Showed huge improvement here over 6f last backend on second start and form looks solid. Left John Gosden's stable for 28,000 gns and could prove to be a good buy in time; Ryan Moore booked.

Brazen Beau half-brother to useful 5f/6f winner Ascot Day, place in a Godolphin 1-2-3 at Newmarket (5f, good to firm; 12-1) last spring on sole outing. Likely has similar aspirations at least.

Lope De Vega colt was nailed close home on debut at Newbury (6½f, heavy; 3-1f) in big-field maiden in the autumn (front two clear). Race has thrown up four winners since and he looks set to play key role now.

War Command gelding, showed some promise in his two runs last year but will have to step things up considerably to be landing this contest.

Nicely related son of Oasis Dream was a head-second in 6f Wolverhampton novice on debut just before the break; likely improver and should be in the firing line again.

Fetched £130,000 as a breeze-up buy and confirmed promise when runner-up on debut at Newcastle (6f) last autumn having started 6-4f. This looks stronger on paper.

Camacho gelding. Related to a 5f-7f winner in Italy. Trainer not renowned for winning newcomers which tempers enthusiasm in a decent line-up. Market check advised.

Forecasts

Cold Front (1/1), City Walk (2/1), Meraas (7/1), Perfect Focus (18/1), Al Hajees (20/1), Marietty (33/1), Captivated (50/1), Mosey (66/1), Fresh (80/1), Tagovailoa (125/1), Imperial Command (250/1), Salsa Dip (250/1)

Verdict

COLD FRONT was edged out in a 20-runner heavy-ground Newbury maiden on debut in the autumn having travelled strongly in the lead. The front pair had clear daylight from the pack, which has already thrown up a quartet of subsequent winners. William Haggas' smart-looking colt sets the standard on that effort and may go one better. Meraas, Captivated and City Walk are others with form to note, while Al Hajees and Fresh are noted newcomers.
