Redhot Whisper has the best form and ran well last time but is now 0-10 and has been expensive to follow. Joseph is a contender on the back of his encouraging handicap debut second at Newcastle but two of the once-raced contenders catch the eye. RUN WITH IT failed to live up to his market billing at Wolverhampton last month but his inexperience was evident and he could be a different proposition today. C&D fourth Francis Drake is also open to improvement on his second start.[Ben Hutton]

0-10 and needs to prove he can get the job done, but he has the best form in this field and ran well when third in a recent maiden at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta); wears tongue-tie and cheekpieces together for first time.
4yo who was well beaten at 25-1 on debut at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) last April and absent since; plenty to prove but this 100,000euros yearling has an attractive pedigree and could take a big step forward at some stage.
13-2 when soundly beaten fourth on debut over C&D 16 days ago; however, that run wasn't devoid of promise and his dam was a Group 3 winner; open to improvement in a first-time tongue-tie; possible contender.
Well backed for debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in October and finished a promising second of 14; underwhelming when fourth at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) since but remains of interest; could bounce back with bold show.
Made the frame on first three starts (including here) before creditable second of four on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m) three weeks ago; has very realistic claims today.
75,000gns yearling; 12th foal; half-brother to six winners notably Endless Time (1m-1m6f including AW/Group 2), Red October (1m-1m4f including AW; RPR 95) and The Sky Is Blazing (1m AW; 94); this Ghaiyyath colt may need a longer trip in future but he's not ruled out on debut.
Slowly away and beaten nearly 8l when fourth of ten on last month's debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta); however, he was sent off the warm 11-8 favourite and this 125,000euros breeze-up buy could be a lot sharper today.
Improved upon October's debut run at Newbury (1m, heavy) when close fourth at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in December, when carried left late on by the third; from a talented family and could continue to progress for top yard.
Half-sister to top-class 6f/7f performer Limato but well beaten at 14-1 at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) in November on sole run for William Haggas; a transformation is needed on this first run for her new stable.
