Eightthreeone (second choice) deserves to be popular after his debut display here nine days ago, although Touchwoodnwhistle turning the tables is not beyond the realms of possibility if he's learned something from that experience. Buenos Dias makes some appeal judged on his first race, but not so much after his second, and the vote goes to MEHMAS AIR FORCE who shaped nicely at Leicester. The two newcomers need a market check.[Richard Austen]

13-8 favourite for both starts; close third on debut at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) but he faded into sixth of 12 at Beverley (5f, good) 12 days later; needs to put that latest run behind him.
Mixed pedigree for stamina; 3-1 for four-runner maiden here (5f, firm) nine days ago, making most and giving the 8-15 favourite plenty to think about until the final half furlong, while Touchwoodnwhistle was eventually getting the hang of things in third; should put up another bold show.
35,000euros yearling; seventh foal; Mehmas half-brother to Group-placed 6f-10.5f winner Qaader (including 2yo; RPR 112); dam maiden (71) half-sister to German 1m Group 3 winner Sahib's Joy, out of unraced sister to 1m4f Group 1 winner Shirocco; market can guide on debut.
18-1, showed some ability and promise when coming from last to third in a four-runner maiden here (5f, firm) nine days ago; runner-up Eightthreeone showed a lot more dash but this one was getting the hang of things.
6,000euros yearling by Dandy Man; third foal; dam unraced sister to 1m and Listed 1m4f winner Salouen; trainer had his first 2yo winner of the season at Brighton two weeks ago (with a newcomer) and another yesterday.
32,000gns yearling; second foal of a 1m4f winner (RPR 80); 28-1 for maiden at Leicester (5f, good) 18 days ago, held up and never dangerous but running on into fifth of 15; looks sure to improve.
