10/11

Comment: Runner-up on his debut over C&D in December and filled the same position having gone well clear on his Kempton return (1m, Polytrack) this month; a couple of those behind last time have already won since and he has a fine chance to go one better.

4/1

Comment: Finished in midfield on his debut in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m, good) 11 days ago when sent off 9-2 second favourite; beautifully bred and no surprise if he takes a big step forward.

11/2

Comment: Just 3-1 but never got competitive following a slow start when in midfield on his Yarmouth debut (7f, soft) last October; it's likely there is better to come from him and the stable won this last year.

Venezuelan

Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: R M Beckett Age/Wt: 3/9-4 F: 82-

10/1

Comment: 100,000gns yearling; stepped up from his debut when second of 12 at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in November; a few of those behind have won since and he wouldn't need to progress much further in order to play a part.

Grizedale

Jockey: R Kingscote Trainer: D & C Kubler Age/Wt: 3/9-4

11/1

Comment: Half-brother to winners Equality (5f including AW 2yo/Group 3; RPR 117), Badri (5f-7f including AW; 109), Outgate (7f-1m including 2yo/AW/HK; 105), Treasure Time (7f/1m; 98) and Deceiver (7f AW; 86); dam Listed-placed 6f AW winner (stayed 7f; 98); plenty to like on pedigree and stable does have winning newcomers; watch the market.

Jupiter Ammon

Jockey: Rob Hornby Trainer: A M Balding Age/Wt: 3/9-4

12/1

Comment: 85,000euros yearling, resold for 120,000euros as a yearling; dam runner-up 1m AW (RPR 70), half-sister to winners Pleasure Gains (HK 1m1f Listed), Sarinda (German 1m2f Listed) and Shamsheer (useful 7f-1m4f); worth monitoring in the market on debut for in-form yard.

Duca Di Lucca

Jockey: Ben Sanderson Trainer: S Woods Age/Wt: 3/9-9 F: 1-

18/1

Comment: 11-1 when making a successful debut over 7f here in October; just fair form, even though a couple of those behind have won since, but he shaped as though this extra furlong would suit and is respected despite the penalty; tongue-tie is given a go.

Aqab

Jockey: L Morris Trainer: Sir Mark Prescott Age/Wt: 3/9-4 F: 3

40/1

Comment: 18-1 when third of seven on Wolverhampton debut (8.6f, Tapeta) in January behind a subsequent winner; that was a fair start but his pedigree suggests he may not come into his own until tackling further.

Vino Sauro

Jockey: O J Orr Trainer: R A Fahey Age/Wt: 3/9-4

66/1

Comment: $80,000 yearling; half-brother to US 7.5f turf/1m2f dirt winner Urban Myth; dam US 6f/6.5f dirt winner (including minor stakes), sister to US 6f Listed winner Bridgehampton; already gelded but still worth a market check.

Take The A Train

Jockey: Hector Crouch Trainer: E A L Dunlop Age/Wt: 3/9-4 F: 5-

100/1

Comment: 150-1 when a well-beaten fifth of seven on his Newmarket debut (1m, good to soft) last September; pedigree suggests he may be one for handicaps over further in due course.
