|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6th | 1 | 10 |
Cloud Forest (G)
Blue Point gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Dream Whisper. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, closely related to very smart winner up to 1½m Old Persian. This is a belated debut but Oisin Murphy has been booked and he'd enter the reckoning if the bet…

Liam Mera Kai (G)
Bumper winner and fair maiden hurdler. Pulled up on handicap debut when last seen in February. Probably best watched now switching to the Flat.

| 10th | 3 | 8 |
Semele (F)
Made the frame once from 3 starts in bumpers. Better effort in Flat maidens this spring when 3 lengths fourth at Kempton (11f) in March. Likely vulnerable for win purposes again.

Shopaholic (F)
40/1, 8¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Knights Charge in maiden at Lingfield (1¼m, all-weather) on belated debut 21 days ago. She'll need to leave that well behind.

Bay Royale (C)
FAV
Confirmed 1m course debut promise last autumn when winning a C&D novice (good to soft) 5 months later. Well on top at the finish so there should be more to come.

4-12 | Pierre-Louis Jamin | Harry Eustace | 3 | 61.2 kg |

| 1st | 6 | 9 |
Knights Charge (C)
Promising type. Third on debut last year. Returned to land shorts odds in 8-runner maiden at Lingfield (1¼m, all-weather) 21 days ago, soon clear. Useful prospect and taken to defy a penalty.

3-11 | Ray Dawson | R Varian | 3 | 61.2 kg |

Barak Warrior (G)
More one for handicaps after this based on his 2 runs this spring.

Cliff Danger (G)
40/1, held back by inexperience when sixth of 8 in novice at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) on debut 23 days ago, very slowly away. Up in trip.

Domenico Contarini (C)
Promising second on 1m Newcastle debut in February but proved a bit of a let down when only fifth at Kempton (1m again) 6 weeks later. Steps up in trip now switching to turf. Still early days.
|
25 | Non Runner | K P De Foy | 3 | 58.1 kg |

5/1
|
| 3rd | 10 | 11 |
Outflank (G)
Promising Churchill gelding who has finished third in maidens at Kempton (11f) and Salisbury (1½m, good). Prominent showing likely for a top stable enjoying a fine spring.

3-3 | Luke Catton | J & T Gosden | 3 | 58.1 kg |

| 9th | 11 | 6 |
Zurna (G)
Sea The Moon gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart winner up to 2m Siskany and 1½m winner Harpsichord. Changed hands for 23,000 gns in February. Likely best watched.
