Dartmouth Jet¹⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: J Mackie

150/1

Made a winning debut in a Worcester bumper (2m) back in September (fair form) and ran to similar level when third of 5 at Ascot on next start in that sphere. Struggled to land a blow when sixth of 9 in novice at this course (11f) on flat bow in November and is probably one for handicaps.

Kenneth³⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| BF

8/11

From an outstanding family for these connections and he shaped well despite inexperience when runner-up to subsequent Group 3 winner Furthur in a 7-runner Newbury maiden on debut just over a year ago. Off the track since (has been gelded) but remains a fine prospect if none the worse for absence.

Ramli²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: K S McHugh⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Littmoden

80/1

£20,000 Frankel 3-y-o. Has a smart Flat pedigree and shaped quite well from off the pace in a modestly-run 8-runner bumper at Huntingdon (2m) 3 weeks ago for Michael Keady but more surely needed switched now taking on some potentially smart rivals.

Birgham Dub²⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

4/1

Fetched €240,000 as a yearling and justified support when making a successful debut in a 7-runner maiden at Haydock (7f, good to firm) in July, doing well to come from last to first in a slowly-run race. Off the track since but open to improvement stepping up markedly in trip,

Chasing Time²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: C Appleby| D

15/8

Son of Sea The Stars was already gelded when overcoming greenness to make a winning start in a 3-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (1½m, 4/5) on debut 21 days ago. Well on top at the finish there and he's sure to progress.

Form: 1

Florentine Law¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: George Wood| T: M L W Bell

40/1

Study of Man colt cost 170,000 gns as a yearling but was green throughout when fourth in a 5-runner novice at Yarmouth (1¼m, good) on debut 14 days ago.

Form: 4

Peat And Diesel

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Dylan Hogan| T: James Horton

80/1

Flag of Honour gelding. Dam ran once in bumper. Far from an obvious type to make a winning start in a hot race.

Temple¹⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Sorin Moldoveanu⁽⁷⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

25/1

Wootton Bassett colt who reached 575,000 gns as a yearling. Too green to show anything on debut but was more professional next time up when third of 9 in a maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, soft, 14/1) in October. Dam progressed well at 3 yrs and he'll improve this season as his stamina is drawn out.

Kenneth (8/11), Chasing Time (15/8), Birgham Dub (4/1), Temple (25/1), Florentine Law (40/1), Ramli (80/1), Peat And Diesel (80/1), Dartmouth Jet (150/1)

It took a Group-class rival to deny the regally-bred KENNETH a winning debut and he should take the beating if retaining all ability after more than a year off the track. Chasing Time did well to overcome inexperience to make a successful start at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and can pose a threat along with Birgham Dub, who made an impressive start to win at Haydock last summer.
