Ten Sovereigns colt who offered something to work on when second of 10 in novice at Windsor (5f, good to firm) on debut last month, not knocked about. Step up to 6f looks a good move and he should improve.

Calyx colt who shaped promisingly when fourth of 13 in maiden at Windsor (5f, good to firm) on debut last month, running on late. Sure to be suited by this step up to 6f and looks bound to improve on that initial effort.

Forecasts

Minster Boy (2/1), My Boo Boo (3/1), Desert Legend (7/2), Beresford Gap (11/1), Old Oak (12/1), Wolf Bay (16/1), He's Readytorumble (16/1), Mirzimaan (20/1), Macau (25/1), Gambling Man (28/1), Ard As A Rock (33/1), Aljoon (33/1), Its A Ginger Thing (33/1), Banged Up (33/1), Zambezi Shark (40/1), Webster (50/1), God Of Titans (100/1), Silent Sadhu (150/1), Ten Of Clubs (150/1)

Verdict

A huge field for this valuable novice. Preference is for DESERT LEGEND, who showed plenty to work on first time up when third at Windsor recently and with improvement on the cards, Richard Hannon's colt gets the nod to go a couple of places better. This step up to 6f will suit Minster Boy, so he rates a significant threat, while Old Oak, Wolf Bay and Banged Up look debutants to note and the market should be a decent guide to their chances.
