Couldn't land a blow on his debut over 6f at 25-1 six weeks ago; if the penny drops, looks a likely player.

Attempting to get off the mark at the seventh time of asking (fourth his best finish so far); finished eighth, beaten a fair way over 7½f here (maiden plate) in July; others more persuasive.

Held towards the rear of 13 but was making his first appearance over 6f here at 80-1 four weeks ago; now knows what is expected of him; should not be far away.

Trainer's stats offers some hope; gelded already; sibling of Kill Shot (7f winner); first competitive racecourse experience; chances are that he is best watched this time unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Beaten 9l (sixth) at Kenilworth over 1m (maiden plate) 53 days ago; some promise; closest he has come to winning after four starts was a second.

This son of Royal Mo is running for the first time; stable is operating at a respectable strike-rate; already gelded; sibling of Qhude Manikiniki (1m winner); could be better for the experience so probably best watched.

Fair effort (beaten 2½l, Kenilworth) two months ago; can be a player at this level.

Nicely bred (by Gimmethegreenlight); related to Grade 3 winner Gimmie's Countess; warrants respect as some good aspects to his profile.

Not beaten too far when fourth here over 1m (maiden plate) six weeks ago; must be high on list if giving a more streetwise showing and has a pedigree which suggests there is more to come.

Finished fourth on his debut, albeit only beaten 1½l over C&D at 33-1 four weeks ago; can have a big say as appeals from a breeding angle and his initial effort was most encouraging.

Running in first race; from the same family as Fly Futura, a winner over 1m1f; this doesn't look easy against experienced rivals so watch the market.

Comfortably beaten finishing third (7l) at Kenilworth in May in a maiden juvenile plate; first-time blinkers now tried; has had some time off; could be interesting.

Verdict
Godric Gryffindor might have a say, and Continue The Dream is probably the most intriguing of the debutants. However, firm preference is for CONFIRMED. He ran well enough first time out to suggest a race of this nature is within his compass.
