4/1

Golden Horn colt who shaped with promise when second of 9 in minor event (28/1) at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 63 days ago on his final run for Jane Chapple-Hyam. Should progress further for his new handler. Player.

28/1

£33,000 3-y-o, New Approach gelding. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 2m (stayed 2½m) Cross Counter. Appeals on paper but the market can prove an accurate indicator for this newcomer.

Forecasts

Esmeray (4/5), It's Marvellous (4/1), Golden Delite (4/1), Miller Spirit (5/1), Quietness (9/1), Night Breeze (28/1), Zoffalay (100/1)

A few of these have better days ahead of them but Ralph Beckett's progressive Sea The Moon filly ESMERAY holds the edge on form so is taken to emerge on top from Mick Appleby's promising new recruit Golden Delite. Quietness is open to progress too and can have a say in an intriguing maiden.
