The contenders

Red Tail KTB Fit 51/100

Richard Hannon · Seamus Cronin(5)

Richard Hannon's newcomer is bred to have speed and was a respectable breeze-up purchase. The yard's solid 21% strike-rate at Brighton from a big sample gives some encouragement on debut. Connections will be hoping the colt is ready to go on good to firm ground.

Napps Way KTB Fit 49/100

Form 7 · J S Moore · Donagh Murphy(7)

Napps Way showed little on debut when finishing seventh and has only that one run to go on. The yard's modest 5% strike-rate at Brighton from a big sample suggests this is no banker for a quick turnaround. Trip looks fine on paper but with so little evidence overall this one is best watched.

Enamored KTB Fit 49/100

Form 35 · Ed Dunlop · David Probert

Placed third on debut then finished fifth last time, so has shown a bit of ability in two runs at this trip. The yard has a solid 15% strike rate at Brighton from a big sample of runners. With only two starts on the clock the form has to be treated with caution.

The rest of the field

Little MesterKTB Fit 49/100

Cruse On ByeKTB Fit 42/100
