Benvenuto Cellini (C)
FAV
Frankel colt who really impressed when 5-length winner of Champions Juvenile (1m) at Leopardstown in September. Sent off 7/4 favourite but didn't progress as much as anticipated when third of 5 in Futurity Trophy in the mud at Doncaster (1…

Del Maro (C)
Very much heading in the right direction at 2yrs when third in Group 3 Zetland at Newmarket (1¼m) in October and he comfortably landed the odds in 5-runner novice at Yarmouth (1¼m) on his return. Open to improvement now stepping up in dist…

Mr Colonel (C)
Progressive as a 2-y-o, twice a runner up before posting very good fifth in Newmarket's Zetland Stakes in October. Reappeared with an all-the-way win in 4-runner novice at Redcar (1¼m) 16 days ago. More to offer over this longer trip but t…

Mr Vettori (C)
Got off the mark in 1m maiden at Gowran in October and bettered that form on his seasonal return when second of 4 in 1¼m conditions event at Cork 12 days ago. This demands a clear personal best.

Proposition (C)
[P1]
Very green on his debut but this very well-related Frankel colt took a major step forward when a stylish winner of 12-runner maiden at Galway (7f) in October. Cheekpieces now added and he has plenty more to offer now his stamina is unlocke…

Royal Standard (C)
[T1]
Improving Sea The Stars colt who returned with an emphatic victory in 4-runner maiden at Wolverhampton in March. This is much tougher but he's open to further progress. Tongue tie added. NON RUNNER.

Water To Wine (C)
Son of Kingman who really impressed when making a winning start in 8-runner maiden at Newbury (11f) 18 days ago, easily quickening clear 1f out. Shouldn't be underestimated for top yard. NON RUNNER.
