T: Ralph Beckett

Pushed Eclipse winner Delacroix close in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) last October and ran a fine race when fifth in the Derby (1m4f, good) last month, losing two places close home; appeals as a type whose best days still lie ahead and this trip could be ideal.

Dam's winning siblings include Romsdal, placed in the Derby and St Leger; dug in late for a promising third to Ruling Court on Sandown 7f debut as 2yo and ended the season by making Delacroix pull out most of the stops in a Newmarket Group 3 (1m, good to soft); had a gift of a reappearance at Salisbury recently but if he's made the same progress over the winter as some of his rivals he'd be on the premises.

Delivered on debut promise when eased-down winner of Beverley maiden (7.4f, good to firm) last summer and was close second to subsequent Group 1 Futurity second Delacroix in Newmarket Group 3 (1m, good to soft) in the autumn; holds multiple Group 1 entries for the season ahead and ought to be very hard to beat here.

Excellent pedigree and chased home the odds-on favourite (who had made a promising debut) at Beverley (extended 7f, good to firm) nine days ago, pulling a long way clear of the third; that was a nice start and he's bred to improve with his racing.

Won a Catterick novice (7f, good to firm) last May but has form figures of 90660000 in handicaps since; has tumbled down the weights but he's failed to beat a rival in his last four starts including when prominent in the market at Redcar two weeks ago; lots to prove back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Slowly away and beaten about 7l when sixth of ten on last month's debut at Epsom (7f, good; 14-1), and the dam's side of his pedigree suggests he'll need further; however, the form of that Epsom race has worked out well and he could be sharper today; possible player.

Ended last season with a novice win at Brighton (1m, soft) and he started this one with an emphatic win on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good); respectable efforts when highly tried in Group 3/Listed events in his last three runs but he's not made a major impact and needs to find more improvement.

Polytrack winner for Sir Mark Prescott in January; two good runs to start off his time with Joseph Parr and he took a step forward when seeing off seven rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good) ten days ago; this is tougher under a penalty but he did well to overcome a slow start last time and he's still unexposed on turf; respected.

Refused to enter stalls on latest intended run; twice beaten at short prices for new connections, having been picked up from the Prescott yard for 32,000gns in February; not much wrong with either effort, though, and he's considered on just his second turf start.

Has an attractive pedigree and is in top hands; his inexperience was evident on last month's debut over C&D (good to firm) and he's one to watch in the betting on this second start, but he was well beaten and needs to be an entirely different proposition this afternoon.

Dam 5f-7f winner (RPR 69); trainer's 2yos often need their debut runs but he was soundly beaten at 66-1 at Catterick (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago on his first start and others have far more compelling credentials.
