Fairly useful colt. Placed on 6 of 7 Flat runs, including when third of 12 in maiden at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm) 41 days ago. May have more to come over this trip and he ranks highly.

Sea The Stars colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 9f (Balanchine) Summer Romance. Interesting pedigree and yard can ready one to win on debut, though this looks a fairly useful event.

5/1
Thrice-raced filly. Seen to good effect when chasing home Emily Upjohn at Sandown but could only manage sixth of 9 in maiden (7/2) at Ascot (10f, good) 21 days ago. Best form puts her in the mix, though.

Forecasts

King Of Ice (9/4), Ajero (3/1), Gaius (4/1), Follow That Star (5/1), Coolnaugh Haze (11/1), Ochil House (12/1), Sea The Casper (18/1), Just Josh (125/1), Desert William (150/1), Miss Metropolitan (200/1)

Verdict

A fascinating maiden, and perhaps an opportunity for GAIUS to finally get his head in front. Richard Hannon's colt is bred to be at his best over middle distances and made a pleasing return at Nottingham. Potential dangers are numerous, with useful hurdler Ajero and the returning King of Ice perhaps likeliest to give the selection most trouble.

  1. Gaius4/1
  2. Ajero3/1
  3. King Of Ice9/4
