King's Charter sets a good standard on his best 2yo form and is a key player on his comeback. Mudbir landed the odds in good style at Chelmsford and is respected under a penalty, while last month's Newcastle winner Sea The Light is open to progress on his step up in trip. High Degree looks interesting after his promising debut second at Nottingham, but the vote goes to HARD ENDEAVOR, who was an eyecatching third in the Wood Ditton and that was behind a subsequent Listed runner-up.[David Moon]

Kingman colt who is a sibling to some smart horses for these connections; made a promising start when runner-up at Newmarket (7f, soft) in October and he landed the odds with a comfortable win at Chelmsford (1m, AW) on his recent return; has a penalty but he looks a useful prospect and is strongly respected back on turf.
15-2 when getting up late to win by a short head on debut in a small field at Newcastle (7f, AW) five weeks ago; carries a 7lb penalty today and others have more substance to their form but this Sea The Stars colt is open to plenty of improvement on this step up in trip; in the mix.
Well held in two runs (1m2f/1m4f) for Ralph Beckett during the winter and was a tailed-off last on stable debut at Beverley (1m4f, good) last month; has lots to prove now dropped to 1m and can only be watched.
150,000euros yearling; 11-4 favourite in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m, good) in April and and he made some promising late headway to finish third of 15; that form puts him firmly in the picture and he should be more streetwise this time; interesting contender.
Ran green when joint-favourite on Nottingham debut (8.3f, good to firm) last month but he kept on well in the closing stages to finish a clear second; this is a deeper race but he should know much more this time and yard has been firing in winners recently; respected.
550,000euros foal, 650,000euros yearling; has a striking pedigree and he showed plenty of promise when reaching the frame at Sandown (7f) and Newbury (1m) last summer; been gelded since but his form has plenty of substance and he sets the standard on his return; key player.
150,000gns foal; third foal; half-brother to 7f/1m 2yo winner Ghostwriter (including Group 2; RPR 120); dam Listed-placed 1m4f AW winner (98), half-sister to useful 7f/1m winner Marching Time, out of sister to 2,000 Guineas winner Zafonic; hood is applied on debut but he makes plenty of appeal on paper and needs watching in market.
54,000euros yearling; gelded half-brother to French Group-placed 9.5f/1m2f winner Chartwell (RPR 105); dam French 9.5f winner (86), half-sister to 5f Group 3 winner Ideal Beauty; has useful target to aim at on debut and is best watched unless market suggests otherwise.
Well-related colt but he made a low-key start at a big price here (7f, good to firm) last month; was beaten 13l in that race and he's probably one for further down the line.
Missed the break and was never involved when sixth of seven at Newcastle (7f, AW) in the autumn; goes up in trip on her return but she has stacks to find in this useful race and others are preferred.
78,000gns yearling; well-bred filly but she didn't live up to market expectations at Newbury in April and was well held again at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; still early days but she needs a transformation back on turf.
Half-sister to winners Eileendover (smart bumper; 1m6f Flat, RPR 101), John Clare (7f; 77) and Special Mayson (6f/7f; 73); dam 1m winner (79), half-sister to 1m/1m2f winner Wintercrack, out of 1,000 Guineas winner Speciosa; this looks a tough starting point and is probably best watched.
Seventh foal; sister to 6f winner Belated Breath (RPR 97), half-sister to five winners including Quickthorn (1m3f-2m including Group 1; 119) and City Streak (9.4f-1m4f; 98); dam 7f-1m2f winner (74); has useful standard to aim at on debut and she could be a longer-term prospect.
