Selected odds by:

(7)

Ahdab¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop

9/2

Stepped up markedly on debut effort when finishing 2L second in a maiden over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton just over a fortnight ago. Strong claims of going one better stepping up in trip on turf debut.

Form: 7-2

(5)

Hundred Isles¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: M R Channon

22/1

Failed to land a blow when beaten 19L into eighth in a 1m maiden at Kempton on debut just under two weeks ago. Others make more appeal on first attempt at this distance.

Form: 8

(11)

Mr Nutherputt¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Knight

80/1

Well beaten eighth in a maiden over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton last time out. First start since being gelded that day and stamina to prove over this distance.

Form: 0-8

(2)

My Frankel³⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Louis Steward| T: Sir Michael Stoute

11/10

Shaped as if he'd improve for the experience when finishing seventh to Palace Pier on debut at Sandown (7f, good-to-firm) last August. Finished behind Balzac that day but is open to improvement stepping up in trip.

Form: 7-

(4)

Nasraawy¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden| BF

15/8

Sent off favourite when beaten a head into second in a 1m novice contest on debut at Newbury (good) just under a fortnight ago. Hails from a top yard and looks likely to play a leading role upped in trip.

Form: 2

(9)

Prince Alex¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: R M Beckett

14/1

Beaten 7½L when finishing eighth in a novice event over this trip at Lingfield when debuting earlier this month. Open to improvement and interesting to see how he performs.

Form: 8

(3)

Vitellio Scarpia¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: W Jarvis

80/1

Failed to beat a rival home when finishing 23L last of ten in a 1m novice race on debut at Newmarket (good) earlier this month. Probably best watched at present.

Forecasts

My Frankel (11/10), Nasraawy (15/8), Ahdab (9/2), Balzac (10/1), Prince Alex (14/1), Cozone (16/1), Hundred Isles (22/1), Tyson Fury (25/1), Fulbeck Girl (50/1), Hart Fell (50/1), Mr Nutherputt (80/1), Vitellio Scarpia (80/1)

AHDAB ran well when placed on debut at Wolverhampton recently and stepping up in distance he can get off the mark at the second time of asking in division two of the maiden event. The selection is bred to appreciate this trip and he can get the better of Nasraawy who is in the same ownership and is another to have placed on debut. Third place can go the way of My Frankel who can take third on his first attempt at this distance.
