Verdict: With the drop to 5f looking a plus, WALNUT should build on his Wolverhampton promise. Cape Sovereign is second choice.

5/4

Comment: Made the frame in four turf races last year; had wind/gelding operations since; this AW debutant has a major chance on the figures.

7/4

Comment: Promising third, despite being headstrong, in 6f maiden at Wolverhampton; respected with this drop in distance likely to be in his favour.

Honest Courtesan

Jockey: Hollie Doyle Trainer: Archie Watson Age/Wt: 3/8-12

1 tip

6/1

Comment: Kodiac filly who is the first foal of a Listed-placed 5f winner (RPR 99); wears cheekpieces on debut; market instructive.

Mc Moan

Jockey: Finley Marsh Trainer: Richard Hughes Age/Wt: 3/9-5 F: 6

Comment: Finished about 5l behind Walnut in 6f maiden at Wolverhampton but was a lot shorter in the betting than that rival and may improve.

A Day In Bloom

Jockey: Dylan Hogan Trainer: Jack Jones Age/Wt: 3/8-12

28/1

Comment: Ulysses half-sister to three winners, notably Beau Roc (5f; RPR 73); one of two newcomers in the field; check the betting.

Sir Kenny

Jockey: Kyle Strydom Trainer: Dylan Cunha Age/Wt: 3/9-5 F: 0-7

100/1

Comment: Drops further in trip needing major improvement on his 1m/6f efforts; handicaps likely to be more suitable soon.
