Cobh²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 97

11/4

Taking debut 6f winner at Haydock and (20/1) took big step forward when second of 10 to Chindit in listed race at Ascot (7f) 27 days ago. May do better still at 1m so he enters calculations.

Form: 12

(7)

Fancy Man³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

6/1

10/1, overcame greenness to make winning debut in 10-runner novice at Haydock (7.2f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Form has been franked so firmly in the mix with more to come over 1m.

Form: 1

(3)

Knight Salute³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 91

7/1

Highly promising debut second at Wolverhampton before landing odds in 7f Sandown novice when made to work very hard to hold on narrowly. This step up in trip should really suit though so big player.

Form: 21

(6)

Seventh Kingdom^p1⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: David Egan| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 101

11/8

Green when debut winner of Doncaster novice and improved when 3rd to Master of The Seas in Superlative Stakes at Newmarket (7f), doing best work at finish. One to beat up to 1m with cheekpieces on.

Form: 13

(8)

Sugauli²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover

17/2

Gambled on when making winning debut in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago, though needed all of trip to get up. Lots to find on form but will be well suited by 1m so no forlorn hope.

Form: 1

(1)

Surprise Exhibit^p⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson

28/1

Built on debut promise when (cheekpieces on) making all in 8.6f maiden at Wolverhampton 9 days ago. Likely to do better still but he needs to in this tougher company.

Form: 71

(5)

Coul Queen¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans| OR: 89

40/1

7f Chepstow maiden winner who improved a notch when fifth of 9 to Star of Emaraaty in Sweet Solera Stakes (150/1) at Newmarket (7f) 13 days ago. More needed again though and not certain to stay 1m.

Form: 3315

Forecasts

Seventh Kingdom (11/8), Cobh (11/4), Fancy Man (6/1), Knight Salute (7/1), Sugauli (17/2), Bowland Park (25/1), Surprise Exhibit (28/1), Coul Queen (40/1)

SEVENTH KINGDOM brings the best form to the table and the fitting of cheekpieces promise to suit John Gosden's colt so he gets the nod over Knight Salute, who made hard work of landing the odds at Sandown but should relish this 1m trip. Novice debut-winning pair Fancy Man and Sugauli are not ruled out lightly either in an intriguing juvenile listed contest.
