Selected odds by:
135,000gns yearling; major improvement when dropped back to 6f for his second start, beating the Richard Hannon-trained Cheat by 3½L (Salisbury, good to soft); rates as the clear form pick, so should take the beating despite a 6lb penalty.
€110,000 yearling; eighth foal from a 6f winning dam (Evening Time); half-brother to seven winners including Penny Pepper (6f-7f, Group 3); a newcomer of note in the King Power Racing Co silks.
160,000gns yearling; half-brother to the 6f-7f winner Society Power; low-key on the track so far, taking only a small step forward at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month; may need more time.
€17,000 yearling; slowly away and soon struggling at odds of 100-1 on Haydock (6f, good to firm) debut last month.
€17,000 yearling; third foal from an unraced dam who was a half-sister to the 1m2f Listed winner Mountain; will probably need this initial racecourse experience.
Ninth foal; home-bred by Lethal Force out of a sister to the Coventry Stakes winner Cd Europe; half-brother to three winners, including Magistral (1m).
45,000gns foal; from a moderate dam who was a half-sister to a couple of winners, most notably Disclosure (6f-1m½f); was twice declared to make his debut last month, at Haydock (8th) and Carlisle (21st).
Eighth foal; half-brother to three winners, including the smart sprinter Waffle (5f); started at odds of 100-1 on debut at Carlisle (6f, good to soft), dwelling and finishing last of 11 to Amaysmont.
Fifth foal; home-bred half-brother to Ralphy Boy (5f-1m) and Vicky Valentine (1m2f-1m4f); slowly into stride and always in rear on debut at Catterick (5f, good) last week; an unlikely candidate.
Tagula gelding from a moderate maiden (6f-7f); first foal; £2,500 yearling; broadly unappealing stablemate of Noble Dawn.
€50,000 foal, £80,000 yearling; third foal; half-brother to two winners, most notably Migration (1m-1m2f); showed pace until weakening from the two furlong pole on debut at Ayr (6f, good to soft) in July; that was a fair contest; can do better.
40,000gns yearling; 50-1 and cut no ice on debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; has since left the care of Paul George; debut for Ben Haslam.
42,000gns yearling; third foal from a French Listed placed dam (7f-1m); half-sister to the winning dual purpose horse Nylon Speed (1m3f-2m); on paper is certainly preferable to stablemate Ochre Riu.
Half-sister to the 5f AW winner Dream Revival; 66-1, always outpaced in rear and seemingly knew little of the job in hand when down the field on debut at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) just over a fortnight ago.
Forecasts
Ascension (2/7), Art Power (17/2), Panist (10/1), Gravity Force (12/1), Aysar (18/1), Noble Dawn (25/1), Apples Acre (33/1), El Jefe (40/1), Ochre Riu (50/1), Full House (66/1), Max L (66/1), Captain Corelli (80/1), Jems Bond (150/1), Somekindasuperstar (150/1)
ASCENSION took a significant step forward when dropped to this trip at Salisbury, and can defy a 6lb penalty in a race where viable alternatives are very few and far between. Art Power (Tim Easterby) and Gravity Force (Karl Burke) are mildly interesting newcomers, although in both cases it should be noted that this race is effectively plan 'b' or 'c', with the former switching here from Wednesday's abandoned Hamilton fixture. The only other runner worth a positive mention in the context of this race is the John Dance-owned Panist who contested an above average race (showed speed) on debut at Ayr in July.
