Noble Traveller made a very encouraging debut in a useful race for newcomers at Deauville last month and looks a sure-fire improver on the back of it.
It was very encouraging he showed so much speed over seven furlongs given he's bred for middle distances, and he was arguably unlucky not to make a winning start, traffic problems resulting in him conceding first run on the winner.
He was still travelling well when meeting trouble two furlongs out, shaken up for a run soon after and only just failing to get up on the line. Noble Traveller has the Horse In Focus Flag following that run and, with the potential for much more, he looks a very big player in this field with the booking of Ryan Moore catching the eye.

Jojo Rabbit was a winner at Pontefract earlier in the year and he arrives in better form than his recent form figures suggest.
He failed to beat a rival at Beverley two starts ago, but he was caught wide from the worst of the draw, and he again was caught on the wing when hitting the frame at Musselburgh a fortnight ago.
Jojo Rabbit handles all sorts of ground, so the return to an easier surface won't be an issue, and he's now 2lb below his last winning mark, so he is one to keep on the right side - he has the Horse In Focus Flag.

Manxman has a good record at Goodwood, a winner over this course and distance last season, and this looks a good opening for him.
He made a good return from almost a year off the track at York last month, leaving the impression he's as good as ever in what was a competitive race.
Manxman had plenty more behind him than in front of him that day and he now finds himself in a weaker handicap. He was beaten just a nose in the Cesarewitch a couple of years ago and presumably this will put him spot on for another crack at that prestigious handicap next month.
