RULER TIME has been knocking on the door and can deservedly break his maiden. Gonna Fly will need to improve for the longer trip, but that's wholly possible.

Verdict
$700,000 Not This Time gelding who found only subsequent Dewhurst winner too good on debut at Newbury last summer and has finished runner-up in 3 of his 4 starts since, latterly behind a useful one at Doncaster. 1¼m under these conditions should prove within range and he looks the one to beat.

Verdict
Made an impressive winning start in a 1m Newbury novice (heavy) last October. Went backwards in the Greenham on return (held Dante/Derby entries at the time) and while he concedes weight to a fairly useful sort here, the significant step up in trip should see him in a much better light.

Verdict
€28,000 foal, 125,000 gns yearling, Lope Y Fernandez filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 1¼m-21.6f winner Stratum and 2-y-o 7f-1m winner Star Player. Dam 8.3f winner who stayed 1½m. Makes some appeal on pedigree but is probably one for another day. Wears hood for debut.

Verdict
Well held in a pair of 1m novices (latterly at this course). Longer trip is more in-keeping with his pedigree, however, he's unlikely to make an impact in novice company.
