Comment: Hooded when fourth of six on debut but went without headgear when a ready winner over C&D a month ago (good to firm), accounting for a subsequent winner; stable has a good record in this race.

Comment: Has shown a useful level of form despite five defeats (demoted from first in his second race), but he's looking more consistent than progressive; perhaps vulnerable once more.

My Dad Tom

Jockey: S M Levey Trainer: Richard Hannon Age/Wt: 2/9-4

10/1

Comment: 62,000gns breeze-up buy; first foal out of a 1m winner (RPR 87) and half-sister to winners Helvezia (7f) and Caballero (7f 2yo); bred to win races and the market should be revealing.

Noelies Dream

Jockey: Charles Bishop Trainer: Dylan Cunha Age/Wt: 2/9-4

25/1

Comment: £32,000 yearling; ninth foal; half-brother to winners Well Done Fox (5f; Listed; RPR 107), Excellently Poised (5f; 83), High Security (5f; 77) and Ski Angel (5f; 64); dam 5f winner and Listed class; gelded ahead of this debut and likely best watched.

Daretobedifferent

Jockey: Darragh Keenan Trainer: Des Donovan Age/Wt: 2/8-13 F: 3373 OR: 69

Comment: A BHA mark of 69 looks a fair reflection of her ability after four defeats but she's receiving weight from the two form horses and should have a part to play.

Comment: Inexperience cost her the race at Salisbury last August (1m, good to firm) when nosed out by subsequent Group 2 winner Qilin Queen; clearly failed to give her running when a beaten favourite at Haydock (1m) and can be given another chance; bred to stay this far.

Comment: Her fourth course win when collecting by 8l at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) and it was harder work when following up at Doncaster (1m6f, good); up 2lb for last time and partnered by a 5lb claimer the last twice, so has more on her plate at these weights; still respected as an in-form mare.
