Being an impressive C&D winner who looks the type to improve further and do well in handicaps, SIXTYGEESBABY (nap) is particularly interesting, especially as the Callan connection is sustained with Jack taking over from dad Neil. Aurora Majesty, another interesting handicap debutant, is second choice ahead of solid contenders American Style and Dark Cloud Rising.[Steve Boow]

Progressive over 6f in the north last year, winning twice; good third when favourite for the Two Year Old Trophy in final outing; hit with a 14lb rise in his mark for that effort but could have more to offer.
Campaigned at Group level last term after debut win, best effort when third in the Coventry; ran to nowhere near his mark in Ascot handicap (7f) on reappearance but may fare better with the outing under his belt.
Showed useful form over 6f in last two starts as a 2yo, opening his account with easy success in Curragh sales race then creditable third in York Listed event; may improve further this term and is one to consider.
Gelded after final 2yo start; fairly useful form in 6f handicaps this term, making all at Pontefract then respectable fourth at Newmarket; ties in with American Style on the latter effort; solid chance.
Went close in turf contest on debut; campaigned on AW since, winning twice at novice level but producing mixed results in handicaps; chance depends on whether the return to this sphere prompts progress.
Unraced at two; campaigned over 7f this spring, winning twice on AW then coming up well short in the Greenham; may be capable of progress back down in class, with this trip worth exploring (closely related to a 6f scorer); shortlisted.
Form figures of 411 in 6f novice events, the wins at Newmarket (impressively) and Doncaster (narrowly), both under Neil Callan; now ridden by that jockey's son Jack, who takes off a handy 7lb; interesting with further improvement plausible.
Turf promise last August has substance; subsequent AW form (mostly over 6f) features a novice win and two fairly useful handicap efforts, latest at Newcastle on Good Friday; looks capable of being involved.
Had wind surgery prior to reappearance win at Ripon where he made all; creditable second over C&D since, having raced close to the pace set by Dark Moon Rising; both hold solid claims in the rematch.
