25/1

Comment: Victor Ludorum colt; dam well beaten in France, half-sister to French winner Lilac Fairy (1m 2yo Listed) out of French 9.5f/1m2f 2yo scorer; potentially useful, having cost 420,000euros as a yearling.

Do Or Do Not

Jockey: George Downing Trainer: E Walker Age/Wt: 2/9-7

66/1

Comment: 10,000euros foal, £38,000 yearling; Victor Ludorum half-brother to French 1m winner Knuckle, out of unraced half-sister to French 1m scorer Darena; one of two newcomers for this stable.

Sirius A

Jockey: J Mitchell Trainer: James Horton Age/Wt: 2/9-7

125/1

Comment: 45,000gns yearling; Palace Pier half-brother to three winners, notably Light Of Night (French 10.5f; RPR 93); dam 7.5f 2yo/1m Listed scorer (108); may be more interesting when sent over further.

Telling Time

Jockey: Tyler Heard Trainer: M D I Usher Age/Wt: 2/9-7

150/1

Comment: 18,000gns yearling; Time Test half-brother to two winners over 1m; unraced dam closely related to 1m Group 1 scorer Toronado; that pedigree suggests he'll find 6f too sharp.

Whinbarrow

Jockey: L Morris Trainer: J S Moore Age/Wt: 2/9-7

150/1

Comment: 1,500euros yearling; by Profitable out of a maiden (RPR 70) half-sister to winners Dark Pearl (1m2f-1m4f) and Cosette (11.4f-2m); the least appealing contender.

Alpine Stroll

Jockey: S D Bowen Trainer: M Wigham Age/Wt: 7/9-7 F: 31470- OR: 70

70/1

Comment: Won two middle-distance handicaps last season and he's only 1lb higher than for his soft-ground success at Yarmouth last October; signs the stable are emerging from a quiet spell and the betting should be revealing.

1 tip

Comment: Better known for his AW exploits and although he's lower rated on grass, this trip looks an issue (unplaced all six runs at 1m4f).

Imperial Cult

Jockey: Finley Marsh Trainer: R Cook & J Bridger Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 983-76 OR: 63

Comment: Won three handicaps last summer at 1m2f and 1m4f; ended 2024 with a good third at Newmarket (1m1f; off 3lb higher); not at his best in two runs this season but likely to come good again at some point.
