Fair gelding. 84/10 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 15 in maiden at Deauville (9.4f). Off 112 days. First run for yard after leaving H-F. Devin and he should leave that opening run well behind in time.

Wendell's Lad⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ross Coakley| T: E A L Dunlop

33/1

Promising individual. Last of 5 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 9/4) 48 days ago. Significantly down in trip and he remains capable of better.

Form: 35

(7)

Crenelle

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: M Harley| T: J & T Gosden

10/11

Kingman filly. Dam, 7f/1m winner, half-sister to high-class 1¼m-1½m winner Logician. Lots to like on paper and confidence behind this filly in the betting would look highly significant.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: D Swift| T: P A Kirby

250/1

Once-raced filly. 40/1, sixth of 7 in maiden at Newcastle (8f) on debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Hard to warm to.

Forecasts

Crenelle (10/11), Franklin William (5/1), Vidhaata (7/1), Overstate (9/1), Combat Style (10/1), Invincible King (11/1), Codswallop (25/1), Wendell's Lad (33/1), War Of Words (50/1), Appier (66/1), Our Boy Sam (125/1), Marilla (250/1), Lucarnip (500/1)

Armed with a fine Juddmonte pedigree, CRENELLE ticks pretty much all the right boxes on paper and the hint should be taken if there's confidence behind this filly in the betting. Fellow newcomer Invincible King is also appealing on paper and is feared most ahead of Wendell's Lad, who is very much the pick of those with experienced based on his encouraging Lingfield debut in January.
