There are some reservations about Bedouin Prince being able to defy a penalty as his Doncaster race was nothing special, and there are well-bred improvers lurking. NOBLE HORIZON made a hugely encouraging debut on the AW last year and he could take a significant step forward during his second season, while his stablemate Eternal Force is no doubt better than he showed first time out. Wicked can improve some more and Favorite Memory is bred to be smart.[Alistair Jones]

Half-brother to a 1m4f winner in France and he improved for the step up to 1m2f when narrowly off the mark on good to soft at Doncaster; might not be overly inconvenienced by this drop in trip, but that latest form hasn't worked out particularly well and he carries a penalty.
Beat only one home here in October (7f, soft; 5-1) but he's a well-bred son of Dubawi who should be capable of much better and he encounters different ground this time.
15,000euros foal, 6,000gns yearling; third foal; dam unplaced 7f-1m6f (RPR 46), half-sister to Listed-placed winners Arm Candy (7f/1m) and Mutajarred (1m-1m2f); opposable first time out in a race of this nature.
Kingman colt out of Irish Oaks winner Great Heavens; only 9-2 at Kempton (1m) and after getting a little outpaced he saw his race out well to finish fourth of 13; looks a surefire improver at three; yard runs two so the market could be informative.
Kingman colt out of a smart Galileo mare and cost 600,000gns; with all that in mind it's been an underwhelming start in 7f/1m novices, the latest at Southwell; has been slow to break in both races so still learning the job, and therefore a likely improver at some point.
Frankel filly and a sister to US 1m turf winner Daddy Frank; dam unplaced 1m/9.5f in France (RPR 72), closely related to US 1m1f Grade 3 winner Andromeda's Hero; would command considerable respect if at all strong in the market.
