The most striking contender is the Gosdens' TYCOON, who holds a Derby entry and showed plenty of promise with his eyecatching third at Sandown last August. He has leading claims on that form and could take a major step forward upped to this trip on his return. Noble Horizon looks the main danger, although Roger Varian's Relocal is an interesting newcomer and Ralph Beckett's debutante Glazia also needs a close look in the market.[David Moon]

Eight-race maiden who has finished a well-held fifth on the Flat (1m3f, AW) and over hurdles (2m, good) in his last three runs; still unexposed in this sphere but this looks a tough assignment and others are preferred.
Always in rear when tailed off at 250-1 in Lingfield maiden (1m2f, AW) in November; headgear is now added and he can only be watched on return for new yard.
Well-held seventh at a big price on Kempton debut (1m) in December and was withdrawn after refusing to enter the stalls on his return visit last month; gelded since and hood is added.
Brother to three winners with peak RPR of at least 111, notably Journey (1m2f-1m4f including Group 1; RPR 120); co-second favourite for Newcastle novice (7f) in November but was only eighth of 12 and he finished in rear again at Nottingham (1m2f, good) on his recent return; with top yard and still very early days but he needs a transformation; stablemate of Tycoon.
Kingman half-brother to six winners including two who ran to triple-figure RPR; couldn't make a serious impact when 9-2 at Kempton (1m, AW) in December but he kept on well to finish fourth of 13 behind a subsequent Listed runner-up; that was a promising start and he's open to progress upped in trip on his return.
200,000euros yearling; third foal; half-brother to winners Batemans Bay (1m 2yo; RPR 97) and Unexpected Outcome (Canadian 6f AW); dam placed 1m2f-1m6f (81), sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner Eye Of The Storm, half-sister to 6f/1m Group 3 winner Satchem; interesting newcomer and he needs a close look.
RPR of 73 in his both runs in the autumn, more recently when a 6l third of seven at Newmarket (1m2f, soft); still early days and should have more to offer this season but he needs improvement on his return.
Holds a Derby entry; by Kingman and he's a half-brother to numerous useful winners at up to 1m6f; never dangerous at 3-1 on Sandown debut (7f, good) last August but he made some striking late headway and was only beaten around 2l in third; sets the standard on that eyecatching effort and he's a big player upped in trip on his return.
Second foal; dam 7f turf 2yo/9.5f AW Listed winner (RPR 103), closely related to winners Regardez (1m2f Listed) and Sightline (1m2f), half-sister to 15.5f Group 1 winner Scope, out of 7f/1m winning half-sister to Oaks winner Look Here; plenty to like on paper and she needs a close look in market.
Beaten around 9l in both her runs and latest was when sixth of seven at Newbury (1m3f, good) 16 days ago; that was after a break but she has quite a bit to find here and will be more interesting in handicaps.
