Selected odds by:
Last of 13 in a bumper before better efforts in novice contests at this venue. Wears cheekpieces for the first time, but is likely to find several of these rivals too strong.
Third of 13 on debut when trained by Andre Fabre in France, but cut little ice on first start for current handler when sent to Newcastle for a 1m maiden. Plenty more to do fitted with a hood for the first time.
Son of Oasis Dream who cost 180,000 gns as a yearling, but was snapped up for 7,000 gns at Newmarket sales last month. No show on debut for Ed Vaughan at this venue last May and makes first appearance for current trainer after being gelded.
Kodiac gelding who cost 24,000 gns as a yearling and is from the family of a Group 1-winning filly. Nice pedigree, but trainer tends to bring along his horses slowly so he is one to watch on racecourse bow.
Promise on both starts at Kempton and Southwell. Likely to do better as he gains experience, but looks vulnerable in this unless able to take a big step forward.
Gelded son of invincible Spirit who cost €200,000 as a yearling and is from a talented family which includes the high-class Cassandra Go. Well worth a check in the market as he makes his racecourse debut..
Siyouni geding who cost €100,000 as a two-year-old is a half-brother to a couple of winners in France. Not disgraced when 3L fifth of eight on debut on the AW at Chantilly last month and is open to improvement.
Mazameer gelding out of an unraced Kyllachy mare. Best watched on debut unless the market speaks in his favour.
Son of No Nay Never who was purchased for 110,000gns as a yearling and is from the family of Dewhurst Stakes winner Distant Music. Down the field on Newmarket debut in November, but has been gelded and is probably capable of much better.
Has hit the crossbar three times in four runs, including when long odds-on over 1m at this track at the beginning of this month. Top trainer reaches for cheekpieces, but he is not one to take a short price about, especially given his wide draw.
Ordinary form in novice/handicap contests. Surprising if she is good enough to win this from the widest stall of all.
Stepped up on Newmarket debut when second of 11 at Goodwood in August. Off the track since, but looks to have been found a good opening on her debut at three.
Not beaten too far on latest of two starts at Kempton (5f). Should be happier over longer trips, but looks one for handicaps in due course.
Forecasts
Rux Power (1/1), White Coat (13/8), Highest Mountain (8/1), Creek Island (10/1), Global Gift (20/1), Onebaba (25/1), Broughtons Bear (50/1), Take It Down Under (66/1), Star Of Valour (66/1), Sarsaparilla Kit (66/1), I'm British (100/1), Miss Communicate (100/1), Mazmerize (125/1)
White Coat has the ability to win this, but is becoming frustrating and his wide draw is another reason to oppose him. Ready preference is for RUX POWER, who showed plenty of promise as a juvenile and will not need to have improved too much over the winter to take this. Most of the others look to have their limitations, but Onebaba, Creek Island and the debutant Global Gift are worth keeping an eye on.
