IMPERIAL BALLET (2) First up from a spell of 57 weeks. Kicked clear when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last time at Newbury and having second career run. Top prospects against this opposition. CLOUD FOREST (1) Flashed home late into 2nd last start at Newbury and matched against a less competitive field. Has run into the money frequently this preparation and has the ideal draw. Respect against this field. HOZAM (6) Put in a competitive run when placing 2nd beaten by 1L last time at Newcastle and up against a less challenging field. Promising career start. Will be there at the finish. MANJAROS EXPRESS (7) First time at the races 3yo by Sergei Prokofiev for Martin Dunne and gets a favourable draw. Alice Bond is a key engagement. Betting is the best guide.

Good effort to finish 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at Newbury and up against a less competitive field. Showing good ability this campaign. Should go very close.

Back from a spell of 57 weeks. Was rock solid when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last time at Newbury and was on debut last time. Absolutely right in this.

Jumped at $201.00 and didn't find the line when 11th last start at Kempton but dropping in class. This field likely to be too good.

First run back from a 37 week break. Started $17.00 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last start at Lingfield but was a debutant last start. Big improvement required to threaten these.

Fresh after break of 44 weeks. Jumped at $26.00 and outmuscled in the late stages when 4th last run at this venue and fitter for debut run. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

Looked good when 2nd last start at Redcar and taking on a lower class of opponents. Should race on the speed. Solid career start. Place best.

Odds of $41.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 5th last run at Newcastle but competing in a lower grade. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Will be tested.

Odds of $126.00 and folded up in the straight when 9th last run at the track but goes down in grade. Likely to get back in the field. Others much better.

Was $34.00 and ordinary when 6th last run at Goodwood but stepping down to a lower level. Expected to settle towards the rear. Coming back in trip. Struggle to recommend.
