Selected odds by:
Kodiac colt whose dam was a winner over 6f as a juvenile and is full-sister to Group 1 6f winner Elusive City. Yard doing well with handful of runners of late (2-5) so could go nicely on debut.
Home bred Brazen Beau gelding; dam won over 7f. Yard in good form at present so worth a check for any market interest on racecourse bow.
£800 Equiano gelding whose dam won over this trip. Doesn't jump off page on pedigree, and yard's newcomers usually better for a few runs.
260,000 euro Dabirsim colt, half-brother to three fair winners at up to 1m2f. Yard has 26% strike rate with its juveniles at this track so certainly worthy of some consideration.
160,000 euro Gleneagles colt who is half-brother to three decent sprinters. Bred to be decent but yard's newcomers usually improve for their first experience so may need more time, unless market indicates otherwise.
Havana Gold colt whose sale price dropped from 55,000 as a foal to just 18,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to high-class staying hurdler Penhill so will do well to be sharp enough to score at this trip first time out.
Invincible Spirit colt out of Irish 1000 Guineas runner-up. Appeals on pedigree and record-breaking yard still in decent form. No surprise to see him run a good race on debut.
Runner-up both starts so far showing decent level of form but has been beaten favourite on each occasion. Possibly caught a tartar when beaten six lengths at Chelmsford last time but experience wil help and he should be thereabouts.
Canford Cliffs half-brother to useful sprinter Perfect Pasture. Has run well both starts so far finishing third at Pontefract on debut then over C&D last time. May again find a few too good here but should win his share of races in due course.
Showcasing gelding cost 60,000 guineas. Dam won over 1m4f so may well find things happening a bit quick for him on debut. Yard had fine season but having few runners now.
40,000 guineas Free Eagle filly whose unraced dam is half-sister to a Group 3 winner. Yard capable of getting one ready so worth a market check for signs of confidence on first racecourse appearance.
Heeraat filly whose dam was a modest Flat maiden. Doesn't make too much appeal on pedigree in this company and others are preferred.
Due Diligence filly who ran very green on debut at Carlisle in August but did much better last month over C&D when coming home strongly into eyecatching fourth. May improve again so has to be respected.

Forecasts
Frozen Ocean (5/4), King Ragnar (11/8), Anjah (7/1), Queen's Course (7/1), Indian Road (14/1), Lairig Ghru (16/1), Glen Force (20/1), Slingshot (28/1), Muritz (66/1), On Display (80/1), Golden Sandbanks (100/1), Carlton Bella (125/1), Brazen Bolt (150/1), Outofthegloom (250/1)
Plenty of good yards represented in what might prove to be a decent juvenile novice contest, but marginal preference is for QUEEN'S COURSE, who caught the eye on debut last week when staying on into fifth, and whose fine handler turns her out again quickly. Newcomers Anjah, Frozen Ocean and Indian Road could be anything and the market may prove informative, while both Ragnar Road and Slingshot have already shown ability and also enter calculations.
