Fair form in a trio of bumpers but comfortably held in maiden/novice events on the Flat in recent weeks and surely more one for handicaps after this.

9/1
Looked useful when making a winning debut for Bhupat Seemar on dirt at Meydan in November. Ran as if amiss when last of 8 there 7 weeks later. Has had wind surgery ahead of this British debut. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations.

Twice-raced maiden. Fourth on 1m Kempton debut in April. Not in the same form when sixth (Fly Zone second) on turf at Yarmouth since and quickly reverts to AW.

Left last year's Kempton debut behind when chasing home the impressive Embesto in a 1m Yarmouth maiden at the start of this month. More to come and leading claims.

€80,000 Roaring Lion colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Al Battar and 9f/1¼m winner Gareth. Dam, 1m (Falmouth Stakes)-1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 1m/8.6f winner Big Baz. From a top yard and market confidence could prove significant.

Fair form. Respectable seventh of 16 in maiden at Newmarket (1m, good to soft, 7/1) 36 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Hood back on. Might be vulnerable to less-exposed types.

11/2, showed a bit when fourth of 9 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut last autumn. Should have more to offer for a leading stable in good form.

Forecasts

Fly Zone (2/1), Mubhijah (5/2), Leading Lion (9/2), Nigiri (11/2), Royal Dubai (9/1), Covert Legend (18/1), Louaizeh (25/1), Mathematician (66/1), Beau Vintage (125/1), Dotties Star (125/1), Show Me The Wire (250/1)

Verdict

Although FLY ZONE couldn't live with a smart prospect at Yarmouth earlier this month he still showed more than enough to think a race like this should be within his grasp. Leading Lion is a well-bred newcomer from the Gosden stable and would be a threat if the betting vibes are strong, although his draw isn't an easy one for a debutant. Nigiri showed promise on last autumn's Newmarket debut and also makes the shortlist.

  1. Fly Zone2/1
  2. Leading Lion9/2
  3. Nigiri11/2
