Edraak²⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby

16/1

Elzaam gelding, cost £13,000 in January. No match for a smart sort on debut at Chepstow but green that day and beat the rest well enough. Starts out for a new yard here and the trainer does well with these sorts; interesting.

3/1

Surprise winner on debut when bolting up at Redcar (6f) and showed that was no fluke when third of 28 in a valuable sales race at Newmarket. Provided he's trained on, he could be the one to beat; AW debut.

Form: 13-

Little Red Socks⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| D

4/1

Acclamation filly, cost €50,000 at the Breeze-up sales. Looked sharp when winning on Tapeta at Wolverhampton on debut. Likely in need of more progress to win this but that's entirely possible and this stiffer test should suit.

Form: 1

Benefit Street

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

33/1

Zebedee gelding, cost €10,500 as a yearling. Half-brother to a winner over this trip; dam a half-sister to useful sprinter. Likely second string for this yard but trainer can ready a newcomer.

Blazing Hot

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate

4/1

Hot Streak colt, cost £70,000 as a Breeze-up purchase. Granddam a half-sister to US Grade 2 winner. Most interesting debutante in the line up, high draw could be against him with likely pace drawn low.

Hellfire Kode

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: S Waugh

250/1

Helmet colt, dam placed at this trip and half-sister to a winner in Norway. Pedigree doesn't suggest he will be up to winning this.

Nagamani

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler

150/1

Brazen Beau gelding, cost £12,000 as a Breeze-up purchase. Dam a French middle distance winner and half-sister to 2m Listed winner. Yard not known for their success with newcomers and others preferred.

Silver Sniper

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

80/1

Zebedee gelding, half-brother to four winners, largely over longer trips than this, dam a 1m winner. Likely to need this first outing.

Unbreakable

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

40/1

Stimulation colt, cost 10,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to five winners, dam a winner over this trip in France. Tough race to make a debut in but worth a market check.

80/1

Cacique filly, cost 3,000 gns as a yearling. Half-sister to four winners including sprinters, dam a winner and half-sister to a Grade 2 winner. Best watched on debut.

Forecasts

Freedom Flyer (11/4), Bond's Boy (3/1), Blazing Hot (4/1), Little Red Socks (4/1), Ejtilaab (15/2), Edraak (16/1), Benefit Street (33/1), Unbreakable (40/1), Silver Sniper (80/1), Casilli (80/1), Nagamani (150/1), Hellfire Kode (250/1)

It could be hard for the newcomers to get the better of those with experience in this contest and BOND'S BOY sets a solid standard on form with some impressive form from his two-year-old campaign. Little Red Socks could be a threat to the selection if she improves from her Wolverhampton win on debut while Edraak produced a promising debut when looking in need of the experience. Of the newcomers, Blazing Hot looks most interesting having been bought for £70,000 at the Breeze-ups.
