While most of these bring potential, the most striking seems to belong to last month's Newbury third MARNIER. Also showing conspicuous promise last month were Mister Winston and Sea Suite who may prove the chief dangers, preferred in that order.[Richard Austen]

Sea The Moon gelding from smart family; 12-1, always mid-division in novice at Kempton (1m2f, AW) 16 days ago, failing to handle the home turn but keeping on into fourth of 14; each-way claims, along with many of these, and he should be a lot wiser this time.
62,000gns breeze-up 2yo; dam 10.5f-2m winner (RPR 91); 33-1, made late headway into third of 12 behind an impressive favourite in novice at Newbury (1m, heavy) last October; that showed plenty of ability and promise.
£22,000 yearling by Footstepsinthesand; second foal; dam placed twice in Germany, half-sister to winners Sam Missile (1m-2m) and Marciano (6f-1m), out of 7f 2yo Group 2 winner, is granddaughter of Oaks/Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Imagine; the market moves can guide on debut.
By Saxon Warrior out of unraced daughter of a 1m2f Group 1 Nassau winner; 12-1 for novice at Newbury (1m2f, good) nearly four weeks ago, slowly away but running on nicely in third of nine despite hanging left; that contained major promise and is probably the best form in this field.
Down the field at Doncaster (50-1) last September but markedly better when front-running third of five in novice at Nottingham (also 1m on good) last month; set for further improvement and may well be a leading player.
Sea The Stars colt; 33-1 for maiden at Kempton (1m, AW) one month ago, ending up 4l fourth of 14 after a big move to dispute the lead 2f out; also had a Listed Dee Stakes entry at this meeting; in the mix with improvement looking assured.
Ran in three small-field novice events last May-September, easily best effort when 2l fourth of five at Haydock (1m, soft) on final occasion; much better should be needed to win this and her AW/handicap debut (9.4f; 20-1) in first-time cheekpieces 11 days ago was poor.
115,000euros breeze-up 2yo; 50-1 for a maiden at Kempton (1m, AW) in November and novice at Haydock (1m, good) 11 days ago; seriously hampered in the closing stages latterly but others still bring stronger claims.
From the family of the same connections' Group 1 winners Scope and Look Here; 11-2 from 8-1 when a green eighth of nine in maiden at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) nine days ago, unable to threaten in slowly run race; should improve but most of the others have shown much more.
