Alfaraz (C)
300,000 gns Nathaniel colt who bumped into a useful one when second in a class 2 3-runner conditions race at Epsom (8.5f) in September. Not beaten far in warm novice at Newbury on return despite racing freely and remains with potential. NO…

Arabian Desert (C)
FAV
Useful form in 3 outings as a juvenile, culminating with a second in the Group 3 Horris Hill at Newbury (7f, heavy). Wasted what had looked a golden opportunity at Pontefract on return but still looks the one to beat up in trip.

El Nay (G)
Already gelded but has a smart pedigree and showed plenty when placed in AW maiden/novice earlier this year despite racing freely. Step in trip is a concern, though.

Norman Invasion (G)
Stepped up on debut when close third at Newcastle in November, seeing out the longer trip surprisingly well considering he again raced freely. Needs to improve again after 6 months off and up in trip.

Tornado Tower (C)
850,000 gns yearling, Frankel colt. Brother to Irish Derby/St Leger winner Hurricane Lane and half-brother to very smart stayer Sweet William. Highly promising first effort when second in Nottingham novice, needing the experience but finis…
