Out of multiple Group 1 winner Laurens and made a winning debut in 11-runner maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 13/2) earlier this year, leading final 100 yds and well on top finish. In very good hands and likely he can do better again. Gelded since first outing.

4/5

Upped his game (gelded since previous run) in first-time hood, when excellent second of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 59 days ago. Ought to appreciate this longer trip and looks the one to beat on tapeta debut.

Forecasts

Ultrasoul (4/5), First Ambition (3/1), Great Dream (6/1), Livonian (7/1), Lord Montague (8/1), Susie Sioux (14/1), Into Combat (20/1), Concert Party (66/1), The Grand (80/1), Alfred Spero (100/1), Military Leader (150/1), Zucayan (150/1), Our Misty Blue (250/1), Omon Vase (300/1)

This can go to ULTRASOUL, who found improvement when runner-up on his return at Lingfield in June and sets the standard on that form. The well-bred First Ambition looks a potential improver and is feared most, whilst Lord Montague should also go well.
