Twice-raced colt. Fifth of 13 in minor event (66/1) at Kempton (7f) 8 days ago, very much having run of race. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Once-raced colt. Fifth of 8 in maiden at Goodwood (6f, soft, 6/1) on debut 16 days ago. Open to improvement and he should have a part to play.

Lightly-raced colt. First past the post in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 10/3) 26 days ago. Very much the one to beat.

Twice-raced colt. Third of 5 in maiden (6/1) at Sandown (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Minor place money is probably the best he can hope for.

Twice-raced colt. 100/1, twelfth of 16 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Readily passed over.

Foaled April 8. Vocalised colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Mccabe. Dam 2-y-o 7.4f winner. Will only be of interest on debut here if the market vibes are notably upbeat.

Forecasts

Home City (4/7), Harb (15/8), Definitive Force (11/1), My Little Tip (18/1), Adjudicator (33/1), Atheby (40/1), They Don't Know (50/1), Ringo Starlight (100/1)

Verdict

It will look significant if the market vibes surrounding newcomer DEFINITIVE FORCE are strong, given his appealing pedigree and the fact that he holds an entry in the Middle Park. The Dandy Man colt gets the nod ahead of Home City, who landed a big-field Newbury novice last month but subsequently lost the race in the stewards' room. Harb shaped well on debut at Goodwood and also merits respect.
