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.

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.
