This Farh is consistent and should go well but it is likely he will need improvement if he is to shed his maiden tag at the sixth attempt. Jungle Cruise still has potential and could take another step forward but it may pay to forgive ENCHANTED WAY her costly failure here 16 days ago. Cheekpieces now go on and her Epsom second last summer looks the best piece of form on offer.[Paul Smith]

Two 7f runs this winter, finishing fifth on both occasions but running to a fair level at Chelmsford three weeks ago; outpaced when the sprint began on that occasion but he's capable of better and the addition of a hood may help.
Tailed off on her debut at Chelmsford last summer (7f); more encouragement back at that track when fifth of eight three weeks ago; open to further progress and holds place claims.
Green and always behind when a remote last of six on his Southwell debut (1m) two weeks ago; dropping in trip is unlikely to suit judged on his pedigree.
Shaped well when second at Epsom last summer (7f, good to soft); strong in the market ahead of her reappearance over C&D 16 days ago but she dropped away quite tamely when headed in the home straight; again well drawn to attack and cheekpieces are now given a go; high on the list.
16-1 for last month's debut over C&D where she was green throughout and beaten just over 9l into sixth of the seven runners; can do better but such progress is a must.
3,500euros foal, 20,000gns yearling, 4,000gns 2yo; seventh foal; half-sister to winners Stellar Grande (1m2f; RPR 99), Laurentia (1m-1m2f AW; 64) and Susanbequick (1m AW; 62); dam French 7.5f/1m2f winner (88); enough paper appeal to warrant a market check in a weak race.
£15,000 yearling; eleventh foal; half-sister to seven winners including useful 6f-1m winner Sterling Knight (RPR 99); dam a 1m winner (94) out of a French Oaks winner; yard's newcomers usually better for a run and she was a 100-1 shot at the time of withdrawal having broken out of the stalls on her intended debut in November.
Fourth foal; half-sister to 6f/7f AW winner Ibn Aldar (RPR 80); dam 5f/6f 2yo winner (78); stable not renowned for winning newcomers but the standard to aim at isn't a daunting one.
