His outside draw is not ideal but Epsom runner-up JIFF'S ARMY can be excused his recent lesser effort on soft ground and is taken to open his account at the fourth attempt. Nahash stuck to his task pretty well when third on his Chelmsford debut and is second choice, while Minelone and Tattie Bogle may fare best of the newcomers.[Chris Wilson]

£10,000 breeze-up 2yo; third foal; Invincible Army half-brother to 6f Listed 2yo winner Dragon Leader; dam GB/US 5.7f-1m winner (including 2yo; RPR 92); jumps-oriented stable has had five 2yo winners this year.
Sets clear form standard, having finished second in quite valuable Epsom maiden (7f, good) last month and he may not have been suited by soft ground when beaten favourite at Brighton 12 days ago; major player, despite his awkward draw.
Fifth foal; half-brother to connections' fair 7f winner Lincoln Gamble and low-grade 6f winner Lincoln Spirit; dam 7f winner (RPR 57), half-sister to useful/prolific 5f winner Haajes; probably best watched on debut.
Third foal; dam 13.3f AW winner (RPR 82), half-sister to winners James Garfield (6f/7f including 2yo Group 2), The Shrew (useful 7.4f turf 2yo/1m AW) and Eva Marie (useful 1m-1m2f); stable has pretty good strike-rate with newcomers.
Out of a sister to useful 7f/1m winner Jassaar; no threat to front pair but still made a very encouraging debut when keeping-on third at Chelmsford (7f) last month; ought to make his presence felt here.
Tenth foal; half-brother to four winners including Tartlette (10.6f AW; RPR 103) and Column (7.4f-1m2f including 2yo/Australia; 90); dam 7f-1m3f winner (including 2yo/US 1m1f Grade 3; 105); looks the part on paper.
1,000gns yearling; first foal; dam placed 1m3f/1m4f AW (RPR 72), closely related to Irish Derby winner Treasure Beach, half-sister to Listed winners Elidor (1m6f) and Honor Bound (11.6f); may find 7f a bit sharp.
11,000euros yearling; sixth foal; half-sister to a Listed-placed French winner (7.5f-1m4f) and a Polish 7f winner; dam French middle-distance winner; stable not yet got going with 2yos this season.
First foal from a fair 1m2f AW winner; wore hood and was too green to do herself justice when 33-1 for recent debut at Bath (5.7f, good); needs to have learnt a lot very quickly.
£1,000 yearling; second foal; dam French/German 1m3f/1m4f winner, half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Prosperous Voyage; would be a rare winning newcomer for the stable.
First foal from unraced half-sister to Canadian 1m 2yo Grade 1 winner Capla Temptress; 40-1, showed some ability when keeping-on sixth at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month but needs improvement here.
