8/1
Siyouni colt (£90,000 yearling); professional in both juvenile starts; kept on willingly when beaten less than 2L by the Charlie Appleby-trained Desert Peace at Kempton (7f) last October; stablemate of Ventura Bounty.

Camacho gelding (€55,000 yearling); second best (33-1) to the Frankel colt Highest Ground at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last September - fifth-placed Dulas a winner since; steps up in trip for handicap debut.

14/1
Always towards the fore when scoring by an emphatic 5L at Newcastle (7f) in February; below-par (beaten favourite) at Wolverhampton next time, and Richard Hannon arguably holds a stronger hand with the less exposed Nugget.

Tadreej232
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Meade| OR:  79
11/1
Ex-Godolphin (sold for 25,000gns in February); was facing a stiff task when bidding to defy a penalty (7f Chelmsford winner) at Newcastle 232-days ago; is noteworthy on stable/handicap debut with Oisin Murphy booked to ride.

10/3
Responded pleasing (to hands & heels riding) when breaking his duck at the third attempt on Polytrack at Lingfield (1m) last November; that form is largely untested (sixth-placed Blackcastle Storm is a winner) but there's certain to be more to come.

Carlos Felix221
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: D M Simcock| OR:  78
5/2
Caught the eye when finishing well (fourth) to the Richard Hannon-trained Count Of Amazonia at Newcastle (7f) in October - second-placed Khaloosy a winner since; placed at Kempton (20-1) a few weeks later; of some interest now handicapping.

Jumaira Bay227
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR:  78
18/1
Cost €120,000 as a yearling; ran his best race so far when runner-up on heavy ground at Yarmouth (7f); clearly has potential now switched to handicaps, albeit the sneaking suspicion is that he'll find others stronger on this occasion.

Diyari201
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden| OR:  77
7/1
John Gosden's representatives should always merit scrutiny, and this late-maturing Dubawi colt is no exception; simply unable to muster any extra when headed inside the final furlong at Chelmsford (1m) 201-days ago; dam was a winner at 1m2½f.

Horse silk
Zeimaam189
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: Owen Burrows| OR:  77
16/1
Slade Power colt; close third to Fruition at Lingfield last November; absent since finishing in the ruck behind the (still) exciting Waldkonig at Wolverhampton (1m1f+) last December; others more convincing.

Forecasts

Carlos Felix (5/2), Fruition (10/3), Diyari (7/1), Campari (7/1), Impatient (15/2), Nugget (8/1), Macho Boy (8/1), Tadreej (11/1), Ventura Bounty (14/1), The New Marwan (14/1), Zeimaam (16/1), Jumaira Bay (18/1)

Verdict

A fascinating three-year-old handicap which promises to be a strong and reliable source of future winners. The vast majority of those declared have shown degrees of promise with many appealing as thoroughly likeable individuals. Richard Hannon's NUGGET was a lightly-raced, yet streetwise juvenile and he's fancied to continue to improve now heading off down the handicapping route, while Fruition (William Haggas), Campari (Roger Charlton) and Diyari (John Gosden) are others to have fixed on the radar. However, it is David Simcock's CARLOS FELIX who receives the vote; he caught the eye when finishing fourth to Count Of Amazonia at Newcastle last October.
