Into The Light (C)
FAV
Well-bred colt who landed 5-runner maiden on debut over at Lingfield 25 days ago with plenty in hand despite a steady gallop. This step up in trip will suit (dam stayed well) and he's potentially a big improver.

Ravenspire (C)
Second foal, half-brother to useful 2-y-o 1m winner (stays 16.5f) Imperial Sovereign (by Frankel). Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 1¼m (fourth in Poule d'Essai des Pouliches), half-sister to very smart 1m winner Triple Time, won Queen Anne…

Starship Trooper (C)
Stepped up on debut run when second of 5 in a novice at Pontefract (20/1) in October, suited by the longer trip. Steps up further in distance on all-weather debut after 156 days off.

Galistra (F)
Well-bred filly who was sent off 13/8 favourite on debut but checked out tamely when eighth of 9 over 11f at Kempton in January. Clearly thought capable of a lot better.
