Venetian Lion⁷

18/1

Failed to build on debut when ninth of 10 in maiden at Redcar (1m) 7 days ago. This St Mark's Basilica colt is worth another chance.

Rajiba²⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tyler Heard| T: R Hughes

22/1

12/1, encouraging fourth of 8 in novice here (6f) on debut 6 months ago. Significantly up in trip and open to improvement.

Forecasts

Al Qatem (4/5), Hungarian (9/2), Ramli (11/2), Hozam (11/2), Mithridates (10/1), Venetian Lion (18/1), Rajiba (22/1), Kaiko (33/1), Golden Buddy (40/1), Minerality (125/1), Rua Mor (150/1)

The market should reveal plenty here but the vote goes to HOZAM who is bred to be well above average and hails from a yard among the winners. Hungarian rates the pick of those with experience and could prove the chief threat to George Boughey's unraced son of Hello Youmzain with fellow debutants Mithridates and Al Qatem also in the mix.
