Son of Kodiac and a half-brother to high class pair Maasaat and Eqtidaar; held in fifth here on debut in May 2019 and not spotted since; market should be revealing on return.
Harbour Watch gelding; well held both starts including 16¾L defeat over extended-mile here at the start of the month. Hard to see drop in distance working the oracle now.
Cost £40,000 as a yearling; showed only minor promise in pair of turf starts over 5f/6f back in September at Ascot and Beverley on quick ground; off since and plenty improvement required here.
Son of Lethal Force; three-figure prices in both runs so far but shaped with some degree of purpose at Chepstow (6f, good) earlier this month. Needs to build on that to have place claims on AW bow.
Changed hands for 185,000 gns at the sales last year; shaped with promise on debut at Windsor (6f, good; 2-1) in June 2019 before missing a year; lacklustre over 7f (soft) at Haydock this month on comeback but remains early days; one to note.
Son of Dark Angel, gelded prior to first start at Lingfield (5f, AW; 9-4) in August last year and was in trouble some way from home; not spotted since but returns to action likely capable of bettering that effort before long.
Delegator colt was a 150-1 chance on debut this month at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) and he never threatened to get involved after breaking slowly; may need more time to get the hang of the job.
Exposed Dark Angel gelding has finished in the money six times in 10 starts; including over 5f here last year. Too keen in first-time visor (off now) at Leicester (7f) last week but both previous Haydock runs this term promising. Sets the standard.
Five-race maiden, went close on soft ground at Nottingham (6f) in August last year before being outclassed in €147k Curragh sales race on final start; AW/seasonal bow and has definite claims if stripping fit enough.
Nicely bred Cable Bay filly, took a while to get the hang of things on debut at Lingfield (6f, AW; 16-1) in January but eventually ran on to good effect (fourth); should be more to come before long.
€10,000 foal, Slade Power filly. Half-sister to 5f/6f winner Alba Del Sole; yard has gone a year without a winner and this would be a surprise place to see the barren run end.
Forecasts
Sermon (10/11), Baraajeel (9/4), Cupid's Beau (11/1), Upstate New York (12/1), Kingsholm (14/1), Blue Cable (16/1), Momentum Swing (25/1), Midwinter Dreams (50/1), Bernard Spierpoint (100/1), Flip Mode (100/1), Send In The Clouds (100/1)
Perhaps Sermon was undone by keenness in a visor last time at Leicester, and his early turf efforts this season give him strong claims in this sphere, but he's had plenty chances to win and is likely short enough in the betting here. UPSTATE NEW YORK shaped well on turf last summer and Richard Fahey's son of No Nay Never can take this if he's revved up on his return. Blue Cable made good late ground on debut at Lingfield 186 days ago and has definite scope for improvement while Kingsholm is surely going to be better than he has shown to date.
