15/8
Dubawi colt who has improved from run to run, comfortably landing the odds second time up in maiden at the Curragh in August before ½-length runner-up to Green Impact in Champions Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, good) 4 weeks ago. Capable of better again.

Horse silk
13/2
Wootton Bassett colt who confirmed debut promise when winning 13-runner maiden at Punchestown (8.1f, good) last month, taking a while to get going but eventually hitting the line strongly. Open to further improvement heading into pattern company.

Timeform
Frankel colt who confirmed debut promise despite still looking rather green once coming under pressure when winning 10-runner maiden at Yarmouth (7f, firm) last month, looking to have a fair bit left in the tank at the finish. Further improvement required hiked up in grade but that's possible.

11/4
€1,250,000Y Dubawi colt who was clearly still learning but confirmed debut promise quite impressively in 5-runner novice at Haydock (8f, good) last month, quickening to lead approaching final 1f. Already useful and capable of better still.

7/2
Sales price shot up to 210,000 gns as a yearling and he built on an encouraging debut when landing the odds in 9-runner maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) a couple of months ago. Will be suited by at least this trip and likely to go on improving for his red-hot yard.

28/1
Decisive winner of a Doncaster maiden on debut and ran a cracker when pitched into the Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 6 weeks later. Not so good in Champagne Stakes back at former track (7f, good) 4 weeks ago and others look to have more potential.

Forecasts

Delacroix (15/8), Silver Peak (11/4), Stanhope Gardens (7/2), Genealogy (13/2), Nightwalker (11/1), Wolf Of Badenoch (28/1)

Verdict

DELACROIX improved another chunk pitched into Group 2 company when runner-up at Leopardstown 4 weeks ago and, with further progress on the cards, Aidan O'Brien's colt is fancied to double his tally at the expense of Silver Peak, who was clearly still learning but got off the mark in impressive fashion at Haydock last month. Stanhope Gardens can edge out Wolf of Badenoch for the third spot.
