6/4
10/3, won 8-runner novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 26 days ago, showing some inexperience along the way but picking up to really good effect to come from last to first in a race not run at a strong pace. Useful prospect.

Stepped up on her debut when winning 7f Chester maiden (good) 16 days ago, well on top at the finish. Appeals as the type to keep on progressing for top yard.

Has shown ability over 6f/7f at Doncaster in recent weeks but looks more one for handicaps later on.

Churchill gelding who hinted at ability in 2 outings last summer but is likely more one for handicaps after this.

5/1
11/1 and tongue tied, offered something to work on when seventh of 14 in novice at Southwell (7f) on debut in November. Has been gelded. Should have more to offer.

Bated Breath gelding. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. This newcomer is best watched unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

25/1
£150,000 2-y-o who was a promising third of 8 in novice at Southwell (7f) on debut last September. Looked open to improvement but the fact she was allowed to leave Jamie Osborne's yard for only 7,000 gns this spring is a bit of a concern.

Century Dream filly. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner). Yard not a regular source of first-time-out winners.

Forecasts

Machadadorp (10/11), Crossbar (6/4), Rogue Invincible (5/1), Tago Mago (25/1), Blue Icon (50/1), Invaluable Eye (50/1), Whatever Bruce (66/1), Our Randolph (80/1), Hawksworth (100/1), Twin And Tonic (150/1), Retro Rocket (300/1)

Verdict

This seems likely to develop into a straight fight between previous winners MACHADADORP and Crossbar, with a narrow preference for the former. Rogue Invincible is open to progress on the back of last year's debut and may prove best of the remainder.
