13/2
Dark Angel colt. Dam unraced half-sister to winner up to 6f Fairyland and 7f/1m winner Now Or Never (both smart). Newcomer from a top stable and would need considering should the betting suggest he's fancied.

Harry Angel half-brother to 5f/6f winner Olympic Eagle and 8.6f winner Olympic Quest. A debutant to monitor in the betting.

11/8
Third on C&D debut in July and second at Kempton (6f) again 2 months later. Has gone off a well-backed favourite on both occasions, suggesting he's thought capable of even better. Bold show likely.

40/1
£35,000 Tamayuz colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Styledome. The market should help guide to expectations with this one.
|
Timeform
Plenty to like about his second of 10 on 6f Ascot debut (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago, just failing. Should improve and go well again

150/1
Ardad half-brother to several winners, including smart 1m-1½m winner Robin Hoods Bay and 2-y-o 6f winner Turbo Spirit. Stable not really known for first-time-out winners but worth a precautionary betting check
|
Timeform
Modest form at best in 2 runs. Outsider here.

2,000 gns Expert Eye filly. Half-sister to 6f-7f winner Thursday's Child. Not an obvious one but the stable has popped up with a long-priced 2-y-o winner here before.

Forecasts

I Maximus (11/8), Spirit Of Farhh (7/2), Fire Flame (6/1), Almeraq (13/2), Fast Track Harry (9/1), Curzon (12/1), Charmoula (18/1), Panama Black (40/1), Phaedra (100/1), Gesundheit (100/1), Eazy On The Eye (125/1), Summer Rain (150/1), Dragonfly In Amber (150/1)

Verdict

I MAXIMUS has let favourite backers down on a couple of occasions but there were still signs of greenness at Kempton and this evidently well-regarded colt is given one more chance. Spirit of Farhh rates an obvious danger after his promising opening effort at Ascot a fortnight ago. Fire Flame is another who looks capable of better, while Almeraq and Fast Track Harry are newcomers to monitor in the betting.
