Global Resolve¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: S De Sousa| T: P & J Clutterbuck

28/1

Related to winners and showed something when fifth at Lingfield first time out. This is a stronger contest, though, and he's probably going to struggle.

Form: 5

My Mate Charlie¹¹⁰

100/1

Failed to beat a rival in a bumper and looks set for another struggle on Flat debut.

Arabian Light²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

1/5

Related to a couple of winners and made a highly encouraging start when runner-up (despite a slow break) in a strong novice over C&D last month. Open to plenty of improvement and should take all the beating.

Form: 2

Forglen

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Edward Greatrex| T: W Stone

80/1

Charm Spirit gelding. Dam 5f/6f winner (including at 2 yrs). Bred to be speedy and this looks a big ask for a newcomer.

King's Coronation¹⁰⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| BFWS

11/2

Caught the eye on debut and built on that when runner-up at Wolverhampton 108 days ago. That form has a strong look to it and he's worthy of interest on his first start since leaving John & Thady Gosden.

Form: 52

Rock Armour⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler

80/1

Has shown ability on both starts to date but will be of more interest once handicapped.

Form: 35

Shimmering Spin

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

9/1

$65,000 yearling, Hard Spun colt. Dam US 6f/6.5f winner. Interesting newcomer for a yard that can get one ready.

Form:

Zenzic⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ray Dawson| T: T KentWS

40/1

Hinted at ability on debut but failed to back it up at Newbury a couple of months ago. Gelded and had breathing operation since last seen. Others are more appealing.

Form: 40

Amongst The Stars²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jim Crowley| T: D & C Kubler

33/1

Hasn't offered much to date and is unlikely to feature.

Forecasts

Arabian Light (1/5), Tareefa (7/4), King's Coronation (11/2), Shimmering Spin (9/1), Global Resolve (28/1), Amongst The Stars (33/1), Zenzic (40/1), Rock Armour (80/1), Forglen (80/1), My Mate Charlie (100/1)

ARABIAN LIGHT looked an excellent prospect despite finding one too good here on debut and, in a weaker contest, he's well fancied to go one better. King's Coronation is a fascinating newcomer for new connections and the obvious danger,
