Alpine Trail (second choice) and Palazzo Blu made perfect starts on the AW and are open to improvement, but they have to concede weight to their rivals and if ANTRIM lives up to his excellent pedigree he might be up to making a successful debut. Eupator retains potential after two promising runs in the autumn and needs considering as well.[Richard O'Brien]

Ultimately impressive when making winning debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in February, needing to be cajoled along over 3f out but pulling 3l clear by the finish; well bred and open to plenty of improvement.
Came in for some support and overcame greenness to make winning start at Chelmsford (1m2f; 7-2) in November, leading near the finish; could be a useful performer in the making.
By Dubawi; dam 1m2f winner (RPR 84), closely related to outstanding 1m2f-1m4f performer Enable, out of 1m2f Listed winning sister to 12.5f Group 2 winner; bred in the purple and receives 7lb from the two winners in the field; fascinating newcomer.
Closely related to three winners including the useful Song Of Life; raced freely and faded when 8l fourth of eight on debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f; 6-1) seven weeks ago; improvement required but certainly possible.
Similar form in novices at Salisbury (1m, heavy) and Kempton (7f, AW) last autumn, rallying on second occasion; should stay at least 1m2f and retains untapped potential; has to be considered.
By Universal; dam 7f 2yo winner (RPR 82), closely related to 7f winner Queen's Course, out of Irish 6f 2yo Group 3 and Norwegian 1,000 Guineas winner; makes some appeal on pedigree so worth a market check.
