Couldn't land a blow on his debut (12-1) four weeks ago (not far behind Velorian King) over C&D; will need to step up from his racecourse introduction.

Not disgraced (beaten 4½l) on his debut over C&D at 50-1 four weeks ago; should be better for that run.

Sire a speed influence; already a gelding; related to 6f winner Golden Destiny; hard to fancy unless market points the other way against runners with experience.

Finished last of nine at Kenilworth over 6f (maiden juvenile plate) in first-time blinkers in April; still looking to open his account after three runs; returns from a break here; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Related to Imilenzeyokududuma, winning form over 7f-1m½f; nicely bred (by Starspangledbanner); it will be interesting to see if there's any confidence in the betting.

Produced a string of consistent efforts and detectable promise, knocking on the door on occasions; had two of these rivals behind him here over 6f (maiden plate) when runner-up (sent off 2-5) six weeks ago; assuming he steps up from most recent effort then has to be taken seriously.

Well held third of nine on his debut at Kenilworth at 12-1 in May; returns from a layoff; in the mix as appeals from a breeding angle and he could step up.

Verdict
AFRICAN WILD DOG is fancied for this. He comes here off the back of a fair effort last time and can confirm superiority with Fair Fate and Blue Lava who were behind him when last seen. Let's Celebrate is expected to take a forward step while Snow Space and Raise A Hoof look the part on pedigree, and Snow Space has an eyecatching draw.
