11/1
Fair filly. 4/1, career best when winning 9-runner nursery at this C&D 14 days ago. Has taken well to polytrack, so no forlorn hope for all she has more on her plate back in novice company.

Foaled April 12. Adaay gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 7f winner Caprella and 2-y-o 6f winner Song of Time. Dam 5f/6f winner. Interesting debutant for shrewd yard.

5/4
Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 10 in nursery at Haydock (7.2f, good to soft, 2/1) 55 days ago, no match for winner. Makes polytrack debut. Visor on 1st time. Big player.

Forecasts

Dukedom (5/4), Antiphon (7/4), Aussie Banker (8/1), Be Glorious (11/1), Aries Lad (22/1), Jackmeister Rudi (28/1), Guitar (33/1), Little Raven (33/1), Minesbiggerthanurs (50/1), Cabeza De Llave (66/1), Chattonaga Girl (80/1), Mawingo (125/1), Astonbury (200/1)

Verdict

DUKEDOM doesn't look progressive but he's the marginal form pick and a visor might eke a bit more out of him, so he gets the nod to prevail at the likely expense of Antiphon, who was just touched off at Wolverhampton last time. Aries Lad is the pick of the newcomers.

  1. DUKEDOM (IRE)
  2. ANTIPHON (IRE)
  3. ARIES LAD
