Horse silk
12/1
Has a pedigree that suggests he'll need further and his debut run was just an educational one over 6f at Newbury. Could well come on for that run but unlikely to be seen at his best until he tackles further.

Wasn't cheap as he cost £85,000 as yearling but he was badly in need of the experience when beating just one home at York over 6f on quicker ground than he will face here.

7/1
Trainer has had a very limited number of juvenile runners this year (1/3 so far) and this one looks on pedigree as though he may need a little further.

(6)
Horse silk
14/1
Cost 210,000 guineas from the Craven Breeze-Up Sales in April and makes his debut here for a yard that are going well with their juveniles this year. There looks to be a fair bit of stamina in his pedigree being a half-brother to a 1m2f winner and out of a dam who stayed a mile.

(11)
Horse silk
33/1
Started off over 7f which looked a trip that he would need given his pedigree so it's a surprise to see him back over 6f here. Hinted at some ability on his debut but ran green and may still need the experience here.

7/2
His first effort looked to be a promising one with only his inexperience holding him back on his initial run at Ascot (learnt through the race). Looks sure to progress in the future although he might need 7f+ to do so with this 6f trip looking a little sharp.

Horse silk
100/1
Patently failed to progress from his debut run at Newbury last time out when the soft ground may not have suited and if that was the case then he could struggle again here.

(12)
Horse silk
5/4
Trainer had a debut two-year-old winner at Sandown already this week showing his juveniles are in order and this one should move forward from his debut at Doncaster. That looked to be a very promising first effort (travelled well) and he's another who looks as though he'll be suited by 7f+ in the future.

Stormy Sand21

50/1
Price rose to €40,000 as a yearling but he showed very little on his debut finishing last over 7f on the AW at Chelmsford although he was hampered at the start.

Yaafour14
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon
8/1
Like many from this stable he improved from his debut run when making the frame over 7f here in July and now steps back to 6f for his third run. Should have the edge in experience on some of these but others may have more improvement.

(13)
Horse silk
33/1
Half-sister to numerous winners including the smart Donativum (won up to a mile) while the dam was a juvenile 6f winner. One of two runners in this race for the stable although this experience may be needed for this one.
13
(7)
Horse silk
66/1
Half-sister to several winners including juvenile 5f winner Percy Alleline with the dam also a winner as a juvenile over 5f. She makes some appeal but the yard are yet to have a juvenile winner so far this year (0/10).

18:40 Newmarket - 28 July 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

This should be an informative race with the standard very much being set by NOBLEMAN'S NEST who was only touched off narrowly on his debut. Yaafour has to be respected given his run here last time out with Mankind another to note. Of the newcomers Desert Mountain and Exprompt are the two to note given their pedigrees and background.
  1. Nobleman's Nest
  2. Mankind
  3. Yaafour
