40/1

Once-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 11 in maiden at Ascot (6f, good to soft) on debut 16 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. In goods hands but will need to leave that initial run well behind if he's to play a part.

66/1

Twice-raced maiden. 22/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good) 16 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Others make more appeal.

Once-raced maiden. 14/1, fourth of 9 in minor event at York (6f, good to firm) on debut 79 days ago. Place possibilities for yard that also fields a likely-looking newcomer in State of Chaos.

€80,000 yearling. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 5f winner Canzone and 7f winner Archies Lad. Dam, 7f/7.6f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Balisada. Lots to like on paper and market check a must.

Zipster²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford

6/4

Promising individual. Fifth of 13 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 7/1) on debut 20 days ago, not knocked about. Likely to improve and he needs considering.

Form: 5

Cake By The Ocean¹¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: D Loughnane

125/1

Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in maiden at Yarmouth (5.2f, soft, 6/1) on debut. Off 111 days and, like her stablemate Dadas Boy, she will be of greater interest when handicapping later on.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Zipster (6/4), Media Shooter (9/2), Bibendum (9/2), Korroor (11/2), Stanley Spencer (6/1), Salamanca Lad (25/1), Amroon (33/1), He's Got Game (40/1), State Of Chaos (50/1), Red Chatan (66/1), Cake By The Ocean (125/1), Dadas Boy (150/1), Ensign Wilson (200/1)

BIBENDUM fetched €260,000 when resold this year and shaped with promise when third in a 5.2f Yarmouth maiden last month. He will be more street-wise this time and, with this stiffer test likely to be in his favour, the Showcasing colt is taken to strike. Zipster also made an encouraging start to his career and is next on the list ahead of Stanley Spencer and likely-looking newcomer State of Chaos.
