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.

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.

Won on soft as 2yo; reappearance win last April saw him pitched afterwards into Listed and Group events, in which he was initially on the premises but his handicap mark shot up as a result; ninth of 12 to Respond at Chester wasn't a greatly auspicious return to handicap company on reappearance this season and connections now reach for headgear.

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.

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.
