Ice Cold Alex
An April foal so did well to make a winning debut last month at Pontefract (5f, good) and in second that day was previous-race contender Saucy Jane who has twice franked the form; certainly not dismissed.

Raakeb
Never far away when making a winning debut at Ripon (5f, good; 9-2) but it didn't look a strong race and the form has taken some knocks; will need more here if he's to follow up.

Tropical Dreamer
Late-March foal; travelled best and kept on well to collect over C&D a month ago (good; 11-2) when Hilary Needler contender Artista was back in third; difficult to know how good he might be.

Old Is Gold
200,000gns breeze-up buy; beaten a length at Ascot (5f, good to firm) where he only wilted late on after racing prominently; the winner is now 2-2 for Godolphin and presumably bound for Royal Ascot; strong contender.

Naval Light
Bought for 360,000gns at the Craven Breeze-Up Sale in April and represents the same connections of last year's winner Shareholder, another expensive breeze-up recruit who went on to win the Norfolk at Royal Ascot; this colt is probably pretty smart.

Straight Ahead
First foal out of an ordinary sprinter and half-sister to winners Opal Tiara (1m/1m1f Group 2) and Twentyfirst Lancer (bumper); surprising if he's up to this first time out.
