Strong 3/1 for recent Chepstow debut, led at halfway and always in command afterwards to win with bit in hand. Any first time out winner from this stable is usually above average and obvious claims despite the penalty.
40/1 on recent Lingfield debut but showed nothing in rear throughout and finished last of seven. Will need to make rapid improvement in short space of time to play a part.
Ayr debut is working out and took a step forward when going from the front at Newbury on second start and only giving best to a horse who was making it two from two. Sure to figure in a much weaker contest.
11,000 gns foal. Half-brother to winners from 6f to 2m and dam was a winner at 1m2f. Rare Flat runner for this stable and only of interest if market speaks in his favour.
Weak 25/1 shot on AW debut at this trip last month. Showed little when eighth of 11 and although a couple from that race have franked the form, likely he needs more time and distance.
Forecasts
Malvern (4/7), Cotai Again (2/1), Miarka (8/1), Global Agreement (33/1), Billesdon (66/1)
Only two to concentrate on form to date and the previous winner MALVERN narrowly gets the vote to maintain his unbeaten record over Cotai Again who stepped up on debut effort at Newbury last time. Miarka seems best of the rest though his debut run leaves him a good bit to find.
