Sea Founder sets the standard on his best 2yo form but preference is for ABUNDANCE, who had some serious traffic issues when an eyecatching fourth at Wolverhampton in October. That was a promising debut and he's open to plenty of progress upped in trip on his reappearance. Another interesting contender is Richard Hannon's Bondi, who ran well well to a point in the Wood Ditton and looks a likely improver on his second start.[David Moon]

Showed ability in two of his three bumpers but this 5yo struggled at a big price when switched to the Flat at Bath (1m, good to firm) 24 days ago; opposable.
40,000gns yearling; by Saxon Warrior and first foal of a Swedish 1m4f winner and daughter of Danish 1m Listed scorer; well held in Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m, good) 12 days ago but he ran well to a point in that hot maiden and this looks an ordianry race; interesting contender and he's a likely improver on his second start.
Left his Ascot debut form well behind when an eyecatching fifth of 11 over C&D (1m, good to firm) in September; didn't build on that at Kempton later that month but a switch to positive tactics may have backfired and it is still early days for this well-related gelding; respected on his return.
38,000euros foal, £30,000 yearling, 3,500gns 2yo; half-brother to winners Jawwaal (5f-7f; RPR 104) and Don't Tell Claire (7f/1m; 96); dam unraced half-sister to 7f Group 3 winner Ouqba and 1m4f Listed winner Foxhaven; yard 2-41 in maidens in recent years and he could be one for later on.
Attracted support into 9-1 for recent Wolverhampton debut (8.6f) but he ran green and was always in rear; should know more this time but he needs major improvement on this switch to turf.
Nibbled at in the betting at Wolverhampton (7f) in October and he made a promising start, slowly into stride and green early but keeping on well in the straight despite meeting traffic problems; open to plenty of improvement now upped in trip on his return and he needs a close look for in-form yard; has been gelded.
Well-held fifth in two heavy-ground runs in the autumn and it was a backward step at Nottingham last time; still early days and now switches to fast ground but he needs a transformation on his return.
Beat only one rival on his Goodwood debut (6f, good) last May and same outcome on comeback at Kempton (7f, AW) 19 days ago; remains best watched for now.
Half-sister to two winners for her connections but was 100-1 on Kempton debut (1m, AW) in December and she finished right out the back; best watched on return.
Faded into a well-held eighth when 20-1 at Newbury (7f, good) 17 days ago; this step up in trip should suit on breeding but she needs to leave her initial form well behind.
