Promise in maidens/minor event this year and wasn't seen to best effect on handicap debut when fourth at Lingfield (6f, AW, 9/4) 32 days ago, needing a stronger gallop. Fancied to be in the mix on turf debut.

Finished down the field on 3 outings last year for William Haggas and failed to take a step forward on return sent handicapping (in cheekpieces) when fifth at Bath 11 days ago. More required.

Found some improvement when fourth of 8 on handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) on return last month but not in the same form at Southwell since. Back at 6f and bounce back required in first-time headgear.

9/2
Modest maiden who ran respectably in a first-time visor when fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) in January. Failed to repeat that effort at Kempton 11 days later and has since left Alice Haynes. Headgear left off.

Took a step forward from his reappearance when runner-up at Yarmouth (6f, heavy) 17 days ago, slightly inconvenienced by the winner drifting across him. Fully-fledged rider takes over and looks to have serious claims of going one better.

Low-key start to her career but improved despite not being seen to best effect on handicap debut when mid-field at the Curragh (6f, heavy) just over a fortnight ago. Should have more to offer on her first outing on these shores.

Forecasts

Starnight (2/1), Ghost Lights (5/2), Silks Graphite (4/1), Insolente (9/2), Cloud Queen (11/1), River Naver (18/1)

Verdict

SILKS GRAPHITE took his form up a notch when runner-up at Yarmouth last month and with a fully-fledged rider back on board, Darryll Holland's charge is fancied to open his account. Ghost Lights is put forward as the main threat on turf debut for the in-form Charles Hills, with Irish-raider Starnight rounding off the shortlist.

  1. Silks Graphite4/1
  2. Ghost Lights5/2
  3. Starnight2/1
