9/1, encouraging fourth of 11 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut 22 days ago. This son of Havana Grey can improve.

6/1, slowly away when a never-dangerous fourth of 6 in maiden over C&D on debut 45 days ago. This Persian King colt can do better in due course.

7/2
11/1 and blinkered, made a promising start when third of 7 in maiden at Lingfield (7f) 21 days ago, not ideally placed in a steadily-run race. This Starman gelding seems sure to improve. Player.

Starman colt shaped well when a debut second in 5f maiden at Thirsk. Had the worst of the draw when sixth in 6f Chester novice later last May. Off since but he remains with potential.

Progressive Time Test gelding who came in a very good second of 11 in 6f maiden at Chelmsford City in October. Not discounted despite a 169-day break.

Frosted gelding. Promising debut second in 6f Kempton novice but not best drawn when seventh in C&D maiden later in November. Off 144 days but can go well.

8/1
Failed to build on Chelmsford debut third when occupying same position in 6f maiden at Newcastle 6 months ago. Needs to bounce back after a lay-off.

7,000 gns yearling, Mayson filly. Half-sister to 7f/1m winner Bake and 5f winner Doddie's Impact. Dam unraced. The market can guide for this newcomer.

Forecasts

Afton Down (11/10), Scheffler (7/2), Hamda's Joy (8/1), Goldenstateofmind (17/2), Hallandale Beach (10/1), Cool Doc Boy (11/1), Sargent Dennis (20/1), Kiani King (25/1), Mayflower Rock (66/1)

Verdict

SCHEFFLER wasn't best placed but shaped well when when third on debut at Lingfield and he can build on that here for his in-form yard to get off the mark. Cool Doc Boy has an absence to overcome but could emerge as the main danger ahead of Afton Down and Hamda's Joy.
