Prepense has already shown promise
Has run well for me
She faced some stiff tasks after winning a Lingfield handicap, but she ran well for me when fourth in the Dick Poole at Salisbury and a mark of 92 looks fair enough on that run.
Needs the race but you never know
He is a Ulysses colt out of a mare who won over 1m in Ireland, and we obviously think a bit of him to be starting him here. A starting point is what it is though, as I imagine he will need the race and the experience, but we will be happy to be proved wrong in a race in which you clearly don't know what you are up against.
Good chance if he's at his best
He went over to Riyadh and ran okay I suppose but he looks to hold strong enough claims here if he is at his best, as a horse beaten only a length in the Prix Maurice de Gheest last season. That represents Group 1 form in a Group 3 race.
He was also just touched off in this race last season so he has a good chance, although Creative Force could be troublesome and there are some improvers in here, too.
Decent claims but against unknown quantities
This Kingman filly is related to some good winners and she ran two promising races over this trip last season. That level of form already gives her decent claims, with the prospect of more to come. But it is obviously a race with plenty of unknown quantities.
Hoping to build on promising debut
I don't know much about him other than what you know as well, and that is he seemed to shape well enough on his debut at Lingfield last month. The step up to 1m2f looks a fair move on pedigree.
