Dr Julius No60
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: Fran Berry| T: R M Beckett| OR:  90
8/1
Gained two wins as a juvenile over 6f and 7f and makes his Polytrack debut here having won on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton. Ran well at Newcastle in a handicap (7f) last time out when making his effort earlier than ideal and still looks to be improving.

10/1
Won his maiden here over 6f when blinkered for the first time and has run in Group 2 company subsequently. Last two starts have come on turf at Meydan where he has run respectably and looks like an interesting contender with cheekpieces tried for the first time.

High Acclaim152
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: S De Sousa| T: R A Teal| OR:  86
16/1
Consistent sort as a juvenile and won a maiden over C&D on his second start. Rounded off the season with a win in a Pontefract nursery over 6f off a mark of 80 and looks worthy of a go in this grade on his return to action off a break.

Marquee Club15
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR:  89
50/1
Should be one of the fittest in this line-up having run five times already this year and looked unsuited by the drop to 5f last time out. Can travel strongly in his races and looks as though front-running tactics suit him as he returns to a more suitable trip.

Second Thought46
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: R Winston| T: W J Haggas| OR:  104
13/8
One of the more lightly-raced sorts in the field but has won twice on the AW (both over 6f) at Wolverhampton and Kempton Park. Took a big step up in grade last time out in style beating a small but useful field in good style (form working out) and looks the type to find more improvement as he steps up n trip.

Sutter County15
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR:  103
4/1
Narrowly beaten by Second Thought in January over 6f at Kempton Park and meets that rival on the same terms. Has run respectably twice since over shorter trips than this and steps up to 7f today against some progressive types.

Volatile114

4/1
Made marked improvement from his Newmarket turf debut (7f) when winning a Chelmsford AW maiden also over 7f. Did have the run of the race but looked as though he would go on improving.

Annie Fiorh100
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-10| J: P Hanagan| T: D J Coakley| OR:  80
33/1
Made a solid debut on turf at Leicester in a 6f maiden and followed that up a month later with a win on the AW at Chelmsford over a furlong further to break his maiden. Looks the sort to do well in handicaps but takes a fair rise in grade in this event.

Tisbutadream24
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-10| J: S W Kelly| T: D R C Elsworth| OR:  85
14/1
Improving filly who has looked well suited by going into handicaps on the AW winning her last three all over a mile. Has shown a good attitude to complete a hat-trick but this will be tougher, especially stepping back in trip.

Forecasts

Second Thought (13/8), Sutter County (4/1), Volatile (4/1), Dr Julius No (8/1), Grey Britain (10/1), Tisbutadream (14/1), High Acclaim (16/1), Annie Fior (33/1), Marquee Club (50/1)

Verdict

An interesting heat and there are some improving sort here with the biggest amongst that group being SECOND THOUGHT. Won in good style last time out when beating Sutter County despite that one getting first run and he looks the sort to go onto better things. Volatile has only won a maiden so far but still looks unexposed as does Dr Julius No and that pair are worthy of respect. Tisbutadream faces a tough task stepping out of handicap company but deserves a crack at something better as does High Acclaim.
  1. Second Thought
  2. Sutter County
  3. High Acclaim
