Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 8 in novice at Leicester (1¼m, good to soft, 12/1) 49 days ago. Would be a surprise winner.

Northern Ruler

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

15/2

500,000 gns Kingman colt. Dam unraced half-sister to Falmouth Stakes winner Timepiece and Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner Passge of Time from an excellent family. Makes obvious paper appeal but he'll need to be very useful to win this on debut.

Roi De France²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & T Gosden| BF

10/11

Runner-up both starts. Beaten at short odds on his C&D reappearance 3 weeks ago but he was clear of the rest and looks capable of better still for his top stable.

Form: 2-2

125/1

Forecasts

Roi De France (10/11), Amphius (6/4), Northern Ruler (15/2), Raheena (8/1), Edwardtheninth (33/1), Endeavours (100/1), Anhydrous (100/1), Bayadere (125/1), Drusilla (200/1)

This is likely to develop into a straight fight between AMPHIUS and Roi de France, with a narrow preference for the former. Northern Ruler will need to be good to trouble that pair on debut but he does make obvious paper appeal.
