Well held sixth of seven when making his debut at Haydock (7f, good-to-firm) earlier this month. Others make more appeal.
Unraced gelded son of Zoffany bought for €20,000 as a yearling last September. Half-brother to a couple of winners and worth a check in the market on debut.
Signs of ability in two starts so far including when fifth in a 7f contest at York (good-to-soft) a month ago. Interesting to see how he fares.
Held up prior to finishing sixth in a 6f novice contest at Thirsk (good-to-soft) when debuting last week. Step up in distance in his favour.
Well held on both starts to date most recently over 5f on good ground here earlier this month. Probably best watched stepping up in distance.
Beaten 3¾L when finishing fifth in an AW novice event over 6f at Newcastle on debut earlier this month. More needed stepping up in distance.
Shaped as if he'd improve for the experience when finishing fifth of six in a 7f novice contest at Catterick (good-to-firm) on debut just under three weeks ago. Worth a check in the market.
Unraced gelded son of Footstepsinthesand bought for £3,500 at the sales 12 months ago. Dam well held on only start and yard 0/21 with their juveniles this term.
Winner of a seller over 6f at Ripon (good) last month. Placed on both starts since joining this yard including over this trip on his penultimate outing. One to note in this contest.
Unraced daughter of Toronado bought for 17,000 gns earlier this year. Half-sister to a couple of middle-distance winners and likely to appreciate further in time.

Conundrum (2/1), Eesha's Smile (7/2), Smart Illusion (4/1), Archies Lad (9/2), Siege (6/1), The Big Bad (10/1), Ollivander (11/1), George's Law (14/1), Castle Quarter (20/1), Siriusly Quick (50/1), Haggswood Boy (100/1)
THE BIG BAD has run well on both starts since joining this yard and he can register a second career victory in this 11 runner novice contest. The selection should appreciate this trip and can get the better of newcomer Eesha's Smile who represents a top yard here while third can go to Siege who should have improved for his debut fifth.
