5/1
Looked a good prospect when making a winning start at Ayr in September and just unable to fend off a tough one from a top yard in 7-runner similar event there (8f, good) the following month. Remains open to improvement on return so he's one for the shortlist.

Much improved from debut when won 9-runner maiden at Southwell (8.1f, 5/2) 7 weeks ago, finding plenty to lead line after outpaced under 3f out. Will go on improving (bred to be smart) and will have plenty more to offer in a truly-run affair.

5/4
Dubawi colt who created a good impression in making a winning start in 12-runner maiden (9/4) at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) in October. Hood on for reappearance and he's another open to improvement for leading connections.

15/8
Found one too good for the third race in succession in 8-runner maiden at this C&D (heavy) 6 months ago, just a bit unfortunate to run into such a promising newcomer but pulling long way clear of rest. First run for yard after leaving Sir Michael Stoute and can go one better.

50/1, shaped as if he needed the run ninth of 11 in maiden at Doncaster (8f, good) on debut 7 months ago. Likely to improve.

Forecasts

Secret Theory (5/4), Archivist (15/8), Hornsea Bay (5/1), Run With It (14/1), Mister Winston (18/1)

Verdict

Cases can be made for all the quintet, but preference is for ARCHIVIST, who has found just one too strong on all 3 starts since his debut and has joined the powerful William Haggas yard ahead of his return. Secret Theory heads up the dangers having made a winning start in a back-end Newmarket maiden last year, with Hornsea Bay taken to edge out Run With It for minor honours.
