1. Island Bandit | First-up after 28 week break. Has genuine early speed. Can figure. |
2. Night Arc | Amongst the placegetters last start running third at Nottingham when fresh. Looks the leader and ran second at Salisbury when last second-up. Leading hope. |
3. Homeric | A winner at 1m 2f on the all-weather. Finished 5l behind Spy when sixth of 8 at 3-1 on his latest outing at Wolverhampton over 1m 1f in March. |
4. Al Azhar | Last start winner to break maiden at Goodwood when fresh. Capable of racing on speed and Jim Crowley a bonus. Expect to be right up there. |
5. My Boy Jack | Unplaced in all three starts. Well beaten at 100-1 behind Akhu Najla when eighth of 10 on his latest outing at Yarmouth over 1m (good to firm) last month. |
6. Aryaah | Coming off a win to break maiden at Bath. Looks the leader and large claim helps. Sneaky chance. |
7. Wolf Of Oxshott | Yet to place in three starts. Beaten 16l behind Assessment at 100-1 when eighth of 10 on his latest outing at Yarmouth over 1m (good to firm) last month. |
8. Secret Service | Unplaced in all three starts. Beaten 16l behind King Of Time at 66-1 when eighth of 10 on his latest outing at Lingfield over 1m in March. |
