SHAMEFUL's reappearance defeat at Kempton may have been viewed as somewhat disappointing at the time but that certainly isn't the case now. Indeed, the winner went on to chase home a potentially classy colt in a listed race at Newmarket and, taking that into account, Shameful could be on a very good mark for this handicap bow. Solar Army doesn't appear entirely straightforward but he's proving consistent and is second choice with Ryan Moore aboard. The promising Nakeeb also merits respect.

    Verdict
    Confirmed promise of sole 2-y-o start at Newmarket when runner-up on his return back there for the Craven meeting last month. Subsequently fended off an improver from the Gosden yard (pair clear of the rest) in a Doncaster maiden (7f, good to firm) and mark for this handicap debut looks fair.

    Verdict
    Kingman colt from a good family and overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 5-runner novice at Newcastle (7f) in February. Still looked green when third of 9 upped to a mile at Southwell the following month (gelded since) and improvement needed now moving into handicap company.

    Verdict
    Runner-up final 2 starts of last term and went one better in a 7f Kempton handicap on return in March (first run since gelded). Lost no caste in defeat when second at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) next time, despite again not looking the easiest or rides, and merits respect with Ryan Moore booked.

    Verdict
    Showed plenty of dash to get off the mark in a 7f Leicester maiden last month, drawing clear under mostly hand riding. Better than the bare result when sixth of 11 on subsequent handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) but he doesn't appear to be screaming out for this step up to a mile.

    Verdict
    Runner-up twice from his first 4 starts and the step up to 1¼m appeared to stretch him switched to turf at Newmarket 13 days ago. Now back at what appears to be his optimum trip but will need to improve for the fitting of a first-time visor if he's to land the spoils.

    Verdict
    Successful on debut at Epsom last summer prior to finishing fourth in a 5-runner Group 3 in France on second and final start of 2-y-o campaign. Reappearance third in an AW novice was a solid effort, too, and perhaps 1¼m on good to soft ground wasn't ideal on his subsequent handicap bow at Sandown.

    Verdict
    Continued theme of race-by-race progress when off the mark at third attempt in a Kempton novice (7f) in December. Gelded ahead of handicap debut sixth at Newmarket where he never looked entirely comfortable back on turf. Others preferred.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful form on 2 of his 3 starts for Joseph O'Brien before making a winning start for this yard in a 5-runner Kempton nursery (1m) in November. Subsequently gelded and failed to make much of an impact on return at Newmarket but he still has time on his side.

    Verdict
    Left 2-y-o debut form well behind when runner-up at odds of 50/1 in a soft-ground 7f Yarmouth novice in October. Further progress on return upped to a mile at the same course where he landed a maiden on very different ground (good to firm). May have more to offer now pitched into a handicap.

    Verdict
    Nearer last than first on debut last summer but didn't finish out of the first two in 5 subsequent starts during 2-y-o campaign. Didn't run at all badly when fifth on his reappearance in a 7f Newmarket handicap (Rogue Diplomat ½-length adrift in sixth) but more will be needed in this stronger race.

    Made it 2-4 for Hilal Kobeissi when readily landing 7f Southwell handicap in March but subsequent debut for this yard on turf debut at Haydock wasn't overly inspiring. Roman Centurion is presumably the stable first-string.

    Strong in betting and knew his job when winning a maiden here (6f, good to soft) on sole 2-y-o start. Failed to land the odds on return at Kempton (7f) in March but the one that beat him that day has since run well in listed company and the third has won since. Gelded ahead of this handicap bow.

    Successful in a Chelmsford novice and nursery at Newmarket at 2 yrs (both 7f). Showed the benefit of reappearance spin here last month when runner-up at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 2 weeks later but will need to raise his game if he's to go one better here.
