U.S.-bred and cost a cool million as a yearling. Shaped well on debut last time, looking as if he would come on a ton for the experience. The one to beat here.

Here's a maiden at under a mile which is populated mainly by a load of horses from jumping yards. Most of them will struggle at the trip despite the likely very soft ground. The favourite may very well struggle to cope with the ground as well, so the choice has to be the second favourite, State of Wyoming. The selection hasn't run so far, so he has to be taken on trust. There are soft-ground winners in his pedigree which might help him win this.

With O'Brien's horses not firing, a solid each-way alternative to the warm favourite looks to be Tashakour, who at 11/2 looks nailed on for at least a place. He was staying on well last time, and this step up in trip looks the right move.

An intriguing debutant that has not yet been showcased. With the capable Gavin Cromwell as his trainer, he is in good hands. As a half-brother to the impressive Sirius Prospect, his breeding suggests that the 1m trip and heavy ground could be ideal for his first race. He has place prospects at 33/1 if he is ready to compete.
