Billecart (C)
FAV
Bred to be useful and made an encouraging start when fourth of 12 in a Newmarket maiden in July, form which has worked out very well. Absent since but the one to beat with improvement to come.

Shimmering Spirit (G)
With hood applied for debut, showed a bit to work on amidst inexperience when fourth of 5 in novice at this course (7f) 2 weeks ago. Looks one for further down the line, though.

Wuood (C)
Night Of Thunder colt. Dam, runner-up at 7f, sister to very smart winner up to 9f Diego Velazquez and closely related to very smart winner up to 2m Broome out of useful 2-y-o 5f winner Sweepstake. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Too Darn Spicy (F)
35,000 gns yearling, £320,000 2-y-o, resold 2,000 2-y-o. Too Darn Hot filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¾m (stayed 2m) Red Galileo out of useful 1½m winner Ivory Gala. May just be better for this first experience.
