represents a top yard on racecourse debut.
Unraced Exceed And Excel gelding purchased for 120,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to the useful Yafta and is an interesting runner on his first racecourse appearance.
Best effort in two starts to date came when finishing third in a 7f maiden at Yarmouth (good) on seasonal and turf debut a fortnight ago. Interesting for a top yard with a 31% strike-rate (26/85) in the last two weeks.
Fair efforts on both starts so far most recently when sixth over this trip at Chelmsford two weeks ago. Likely more needed if he's to take this event however.
Signs of ability prior to weakening into eighth when beaten 7½L in a 7f maiden on the AW at Lingfield when debuting just over a fortnight ago. Worth a check in the market dropping in trip.
Unraced Anjaal filly bought for 6,000 gns as a yearling. Dam pulled up on her only racecourse appearance and others hold more obvious claims on debut.

Aristocratic Lady (2/1), Thebian (3/1), Penmaen Spirit (7/2), Kingsholm (5/1), Glorious Rio (10/1), Summit Fever (16/1), Musicality (18/1), Sartaj (18/1), Ventura Express (20/1), Saharan Shimmer (25/1), Majalaat (50/1), Zinnia (80/1), Mr Zee (150/1), Tilsworth Emerald (250/1)
THEBIAN hails from an in form yard and he is taken to break his maiden at the third time of asking in this competitive looking sprint maiden. The selection can get the better of Aristocratic Lady who ran well on both of her appearances last year while third place can go to Glorious Rio who is dropping back in distance.
