4/7

Comment: Promising second on debut in a warm race at Goodwood (6f, soft) last month and filled the same position at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) subsequently; beaten at odds-on on that second start but it was still a creditable performance and he holds leading claims in first-time blinkers.

Sovereign Wealth

10/3

Comment: 450,000gns yearling; second foal; dam 7f 2yo winner (RPR 96) from classy family; trainer can ready one first time and this Frankel newcomer could play a major role, especially if strong in the betting.

4/1

Comment: 18-1 when fourth of nine on last month's debut at Salisbury (6f, good to firm; beaten just over 4l) and the winner made it 2-2 when landing a Group 2 subsequently; his dam won over 1m4f and he's open to improvement now up in trip; could have a part to play.

Comment: 0-10 on turf and winless on AW since February 2022, while he can often be slowly away; bolted before start and withdrawn at Chelmsford recently (15-2 at the time); comes with risk attached but it's early days with this yard and he's run encouraging races the last twice; not ruled out.

Comment: In good form this season following wind surgery and got off the mark at the 11th attempt at York (1m4f, good to firm) last Friday; had just over 2l to spare in that apprentice handicap and escapes a penalty; 7lb ahead of the handicapper today and holds strong claims.

Comment: C&D 2yo maiden winner; progressive in this 4yo campaign, winning at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last month and following up at Brighton (7f, good to firm); climbing the weights but could have more left in the tank.

Comment: 0-15 since winning in August 2023 on his third start but he's run well more often than not for his new yard this season and was runner-up over C&D (good) a fortnight ago; there's every chance he'll be in the mix.

Comment: Lightly raced 4yo who got back on track with a good fourth of eight over C&D last time (good), when less than 1l behind the runner-up Mafnood; another 1lb lower today (and 2lb better off with Mafnood); might not be far away.
