Having won by a sizeable margin at Wolverhampton, WAITING FOR LOVE looks capable of defying a 5lb penalty. Nicely bred contenders Zepparella (second choice) and Without Compromise are likely to go well, as is Muddy Mooy provided her January success is backed up. Nahy looks the pick of the newcomers.[Steve Boow]

90,000euros yearling; Sea The Stars half-brother to Italian winners Love Yourself (6.7f-10.5f) and Justify Your Love (11.5f AW); failed to make the track for Roger Varian and sold for 28,000gns in July; market helpful on belated debut.
Siblings include an AW scorer; beaten 12l in the Wolverhampton event won by Waiting For Love but showed some ability while shaping as if the outing was needed; may improve.
Ran well at Wolverhampton last time but finished about 9l behind Waiting For Love and needs further progress; handicaps are likely to be more suitable shortly.
Absent since her debut success in 7f contest at Chelmsford in January for Barry Brennan; likely to be suited by 1m; still with same owner; one of the main players, provided that initial form is backed up.
200,000gns foal, 525,000gns yearling; sibling to four winners, notably Enfjaar (7f-1m2f including AW; RPR 117); dam 6f AW scorer, sister to US 1m/1m2f Grade 1 winner; wears tongue-tie; major stable; interesting newcomer.
70,000euros yearling; closely related to German 1m2f and 1m3f (Listed) scorer Quebueno (RPR 105), half-brother to two German winners, notably Queroyal (7.5f/1m2f including Group 3; 112); check the betting.
Made all for 7l success at Wolverhampton (8.5f) four weeks ago, building on her debut effort; open to further improvement and she is James Doyle's only ride today; strongly respected, even with a 5lb penalty.
Nicely bred gelding who was beaten only 2l in steadily run, small-field event at Newcastle (1m) three weeks ago; the bare form may not be reliable but he looks open to progress; possibilities.
24,000gns foal; by Cracksman and the first foal of a maiden daughter of 6f-winning half-sister to Finsceal Beo; distantly related to one of today's rivals, Nights Whisper; yard not noted for debut scorers.
Both starts over 7f, better effort when keeping-on third at Wolverhampton latest; likely to be suited by this extra furlong; from a good family and could well take another step forward; one for the shortlist.
