Form & Verdict
Gelded prior to running well at Southwell (1m3f, AW) on reappearance, beating all bar an odds-on Godolphin newcomer; helps to set the standard back on turf and delaying the handicap route for which he's now qualified.

Disappointed as favourite in a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket last month but his earlier Doncaster win (1m2f, good to soft) was encouraging; promise on AW in February; should stay 1m4f and he is not fully exposed just yet; Karl Burke is also responsible for Galilean Quality.

Markedly better this season when second at Southwell (1m3f, AW) and winning from the front in a maiden at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft); has a competitive mark for this handicap debut and he'll be staying on.

Derby entry who finished nicely for eye-catching second of seven, best of the newcomers, in autumn contest at Newmarket (1m, good); should be well suited by middle distances this year; high in calculations.

Didn't look straightforward when the race got serious on last two outings but he was nevertheless better at keeping a straight line when cheekpieces were enlisted for six-runner maiden at Sandown (1m2f, good) last time and stuck his neck out well to win by 1l; some improvement is probably needed going handicapping but he has to be considered seriously in this small field.

J: Tom Marquand

T: Andrew Balding

Comes with some risk having looked far from straightforward under pressure at Newmarket last time, albeit was perhaps partly unsuited by the track and either way may be aided by first-time headgear today; has shown consistent promise otherwise and holds particularly strong claims on penultimate effort, namely third in above-average maiden at Newbury (1m2f, good) that has worked out well.

Runner-up here (1m, good) last October on sole 2yo start and he's run well in third on both outings this season (1m2f/1m3f, good to soft/good); he needs something extra today but can give another good account.

Placed in maidens at York (7f/1m, good) last term; came off a true line both times and ideally needs to learn to keep straighter; otherwise a major contender on form and will stay middle distances if taking after his sire.

Considerable promise when placed at York last autumn on his two 2yo starts (7f/1m, good); disappointing on reappearance at Doncaster in March (1m2f, good to soft; hung badly right) but gelded since and wears first-time blinkers; key player if rediscovering last season's promise.

Closely related to current 3yo 7f/1m winner Zeus Olympios (including Group 2; RPR 121); 50-1 for maiden here (7f, good) five weeks ago but finished second of nine and might have won it but for some serious wandering under pressure; some straightening out is required but, overall, that was a highly promising debut.

Form & Verdict
Beaten just over 5l, over 1m, in both 2yo runs; has something to find on bare form and may be more interesting in handicaps soon but is bred to improve for the new trip, being by Sea The Stars out of a 1m2f winner.

Best effort when third of 11 on handicap debut at Thirsk (1m4f, good; first start since being gelded) last month; drop in trip may be no bad thing and cheekpieces are given a go; shortlisted.

Didn't live up to market expectations in two juvenile runs and was tailed off on his reappearance here (1m2f, good to soft) in March; been gelded since and now goes handicapping but he needs a transformation on this step up to 1m4f.
