Sixties Icon gelding who caught the eye under a considerate ride when fourth of 10 on his belated debut at Wolverhampton in December. That form looks solid and he likely remains capable of better over this longer trip.

Green when runner-up here on debut but could only match that form when third of 10 at Wolverhampton in November, and she'll need to improve for the marked step up in distance.

Nibbled at in the betting but only showed greenness when seventh of 8 in a novice at Bath (1¼m, good) on debut, and he'll need to improve markedly.

Filled the same position as on debut when runner-up on his return here last time, though he'd surely have won had he not hung badly right, and this well-related individual is certainly capable of making it third time lucky.

10,000 gns yearling, Time Test gelding. Half-brother to 1m-11f winner Sea Spray. Dam, 1¼m-1½m winner who stayed 1¾m, half-sister to useful 1m winner Keep Me Company. Inexpensive purchase makes only limited appeal ahead of his racecourse bow.

Khalifa Sat colt was much better for his debut run and a breathing operation when fourth of 8 in a novice at Kempton (1m, 20/1) in early-December. Tongue strap goes on and he's open to improvement over this significantly longer trip.

Stepped forward from his debut when runner-up to a good prospect at Bath last October. Looks the type to benefit from a gelding operation and there could be better to come now tackling middle distances.

Went in snatches when well beaten on debut at Ripon and while he needs to leave that form well behind, the switch to a more conventional track should at least benefit.

Forecasts

Pure Moon (4/7), Heroics (7/2), Al Za'ama (15/2), Moonrunner (11/1), Too Farhh Gone (12/1), Chilli King (25/1), Picaro (28/1), Alkaios (100/1)

Verdict

PURE MOON did well to finish as close as he did when second at this track on return and may go one better, provided he proves more tractable. Heroics chased home a subsequent winner at Bath and makes appeal upped to a trip more in keeping with his pedigree, while Moonrunner is entitled to improve from his promising debut.
