Legend Of Leros¹⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti

13/2

Stepped up on his debut effort in no uncertain terms when landing 13-runner maiden at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 6 months ago. Looks to have a bit about him physically and but a place may be the best he can hope for here.

Royal Rhyme^t²¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: C Lee| T: K R BurkeWS

9/2

Lope De Vega colt who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut fitted with a tongue strap at Thirsk (7f, soft) 7 months ago, leading close home. He's sure to progress with that under his belt and has undergone a wind operation since last seen.

Slipofthepen¹³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: J & T Gosden| CD

4/9

Night of Thunder colt who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in the manner of a potentially smart colt in 14-runner novice over C&D back in November, leading approaching final 1f and soon going clear. Most exciting prospect.

10/1

4/1, ran to a similar level as on debut after 7 months off when fourth of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) 16 days ago. Still isn't the finished article but will need to take a sizeable step forward to feature.

It was hard not be taken with how SLIPOFTHEPEN routed his opposition over C&D back in November and with John & Thady Gosden's charge destined for much better things (holds plenty of fancy entries, including in The Derby), he's strongly fancied to make it 2-2. Royal Rhyme made a winning start at Thirsk in September, so he's put forward as the main threat on the back of a breathing operation, with Legend of Leros next on the list.
