Barrister¹⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mathers| T: Miss Tracy Waggott

200/1

Attention now switches to the Flat although he's hard to recommend on the back of his one bumper run at Wetherby when he was beaten 98L and finished last.

Showroom²⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

30/100

Just the one run as a juvenile and made an encouraging start to his career (good pedigree) when winning by 5L at Goodwood. Still holds a Group 2 entry and despite his penalty he's of interest here stepped up in trip.

Form: 1-

Velvet Vision⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽³⁾| T: M H Tompkins| D

16/1

Confirmed the promise that she showed on debut over this trip on the AW and now makes her turf debut. Her last win came in a slowly-run affair and she will be seen to better effect in a truly run race; still has potential.

Form: 21

(7)

Ice Pyramid

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor

3/1

Cost 130,000 guineas as a yearling and represents powerful connections, Half-brother to French 6f winner and should get into the picture although the trainer has an underwhelming record here.

Approaching Menace¹⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Lemos De Souza| T: Miss A Murphy

200/1

Makes little appeal now switched to turf having had a couple of very poor AW runs and beaten a long way on both occasions.

Form: 9-7

Kissesforeveryone

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Crook

125/1

Dam was a useful 1m winner but the yard are hardly known for producing debut winners and she can only be watched.

Form:

(6)

Vampish¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: P J McBride

28/1

Nothing to shout about on debut but improved on that effort with a 4th of five at Ripon not beaten that far. Left behind in the end by the principals and will make some appeal in handicaps once she gets a mark.

Form: 04

Forecasts

Showroom (30/100), Ice Pyramid (3/1), Velvet Vision (16/1), Vampish (28/1), Kissesforeveryone (125/1), Approaching Menace (200/1), Barrister (200/1)

The win of SHOWROOM on his debut and the fact that he’s still entered in a Group 2 suggests that a lot more is expected from him and he should be able to take this on the way to better things. This is a better race than the one that Velvet Vision won last time but she’s still respected with newcomer Ice Pyramid and Vampish two others who can make their mark with the latter one to note for handicaps later on.
