Gelded and fitted with cheekpieces today after eighth of 11 on debut at Newmarket over this trip. More needed but should improve.

25/1
Sixties Icon colt likely to need a little further in time so reverting from 7f on debut to 6f here a worry and was slow to start at Chepstow which is a bigger worry back in trip.

Ran with promise on debut at Kempton (7f) before close second as favourite at Redcar over 6f when nabbed close home. Leading claims to go one better here.

150/1 when a 19L ninth of 11 at Windsor on debut so best watched again here.

5/1
Mustajeeb colt the second foal to race out of a New Approach mare who won once over 1m. From a powerful yard so one to monitor in the market.

Roydmoor

18/1
Unraced son of Garswood and a half-brother to useful sprinter Red Balloons. Dam won twice over sprint distances on the AW and he is worth a check in the market for a top stable on his first racecourse appearance.

4/1
Yard having plenty of winners but this 28,000 euros son of Estidhkaar may be better for this debut outing although he is a half-brother to two juvenile winners, including at this trip.

Newcomer by Equiano out of an unraced dam related to winners in continental Europe cost £30,000 as yearling. Market best guide.

Adaay newcomer a half-sister to six quite ordinary winners cost just £3000 and looks best watched today.

Beverage11
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston
15/2
Alhebayeb filly improved plenty on second start when second of 11 beaten 1¾L over this trip at Lingfield. First turf start today but that no real concern and looks a major player for prolific yard.

Forecasts

Benin (9/4), Sadiqaa (4/1), Jadwal (5/1), Accrington Stanley (13/2), Soldier Lions (15/2), Beverage (15/2), Roydmoor (18/1), Astapor (25/1), Apache Mist (66/1), Charm Merchant (100/1), Smokey Malone (150/1)

Verdict

Two recent runners-up BENIN and Beverage headline this contest with preference for the former whose second came on turf as opposed to the latter's on AW. The selection got considerably closer to winning than the Johnston filly too. With several newcomers on show it would be no surprise should one or two show up prominently with Jadwal most appealing on pedigree.
  1. Benin
  2. Beverage
  3. Jadwal
