3/1

Sergei Prokofiev gelding who has shaped with promise when third in a pair of 7f novices at Lingfield and Kempton this year. Entitled to progress further. Well in the mix.

11/10

15/2, encouraging third of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) on his debut 10 months ago. This Iffraaj colt should still take a step forward.

Promising Cotai Glory gelding. 15/2, third of 5 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on his debut 24 days ago, despite being very slowly away. Open to improvement.

18/1

Dawn Approach gelding who went backwards from a C&D debut second when only seventh of 9 in 1m novice here 25 days ago. Raced too freely there though so not dismissed dropping back in trip.

Supreme Lillia¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Rowan Scott| T: G Tutty

£15,000 yearling, Oasis Dream filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Snoano and 6f-7f winner Tulip Dress. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Sparkling Beam. Betting can prove an accurate indicator for this debutante.

Forecasts

Blue Mantle (11/10), Clonquest (5/2), Portman Blue (3/1), Cotai Eye Joe (4/1), Supreme Lillia (11/2), Henry Halflight (18/1), Kode Grey (25/1), Wheres Veneker (50/1), Shimmering Spirit (50/1), Wagyu Star (100/1), Tekitoff (125/1), Wee Dresser (150/1)

CLONQUEST has gone with promise when twice placed over C&D and can get off the mark at the chief expense of Portman Blue, who also looks to have better days ahead of him. Cotai Eye Joe and Supreme Lillia should also take a step forward and rate the pick of the rest.
