Final Credit²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| D

12/1

Left debut effort well behind when accounting for 10 rivals in a 7f Wetherby novice (good to firm) last month. This is tougher under a penalty, but he remains open to improvement.

Form: 81

(2)

Poet Master¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| D

11/10

It wasn't much of a maiden in which he landed the odds on debut at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) a fortnight ago, but he did the job well and there should be better to come. Major player.

Form: 1

(10)

Balmy Breese¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead

200/1

Sent off at 125/1 and finished down the field on recent introduction at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Yard also saddles newcomer Forceful Spirit.

Form: 7

(12)

Cover Up

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: J & T Gosden

4/1

Exceed And Excel gelding. Dam, 5f winner who stayed 1m, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5.5f/6f winner Mischief Magic (by Exceed And Excel). Likely-looking newcomer representing top connections and needs close attention in the betting.

Form:

(7)

Forceful Spirit

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: Steph Hollinshead

150/1

Lethal Force colt. Dam, 5f/6f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 6f Enchantment. Yard is hardly synonymous with winning newcomers and probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion.

Form:

(3)

Rollz Royz^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Coakley| T: J Ferguson

125/1

Little to shout about in 2 starts so far and he's probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 79

(9)

Sherood³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: E Walker

7/1

Half-brother to 7.5f winner Raaghib and useful winner up to 1m Ghayadh. Has shown ability in a maiden at Doncaster and a Kempton novice (both at 7f) and likely to do better in time.

Form: 66

(11)

Smalleytime

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: K P De Foy

25/1

£62,000 yearling. Dam, Italian 7f/1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m (Premio Lydia Tesio) Sound of Freedom. Worth a second look in the betting.

Form:

(5)

Tango Man^t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: P & O Cole

3/1

Expensive purchase who didn't show a great deal on sole 2-y-o start for David Loughnane. However, his reappearance third of 14 on return/debut for new yard in a first-time tongue strap (retained) at Kempton (7f) was far more encouraging and he's probably capable of better still.

Form: 9-3

(1)

Wild Hoofer¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Joshua Bryan| T: A Watson

80/1

Bettered low-key debut display when sixth in an 11-runner Wolverhampton novice (7.2f) recently, but he's another who can be expected to fare better when going down the handicap route.

Form: 06

(6)

Burrows Dream^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: J Mackie

100/1

Ultra filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Burrows Seeside and 2-y-o 6.5f winner Allez Burrows. Dam French 2-y-o 5f-6.5f winner. Wears hood. Likely best watched on debut.

Form:

(8)

Clash Of The Ash^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: A Mullen| T: T Davidson

125/1

Kodiac filly. Half-sister to 6f-1¼m winner Battle Commence and 1¼m winner Spirit of Ash. Dam 5f-6.3f winner. Wears hood. Winning newcomers for this yard are few and far between, so watching brief advised.

Forecasts

Poet Master (11/10), Tango Man (3/1), Cover Up (4/1), Sherood (7/1), Final Credit (12/1), Smalleytime (25/1), Wild Hoofer (80/1), Burrows Dream (100/1), Rollz Royz (125/1), Clash Of The Ash (125/1), Forceful Spirit (150/1), Balmy Breese (200/1)

Though POET MASTER didn't have much to beat on his debut at Musselburgh, he went about his business in the manner of a decent prospect and is taken to maintain his 100% record here before going on to bigger things. Tango Man fetched £496,000 when resold as a 2-y-o and is feared most on the back of his encouraging reappearance third at Kempton. Newcomer Cover Up makes plenty of appeal on paper and is next on the list ahead of Wetherby winner Final Credit.
