Promising type who made a winning start here (7f) last month and improved on that form when third of 10 in novice (13/2) at Newcastle (8f) 16 days ago. Should be more to come yet.
500,000 gns Kingman colt who produced his best effort yet, equipped with cheekpieces, when close second in novice at Newmarket (8f) in July. Disappointed in first-time blinkers at Kempton latest but they have been discarded here and he has been gelded since. The one to beat.
1,500 gns 3-y-o, Teofilo filly. Dam twice-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 11.5f Cassydora out of smart winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 1m winner) (should have stayed 1½m) Claxon.
SWORD has cheekpieces refitted after disappointing at Kempton last time and is taken to open his account here. Baraq and Lattaash look the obvious dangers.
