Ninepm Limited silk
No. 1 Draw 10

Twice-raced gelding. Promise on debut at Newbury and wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 15 in minor event at Leicester on next start (6f, heavy, 6/1), not knocked about. Gelded during 7-month absence and remains open to improvement.

No. 2 Draw 3

Harry Angel gelding. Already hooded and looked very green when fifth of 9 in maiden (5/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on debut 15 days ago. Should progress but major step forward needed to figure here.

Twice-raced filly. 22/1, raced freely when seventh of 9 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Needs to race more efficiently to better that form here.

Juddmonte silk
No. 3 Draw 8

Made a promising start when running-on fifth of 10 in minor event at Sandown on debut. Still rough around the edges when turned over a short odds at Chelmsford on next start and may well do better having been gelded during his 7-month absence, though drop to 6f doesn't look an obvious plus.

No. 8 Draw 9

80,000 gns yearling, Oasis Dream filly. Dam, 6f winner, sister to smart 6f/7f winner Intense Pink and half-sister to smart 6f winner Henrik. Wears hood. Pedigree offers encouragement and she's worth market check on debut.

Muir Racing Partnership - Newbury silk
No. 11 Draw 5

Twice-raced filly. Much improved from debut when third of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 125/1), albeit well positioned. Off 164 days. Respected.

No. 4 Draw 6

Showcasing gelding. Evens, needed experience when third of 10 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) on debut 16 days ago, nearest finish. Likely to improve.

No. 7 Draw 1

Invincible Spirit filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 9f/9.5f winner That Which Is Not out of high-class 8.5f-10.5f (Tattersalls Gold Cup) winner Shiva. Trainer’s newcomers command respect.

Cable Bay filly. Dam, 5f winner, closely related to useful 6f winner Bright Edge. Wears hood. Not the most obvious type on paper.
