Selected odds by:
Unraced Heeraat colt out of a mare who retired a maiden. Market support would be notable for a stable with a 20% strike-rate (5/25) in recent weeks.
Promising effort in finishing 3L fifth in a 6f novice race at Newbury (good) when making his debut last month. Likely to have improved for the experience.
Held on both starts to date most recently when 7L seventh over this C&D on good-to-firm going last month. Others hold more obvious claims.
Good effort in finishing 3L fifth in a 6f maiden at Ascot (good-to-firm) when debuting recently. Improvement likely and he is one to note in this contest.
Unraced Exceed And Excel colt bought for €430,000 at the sales as a yearling last October. Dam an unraced half-sister to a Grade 2 winner in the US and he is one for the shortlist on racecourse debut.
Unraced Iffraaj colt and a half-brother to the useful Reach High. Hails from a top yard and is an interesting runner on first racecourse appearance.
Unraced Outstrip colt out of a mare who won over 6f and 7f. Others make more appeal on debut for a yard not known for their two-year-old winners.
Unraced Estidhkaar gelding bought for £110,000 at the sales as a yearling in August last year. Half-brother to a couple of winners an dinteresting to see how he fares on debut.
Held both starts to date including 12L eighth in a C&D maiden on good ground recently. Probably best watched on this occasion.
Struggled in two starts so far including when 11L seventh in a 5f novice race at Wolverhampton last week. Others hold more obvious claims.
Unraced Charm Spirit colt and a half-brother to a number of multiple winners including seven time scorer Right Touch. Worth a check in the market on debut.
Unraced Showcasing colt purchased for 155,000 gns at the sales last October. Dam a winner over 7f on the AW and he is a notable runner on first racecourse appearance.
Slowly away prior to finishing 1L second in a novice event over this C&D when making her debut just over a fortnight ago. Leading contender in this event.
Unraced Music Master filly and a half-brother to a number of winners including high class sprinter Edge Closer. Market support would be notable on debut.
Slowly away when beaten 8L into fourth in a maiden over this C&D on good-to-soft ground in June. Improvement likely and is interesting if building on that debut effort.

Forecasts
Bhubezi (11/4), El Patron (7/2), Tilaawah (7/2), Eva Icon (5/1), Mojandil (14/1), Epidemic (14/1), Sophie B (14/1), Pepinillo (14/1), Astapor (14/1), Mihrab (16/1), The Waterman (16/1), Almost An Angel (50/1), Mister Bluebird (100/1), Musical Goddess (125/1), Devil's Cub (150/1), One Eighty Degrees (150/1), Paymaster (200/1)
EVA ICON caught the eye when placed here on debut and she can go one better than when finishing runner-up on that occasion. The selection is taken to get the better of El Patron who showed ability when fifth on his only previous start while the expensive yearling purchase Tilaawah looks capable of claiming third spot.
