King Eagle¹⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: M L W Bell

5/1

Frankel half-brother to smart 1m winner Magical Morning. Some promise in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good) on debut in October. Longer trip will suit and he could improve plenty this year.

Form: 0-

(3)

Levitate¹⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston

15/2

Fair form in a couple of novice events over this trip in the autumn, runner-up to Godolphin challenger (who won again in Dubai last month) on AW when last seen. More to come this year, particularly when granted a stiffer test.

Form: 32-

(1)

Savvy Victory¹⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: S Woods| OR: 84

9/4

Fairly useful form in some good 1m contests last 3 starts in 2021. Longer trip should suit on breeding and he's the only one in the field with Dante/Derby entries.

Form: 4232-

(5)

Soul Stopper¹⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: A M Balding| OR: 86

6/4

Took a big step forward on final 2-y-o start when chasing home promising winning-newcomer of Godolphin's at Newmarket (10f, soft), headed only late on. Type to do even better at 3 yrs and looks the one to beat.

Form: 632-

(2)

Thundering²¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan

15/2

180,000 gns half-brother to several winners, including useful pair Cosmeapolitan and Lord Neidin. Easy to back and green on debut at Haydock (1m) in September, always behind. Gelded and should do better this season.

Form: 5-

Forecasts

Soul Stopper (6/4), Savvy Victory (9/4), King Eagle (5/1), Thundering (15/2), Levitate (15/2)

SOUL STOPPER was reeled in close home by a promising winning newcomer of Charlie Appleby's at Newmarket when last seen. That was a big step up from him and he's just the type to progress further this year. He gets the vote over Savvy Victory, who holds Dante/Derby entries and kept some good company last season.
