Changed hands for just £6,000 in December 2019 after failing to feature at all on debut for Sir Michael Stoute at Chelmsford (1m; standard). Very difficult to make a case for on that basis so opposed with confidence.
Makes belated racecourse debut at the age of five after failing to make it to the track for John Gosden. Attractive on paper but sold out of that yard for just 10,000gns (was a €520,000 yearling) in October 2018. Watching brief needed.
Finished last in a bumper and novice hurdle in two-race career so far. Now makes debut on the level and can only be watched on all known form as she drops from 2m down to 1m2f.
Newcomer by Sepoy. Only cost 2,500gns as a yearling. Half-brother to four winners. Stable don't tend to have winning newcomers, so unlikely this gelding is going to change that.
Ran on through beaten horses to finish a distant second to an impressive winner on the AW recently, but not as good when well-held at Pontefract (1m2f; good to firm) last week. First-time visor applied and others make far greater appeal.
Showed marginal progress from likeable debut effort to finish third at Windsor (1m; good to firm) last time out. Now tries 1m2f for the first time which could be the key to unlocking the required improvement. Yard don't send many to this track.
Not disgraced on debut when making late gains inside the final furling to finish sixth at Haydock (1m; soft) at the start of the month. Needs to progress but a definite player if able to do so in this weaker assignment.
Eased down to finish ninth on debut at Hamilton (1m; soft) last month when always struggling. Now has masses to prove off the back of that as she steps up in trip. Best watched.

New Chapter (4/7), Let Me Be (2/1), Bellatrixsa (11/4), Gratot (5/1), Poetica (22/1), Detective (50/1), Make Some Magic (50/1), Cole Noir (66/1), Taramanda (150/1)
In a race which doesn't look the strongest on paper, it seems notable that William Haggas decides to send NEW CHAPTER on the long trip up North. The stable have had just three runners at this track over the past five years, and two of those have won. This Invincible Spirit colt can improve for the step up in trip and add to that impressive record. He doesn't set an impossible standard for the others to reach, so if he were to disappoint then Let Me Be would be a likely candidate to capitalise on that after he has looked a real prospect in winning a pair of National Hunt bumpers. Also on the shortlist is Bellatrixsa who is eased in class after displaying promise on debut.
