Roger Varian's Midnight's Dream looked a winner in waiting when runner-up on his debut at Southwell but might again have to settle for second with the Gosdens' Kingman newcomer STANAGE, a brother to the very smart Calyx no less, rating a most interesting prospect. Recent scorers So Quiet and Balmacara along with the returning Upscale also need considering in a useful novice.[Peter Entwistle]

Son of New Bay who build on his debut promise when landing novice over C&D last month; he's open to further progress so must enter calculations despite shouldering a 6lb penalty.
Twice-raced Zoustar gelding who overcame a slow start to readily land 7f Kempton novice 30 days ago; that form has been franked so he's not taken lightly.
Too Darn Holt gelding; half-brother to five winners, notably Random Harvest (1m Group 3; RPR 112) and One Evening (1m3f/1m6f Listed; RPR 106); dam, 7f/1m winner (Listed; RPR 111); lots to like on pedigree and the market can guide on debut.
2-1, made a promising debut when second of ten to wide-margin scorer Night Raider in 7f Southwell novice in December; that form has worked out really well so another bold showing is on the cards from this son of Dark Angel.
160,000euros yearling; Zarak gelding; half-brother to three winners, notably Queen Of Bermuda (5f/6f Group 3; RPR 107); dam Listed-placed 5f-1m winner (RPR 99), is a half-sister to German 1,000 Guineas winner Electrelane; in excellent hands so a much respected debutant.
10-1 and green, but showed promise on his first run when third of 13 in 7f Kempton novice 30 days ago; there's more to come from this son of Ten Sovereigns so he's one to consider.
A brother to the stable's very smart 6f winner Calyx (Group 2; RPR 118); dam 6f-1m Group 3 winner (RPR 112), is a sister to 6f Group 1 winner African Rose and to dam of Dewhurst/Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Native Trail; in excellent hands and a fascinating newcomer.
10,000gns yearling, 65,000gns 2yo; half-brother to four winners, most notably Wind Test (French 5f/6f; RPR 96); dam 1m2f winner (RPR 73), is a half-sister to useful 6f-1m winner Santefisio; this Territories gelding is no forlorn hope.
46,000gns yearling; half-brother to three French winners, including Light In Paris (7f-8.5f US stakes); dam French 1m 2yo winner (RPR 97), is out of a half-sister to US 1m4f Grade 1 winner Sligo Bay; betting can prove an accurate indicator.
13-1, promising start when second of six in 7f Newmarket maiden last July; off since but that race has thrown up two subsequent winners so she can't be discounted, especially if the market vibes are positive for this daughter of Kingsman.
