9/2

10/1, fifth of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 30 days ago, staying on once the penny finally dropped. Can be expected to improve.

11/4, shaped encouragingly when fifth of 10 in maiden at Newbury (8f, good to firm) on debut 21 days ago. Likely to improve, possibly considerably so.

16/1

25/1, caught the eye when fifth of 11 in maiden at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) on debut 34 days ago, running on from the rear without being knocked about. Open to improvement.

Forecasts

Isambard Brunel (15/8), Aftermath (3/1), Fifth Column (10/3), Calla Lagoon (9/2), Seaplane (15/2), Frankini (10/1), Al Samed (12/1), Tornado Alert (12/1), Yankee Dude (12/1), Too Soon (16/1), Desert Heart (20/1), Winston's Warrior (33/1), Solar Army (50/1)

This promises to be an informative maiden. ISAMBARD BRUNEL should be a lot wiser for last month's Newbury debut and is preferred to Fifth Column, another who should be much more clued up with an outing under his belt. Frankini and Tornado Alert, who represents last year's winning yard, are a couple of interesting newcomers.
