1/4

Siyouni colt who went from strength-to-strength at 2yrs, off the mark at this attempt at Longchamp in October prior to an excellent second in Saint-Cloud Group 1 later that month. This looks a good opening on return with big targets on his agenda in due course.

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. 33/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in maiden at this course (10.7f) 37 days ago. Back down in trip. Hard to fancy.

Titanium Emperor

4/1

220,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder colt. Closely related to very smart 1m-9f winner My Oberon and half-brother to high-class 1m-1¼m winner My Prospero and smart 1m-1¼m winner My Astra. Loads to like on paper and interesting connections pitch him in here on debut.

25/1

Hello Youmzain filly who confirmed promise of previous run when opening her account in a C&D maiden in January. However, this demands further progress and handicaps entitled to prove more suitable.

Spicy Margarita²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A Murray| C

12/1

Twice-raced winner. Won 13-runner maiden (7/2) at this course (7f) 23 days ago, well on top finish. Return to 1m won't be an issue and she remains open to improvement but this demands a whole lot more if she's to come out on top.

MOUNT KILIMANJARO progressed with each outing as a 2-y-o, signing off with an excellent second in a French Group 1 in the autumn, and he's tough to oppose on this return to action with further progress distinctly possible. Titanium Emperor makes plenty of appeal on paper, and along with stablemate Spicy Margarita, can do battle for minor honours.
