11/8

Comment: 17-2, slowly into stride and green when never dangerous in Kempton maiden (1m, AW) three weeks ago, with plenty of pushing required to get him into sixth of 14; classy pedigree, though, and he could be a big improver.

4/1

Comment: Mixed pedigree for stamina, with dam a 1m4f-2m winner; made the frame over 7f at Southwell (AW) and Catterick (good) this spring and he looks sure to be in the money again, with 1m+ highly likely to help.

11/2

Comment: Not far away at Chelmsford (100-1) in November and 2l third of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (again 7f on AW; 4-1) three weeks ago; likely to stay 1m and has place claims.

Komodo Island

Jockey: George Downing Trainer: Ed Walker Age/Wt: 3/9-2 F: 86-

7/1

Comment: By Frankel out of a 1,000 Guineas winner; too green at Kempton (1m, AW) but some improvement when sixth of ten in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) later in December; looks set for improvement this term, which puts him in the mix if it's forthcoming today.

11/1

Comment: 16-1 and hooded, looked green when 4l fourth of eight in maiden at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in March but that did show significant ability in this context and he should improve.

Comment: Three races, easily best of them when second at Haydock (1m, good) last July; final start was on heavy ground; has changed hands and left Harry Charlton; good chance if reverting to that best effort.

Sir Wootton

Jockey: D Egan Trainer: John Butler Age/Wt: 3/9-2

14/1

Comment: 11th foal; Wootton Bassett half-brother to five winners including Dark Crusader (1m3f-1m6f; RPR 101), Cailini Alainn (1m4f/1m5f; 93) and Naughty Or Nice (9.4f/1m5f; 92); unraced dam closely related to US 1m3f Grade 1 winner; late foal on debut but pedigree means he needs a market check.

Wicklow Way

Jockey: J Garritty Trainer: Mark Walford Age/Wt: 3/9-2

66/1

Comment: 8,000euros yearling by The Irish Rover; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to 10.6f-1m4f Flat and 2m/2m1f hurdle winner Pak Army, out of 7f-winning half-sister to 6f Listed winner Bounty Box and Listed-placed 2yo winners; on debut, he's perhaps best watched.

Mazza

Jockey: P J McDonald Trainer: Geoffrey Harker Age/Wt: 4/10-2

80/1

Comment: 18,000gns foal; seventh foal; Massaat half-brother to four winners including Charlie D (1m4f-2m1f; RPR 97), Vitani (US 7f dirt) and Apollo Rebellion (Japanese 8.5f); dam unraced half-sister to smart 2m5f hurdle winner Windsor Park; on his debut, others seem more likely.

Comment: Behind at 50-1 in the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, soft) last March and the same when 66-1 in a novice at Ripon (6f, good) ten days ago.
