Zain Primus (C)
Promising individual. Won 12-runner novice at Kempton (6f, 5/2) 43 days ago. That form has been strongly boosted since and he's taken to defy a penalty with further improvement likely.

Gold Digger (F)
Made a winning debut at Yarmouth (6f) last May. 4¼ lengths sixth of 17 to Venetian Sun in Albany at Royal Ascot (6f, firm) the following month. Not seen since but could be capable of making up for lost time.

Forest Phoenix (G)
Caught the eye when fifth of 11 in maiden at Catterick (7f) on debut in April. Hasn't reproduced that in 2 subsequent outings. Remains the type to do better at some point but it almost certainly won't be until handicapping. NON RUNNER.

Project Wallace (G)
€75,000 Cotai Glory gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including 2-y-o 6f winner Felix Natalis. Dam unraced out of useful 7f/1m winner Vista Bella. Check the betting with this newcomer but he'll need to be very useful to take this on debu…

Qila (G)
Showed a fair level of ability in 2 outings last September (C&D first occasion). Has had a breathing operation ahead of reappearance. Improvement will be needed.

Shaped well when second of 15 in novice at Redcar (6f, good) on debut in November, finishing well. Looks sure to progress.
