Selected odds by:
Considering he missed the break last time out and hung badly in the home straight, he should have learned plenty from that and he did well to finish fourth. Hard to know what that form is worth but progress expected.
Ran with credit before tiring late on, on debut. His rivals that day haven't done much for the form and he has a wide draw to contend with so others make more appeal.
Best run came over C&D when third of 12 two starts back but that sets quite a low benchmark in what looks like a strong maiden.
Last of 12 in good Newmarket maiden. Showed some promise in the early stages and not ruled out if building on that but has a sizable break to over come.
Wears a hood on debut and trainers debutantes usually need their first outing.
Represents top connections and pedigree suggests he will enjoy this tapeta surface. Wide draw to contend with but any market support would be significant.
While he was an expensive purchase, trainers newcomers usually need their first run and wide draw makes things tougher. Market should guide.
Disappointing favourite on debut but that market support is interesting and there's a good chance he can gain compensation here.
Trainer not in the best of form but he does have a 26% strike rate with this jockey and any market move for the debutante should be noted.
Trip looks about right and it would be no suprise if he took to this surface on pedigree. Sold for €65,000 as a 2-y-o and trainer is flying form so should be interesting to see what the market makes of him.
Ran well in what looked like a hot Newcastle maiden (third has won since) and bought for 100,000 Gns. May have done too much too soon on debut and should have learned plenty from that. Could be the one to beat.

MOUNTAIN ANGEL contested what's likely to turn out to be a hot maiden at Newcastle and debut and he should have learned plenty from that run. Ahead of Time and Fear the Fury were both well backed on debut and that could be a clue to their ability. Kencumin, Basheer and Invincible Man all make plenty of appeal on pedigree.
