More questions than answers, with the two newcomers hard to fancy and five others coming back in distance. Velvet Whisper and Antalya have a bit of potential returning from breaks, but perhaps the drop to sprinting will suit the free-going SAGUARO BLOSSOM in first-time headgear.[Graham Wheldon]

Again pulled hard and failed to see out 7f on Polytrack last time; went close on her C&D debut (heavy) last autumn but she's exposed now and would have been 11lb better off with Saguaro Blossom were this a handicap.
Raced only over 7f, making most (again) from a wide stall at Kempton last time, but should be suited by the drop to sprinting as long as she settles better in today's first-time headgear; one to consider.
First foal of a once-raced maiden; went for 45,000euros as a yearling before being picked up for just 1,000gns last autumn; trainer has gained most success with older horses on the AW; likely best watched.
Third of four on debut and a well-beaten fourth of five latest, each time behind a useful winner; drops in trip and may find life easier once handicapping after today.
Prominent in the market for two 7f starts on Tapeta last October, failing to back up debut promise when well held the second time; interesting to see how she goes in the market back from seven months off.
Two decent efforts round Chelmsford last backend, from a wide stall over 7f on debut, then under another aggressive ride down to 6f; neither race has worked out particularly well but she's one of the more interesting runners back from five months off.
Both runs over 7f at Kempton, shaping fairly first time out before pulling away her chances latest; not bred for sprinting and needs to improve on today's turf debut.
Again gave her running on her first crack at sprinting last Monday, when taking an early bump won't have helped, but she's exposed and has been expensive to follow; bit more on her plate switching back to maiden company.
