Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

28/1

Much improved from debut when winning 14-runner novice at Kempton in September. Off since and tough ask to be shouldering top weight in what looks a hot race.

5/1

Ten Sovereigns half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart 6.5f-1m winner Obviously (including Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, by Choisir). Looked potentially useful when making a winning start in 8-runner Yarmouth maiden last month. Respected under a penalty.

Shamardal filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 1½m Midterm and 9f/1¼m winner Mori, both smart. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner), including 6 Group/Grade 1s. Much better for debut when winning maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) in November. Respected under a penalty.

33/1

100,000 gns yearling, Ten Sovereigns colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Arkendale. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to Dewhurst Stakes winner Intense Focus. Would have to be at least useful to be making a winning debut in a race like this.

3/1

Kingman colt. Brother to very smart winner up to 1¼m Sangarius and smart 1m-1¼m winner Greek Order and half-brother to 3 winners. Scopey sort who made a promising start when fourth behind subsequent Dante winner Economics in 17-runner maiden at Newbury 6 weeks ago. Sure to improve and big shout.

English Harbour³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

3/1

Kingman gelding. Half-brother to smart 7f-1m winner Tinker Toy and useful 1¼m winner Voodoo Queen. Dam 2-y-o 6f/7f (Moyglare Stud Stakes) winner. Showed plenty to work on when chasing home a subsequent lised winner in Yarmouth maiden last month. Could be useful and needs considering.

Form: 2

Midnight Missile¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: M Appleby

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 5 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good) 10 days ago, very slowly away. Huge outsider.

Form: 65

18/1

Frankel colt. Brother to high-class 7f-1½m winner Mostahdaf and half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart 7f/1m winner Nazeef and smart 1m winner Mostabshir. Failed to meet market expectations when fifth of 8 in maiden (13/8) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) on debut 10 days ago.

Sword¹⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

9/2

500,000 gns Kingman colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Oceania Legend. Showed plenty to work on when fourth of 13 in novice at Kempton (8f, 9/2) in November, held back by greenness initially but a notable eyecatcher by the finish. Open to significant improvement.

Forecasts

Amphius (3/1), English Harbour (3/1), Sword (9/2), Fifty Nifty (5/1), Indelible (9/1), Brindley (12/1), Savvy Exchange (12/1), Mutaawid (18/1), Parkland (22/1), Piloto Pardo (28/1), Ajdayet (33/1), Midnight Missile (150/1)

ENGLISH HARBOUR showed plenty when beaten only by a very smart prospect in a maiden at Yarmouth last month and shades the vote over Amphius, who also made a promising start when fourth in a maiden won by Dante winner Economics. Sword was a big eyecatcher when fourth in a novice at Kempton in the autumn and is another to consider in what looks a strong novice.
