Pole Star was a highly creditable fourth on last week's debut at Chester and is a tempting option, but preference is for GOLD CUP DAY who impressed at Salisbury a fortnight ago. Ripon winner Middle Ages and Doncaster runner-up Dangerman could also be involved.[Ben Hutton]

Hinted at promise on last month's debut at Newbury (1m3f, good) and won easily at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; from a classy family and should continue to progress; leading claims under 6lb penalty.
One run last year and showed improved form to win at 1-4 on last month's return at Ripon (1m4f, good); needs another step forward to defy a penalty today but this 250,000gns yearling could have lots more left in the tank.
Tailed off at 16-1 on debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) last month but showed promise when second of three at Doncaster (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; this 210,000gns yearling is in excellent hands to continue to improve and could have a part to play.
Promising third on debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last month and another good run when fifth of seven at Haydock (11.6f, good); however, he needs something extra if he's to get off the mark today.
Inexperience evident when 20-1 on last Friday's debut at Chester (1m4f, good) and he did very well to finish a 2l fourth of six against rivals who had already shown considerable ability; big player if building on that.
